Schools For Scandal And The Sin Of Conservative Indifference

Pay attention, class. The question is, to what? The answer is, the simple fact that the Democratic Party owns the public school system and uses it like a triple AAA farm club to groom, develop and indoctrinate talent for future liberal campaigns and activism. It is not at all uncommon for a fair number of teachers to use their classes as platforms for promoting their own partisan political views. If we ever meet face to face, I'll share some serious horror stories with you. But I'm not writing right now to excorciate the dems for trying to take control of our kids. For one, I'm not a whiner. For two, their control is pretty seriously entrenched and not likely to be shaken loose any time soon, or, put another way, you and what army? And three, rather than complain about the other guy, I like to think I am more intensely focused on what we should be doing and not on what the other guy did. That just leads to, well, open ended whining. Please see one again.

My suggestion is simple: That people start asking the state party what they are doing in terms of putting money and man power into encouraging the formation of republican and conservative clubs on high school campuses across the state. Mind you, requests for clubs should come from the kids, that is how it should be. But if the party and its members and supporters were to encourage their kids to start forming these clubs, that would be a good idea. Speaking of which, the party has definitely been doing a better job of supporting college republicans. But we need to lower our sights, so to speak, to include a younger high school age group.

If we want these kids to have a shot at getting even a scintilla of objectivity and the opportunity to hear a different point of view, and if we want our kids to be something else besides fodder for liberal propaganda, the state party needs to make this a major focus and stop staring blankly into space every time the question is raised.
