[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] [URL=http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/02/critics-decry-obamas-lesson-plan-students/]Pump up the indoctrination...err...I mean education![/URL] [i]A suggested lesson plan that calls on school kids to write letters to themselves about what they can do to help President Obama is troubling some education experts, who say it establishes the president as a "superintendent in chief" and may indoctrinate children to support him politically. Obama will deliver a national address directly to students on Tuesday, which will be the first day of classes for many children across the country. The address, to be broadcast live on the White House's Web site, was announced in a letter to school principals last week by Education Secretary Arne Duncan. .... But in advance of the address, the Department of Education has offered educators "classroom activities" to coincide with Obama's message. Students in grades pre-K-6, for example, are encouraged to "build background knowledge about the president of the United States by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama." During the speech, "teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful." Possible activities after the speech include writing [b]"letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president." Teachers are encouraged to follow up on the students' progress in meeting that [/b]and other educational goals. .... McCluskey also noted that the lesson plans for young students contain suggestions to write letters to themselves on how they can help the president, but that suggestion is not in the lesson plan for middle and high schoolers -- perhaps due to the likelihood of increased political ties at that age.[/i] Teach the children to support the regime and you only have to wait one generation to be in power...where else have we seen this concept used...hmmm?
