Our AFT/NEA/Government Schools/Libthink Indoctrination Centers must be feeling threatened.
They want to start the brainwashing at three years old now.
Noteworthy:
"Former Assistant Education Secretary Susan Neuman said she thinks most parents will have no choice but to see their young children educated away from home.
'The reality is that most of our children need child care, regardless,' she said. 'Many parents are lucky enough to be home for the day. But more often than not they will need child care.'
Neuman added: 'What we’re talking about is how to create a quality environment for those children. It’s not enough just to have access. We need quality.'"
....so says yet another one of George Bush's bad appointments.
"Quality", indeed.
It never stops, does it?
"However, Colleen Holmes, executive director of the conservative Eagle Forum, disagrees with (Randi) Weingarten’s age-specific referral of children for public education.
'I just think it’s a concern that education professionals seem to be targeting a specific age, especially the very young age of three, at which they would like to see children in state-sponsored daycare,' Holmes told CNSNews.com.
Holmes added that some parents do have a need for others to educate their young children. However, she said, it is important for young children to be, if not with their parents, attending 'parent-chosen caregiving settings,' such as churches or smaller daycares, where parents have an influence on their children’s values.
'It’s also very insulting to parents,' Holmes said of the arguments for earlier public education of children. 'I don’t know any parent who isn’t concerned about what their children are learning.'
'The child and society is best served when the parents are empowered rather than it being mandated that the child goes into state-sponsored schools,' she concluded."

AFT and NEA are controlled by those same nuts I refer to as the Intelligensia. And yes it isn't enough that they now control what our future teachers (and all others) are taught in our colleges and universities which then filters down to our children's classrooms, they now want to control day care. Next will be taking the children soon after birth. It has been done often in history and is still the norm in some countries. Upper class Muslims families often send their very young boys away to schools dominated of course by the Omans. Somehow this was made to appear to be the proper way to raise male children by those who wished to control the people. Catholic schools were formed for much the same reason.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I would rather trust my child to the religious groups than to the intelligentsia. BB
