Cleon Skoussen would say, “I told you so.”
With the coming general election, and the impressive youth movement within, one can only conclude Skoussen was a visionary. When watching today’s young people gush over Barack Obama, pledging allegiance to the Democrat Party, the phrase “Mission Accomplished” comes to mind.
The former FBI agent, in his 1958 book, “The Naked Communist”, enumerated several goals the left would take to obtain, and maintain, power in the United States. Some of those “goals” included…
“Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current communist propaganda.
“Get control of the teachers associations.
“Gain control of all student newspapers.”
But when it comes to today’s successful infiltration into academia, the phrase “Give ‘em an inch, and they think they’re rulers” come to mind.
According to Paul Rogers of The Mercury News, “A Silicon Valley lawmaker is gaining momentum with a bill that would require "climate change" to be among the science topics that all California public school students are taught.
"You can't have a science curriculum that is relevant and current if it doesn't deal with the science behind climate change," Simitian said. "This is a phenomenon of global importance and our kids ought to understand the science behind that phenomenon."
It’s not enough that today’s youth seem ill equipped with the basics. There is this FedEx commercial where a young employee can’t find China on a map. We have another commercial where a young man completes an online stock transaction for a company in Shanghai, and then tries to impress up with his knowledge that Shanghai is in China. Insurance commercials targeting young buyers today use cartoons.
And we wonder why Russia and China are so cocky.
While I’m only the son of an educator, wouldn’t we best spend our time teaching kids the basics, instead of pumping their little heads full of science that is, despite what Al Gore says, not conclusive?
I asked Dr. Timothy Ball about his thoughts on this California curriculum proposal and he replied, “The blunt truth is if you don't understand the science you simply have discussions in ignorance. You also have the problem that teachers can push there own political agenda consciously or subconsciously. Unfortunately, most parents have no idea what is being taught in the classroom, and too often it is not education it is indoctrination. This extends through to the university, where idealistic young minds are like a tabula rasa eager for ideas and vulnerable without experience.
SNIP:
Turning our kids into little, intolerant Democrats may have served a short-term goal, but mandating schools spend valuable class time “teaching” climate change that conveniently omits The Sun as a “warming” factor is a continued and dubious disservice, and waste of taxpayer money.
