"Free education for all children in public schools"
Marx wrote free education for all children was necessary under his notions of a supreme society. It allowed for a platform to indoctrinate the children of the proletariat (working class) to accept this transition from a Capitalist society to a Communist society. Simply summed up, to go from celebrating the individual to celebrating the people.
Today it's not uncommon to hear politicians make statements that, "It takes a village to raise a child" or "We need free pre-schooling" or watch a massive new Federal program be created like "No Child Left Behind." Nowhere in the Constitution is the Federal Government given the right to involve itself in education. In fact, the few powers the Federal Government has are expressly stated, the other rights are left to the States. In a Republic, which is what we had before the 17th Amendment took away State Representation in Congress, this would never have occurred. One State would not be paying for another State's education, nor would all States be mandated by Congress to teach according to directions given by the Federal Department of Education. These programs are intrusions of the Federal Government into State's Rights.
It's obvious which Political Party is favored by public school teachers. Democrats. Most teacher unions have or will endorse Obama. Two articles below deal with Teacher Unions passing out Obama buttons or directing teachers to wear clothing endorsing the Candidate. NY Post article Washington Times article
In the NY Post article, "While department officials said the courts are on their side in the matter, many city teachers say their right to wear partisan buttons is a matter of free speech." But does this "matter of free speech" apply to students who wear anti-Obama attire or who wear pro-McCain attire? Not 11 year old Daxx Dalton of Aurora, Colorado (MyFoxColorado article).
Liberal indoctrination of children has been going on since the 1960's. Liberal radical Professors permeate colleges; Ward Churchill who called the victims of 9/11 little Eichmanns; Andrew Hallam who directed students to write an essay critical of Sarah Palin; Maulana Karenga who invented Kwanzaa which is based on an African Humanist Philosophy; U of M in Amherst which offered college credits to students who canvassed for Obama; Stanley Aronowitz who founded Duke University's "Social Text" which published an article by Professor Sokal of NYU later known as the Sokal Affair; Center for the Study of Popular Culture commissioned a poll that found over 80% of faculty at Ivy League Universities voted for Gore in 2000 and 9% for Bush.
Why does any of it matter? If you read my previous blog entry titled Democrats and Liberals can't discriminate you would know that arguing with Leftists always resorts to them using pejoratives to dismiss your arguments. If children and college students are being indoctrinated with a Leftist ideology that promotes the good of the community and chastises the individual, Marx is winning. As a country founded on the principle of the God given Rights of the Individual, we're watching our values slowly erode by an unchallengeable ideology.

There are so many areas to cover regarding politics/philosophy/religion it's hard to know where to start. However, a fererally funded, gov't approved education system is the start of what will lead to our country's downfall. There's examples of how a "mind-controlling" education system WILL in fact make everyone think as one. We of course know that from Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. You can even see it in movies. Watch "The Island" and you can see how with education a persons ability to learn can be either hindered or controlled. Or read a book like Farenheit 451 where the law is that all books are illegal. There's a short story by Kurt Vonnegut called Harrison Bergeron where the Ammendments have actually gone way out of control (if i remember there was about 120 in this futuristic society) and ultimately to make everyone equal people who are superior are made inferior through various methods so nobody stands out from anyone else and everyone is "equal". The more that the state controls the education system, the more we are limited by what they deem necessary for us to learn. In California our summer vacations became shorter and shorter because they wanted us to learn more. Well, maybe if we cut out all the crap we're "supposed" to learn and taught us what we SHOULD learn, we'd be better off. From what I've gathered from friends, barely any school teaches you about finances or the stock market. Classes like work experience were the exeption not the norm. The school systems just have an in-place teaching structure they have to push us through and it doesn't matter who you are. They won't teach you how to apply for a home loan or how to have good credit, but they'll be sure to teach you how we "evolved" from some infinite chance. I think i like the idea of taking the money that the state would give to a school and letting the parent decide what school to give it to and send their child. It's like a free market economy but with education instead. If the teaching sucks at a school, guess what? No one will go there! Teachers and schools will have to compete to be the best. Also, parents will have more of a choice of what is being taught. If you want send your kids to go to a school that focuses on teaching evolution and some liberal agenda, go ahead! But at least my kids won't have to go there. I bet we will find that a lot of "important" classes wouldn't be that important after all. Maybe kids would actually learn how to think for themselves instead of just copying stuff out of book and learning jack shit. Unfortunately it'll never happen. The hippie culture has been ingrained in our education system and from a prophetic and historica standpoint, our country's time is running short. We are in a downward shit spiral and it's only a matter of time before Jesus takes the church. Then the real fun begins...
