Don’t Believe The Hype! President Obama Is Not Trying To Turn Your Children Into Zombies!
There is a lot of unnecessary hoopla on the part of the GOP in Michigan and Florida concerning President Barack Obama’s speech to the nation’s school aged children September 8, 2009. It is, however, very disturbing how a so-called reputable group of individuals can read something and completely create a fictional review of it.
Well folks, The Kaleidoscope Factor has evaluated the documents in question and have not found any evidence whatsoever that the President is trying to brainwash America’s children by “indoctrinating” them to join him in some evil plot to take over the world by hosting ‘death panels’ to turn senior citizens into Soylent Green.
We have included a link for you to investigate the educational materials that the the Department of Education and the Obama administration jointly collaborated in formulatting to aid children to thoroughly comprehend what the President will say to them next week.
The educational materials are pretty precise in pin-pointing and targeting school aged children’s comprehension capabilities. If teachers follow-up and engage their students after President Obama’s speech by using these materials, perhaps a spark can be ignited in a child’s heart to want to learn.
The root of this situation with GOP naysayers and those who want to hate on President Obama is a simple one: there’s a lot of people that still refuse to believe that there is an educated African American man in the White House and these in turn refuse to accept or acknowledge his leadership. Being that he is from my generation, I get what it is he is trying to do.
Do you remember “The School House Rock” series that used to come on Saturday mornings back in the seventies? How about the “After School Specials?” Did you know that there were educational materials from these that were used in the classrooms of 1970′s children? I recall a movie about teen suicide that starred a young Charlie Sheen in his very first acting role. It was pretty controversial. There were educational materials provided in the classroom that teachers discussed with their classes before the program aired and the next day in school.
A lot of parents and so-called interested parties were totally against the subject matter and the classroom discussion. But did they understand the enormous impact the movie had on it’s teen viewers? My classmates opened up about deep feelings of depression and despair they felt. The pressure to succeed and get into college. The pressure of being liked in school. So many different issues. The movie spoke to them. Some had had the painful experience of losing a friend or relative to teen suicide. I will never forget that movie or the materials for it.
In fact, I still have it in my scrapbook.
As my homies Public Enemy told us back in the day, if you hear something that doesn’t exactly sound right, “don’t believe the hype!” Investigate it for yourself first! Don’t allow a few bullies with hidden agendas and padded bank accounts pull you into a discussion that doesn’t exist. It is a waste of time and mainly cooked up to further thwart the real conversation about universal health care for the milions in this country who have very little or no health insurance at all.
To pull children out of school over something that could stimulate their intellectual growth is preposterous!
And by the way, did you know that Soylent Green is made out of people? LOL!
Love that movie!
