I first posted about the Tea Party vacation liberty school a few days ago. If you haven't read that post do so now, and come back.
When I read about the curriculum that was being taught at these "schools" I was horrified at the nature of the lessons. It got me thinking, not only about propaganda but about the most famous user of it. I realize that this might be considered inflammatory, I just want to make you think.
I have found some striking parallels between the Tea party school and the Hitler youth.
The age of children being "taught" in the Tea party school is 8-15 The Hitler youth programs targeted children ages 10-17.
This is the prime age for teaching children a way of thinking. They are willing to please and very receptive, as they have not fully developed their own belief system yet.
The Tea party school is teaching kids that America was always right and is a perfect nation. The Hitler youth were taught the same thing. People who said anything negative about Germany were called "unpatriotic". This should sound familiar, Fox news does this a lot.
Hitler approved teachers were told to downplay German defeat and place the blame on someone else . This is what is being taught at the Liberty school. Kids are taken into a crowded room and told to navigate stacked chairs to get to the gym (America) where everything is fun and perfect. If you never have to share.
The more I look into this Liberty school the more frightened I become. The whole point of the Hitler youth was to create an army loyal to Hitler and his ideas. It is the same with this Liberty school. Sharing is not communism, it's nice. I am sure most parents take their kids to the park because there is plenty of swings for the kids to take turns on. These Tea party people are teaching kids that every kid needs his own personal swing set to be happy.
What oh God will happen to us as a nation if this type of indoctrination takes hold. What will these kids teach their children and so on.
People all throughout Glenn Beck's 9-12 project have one victories against teaching a comprehensive view of history.
America is not perfect, and it is not UN-American to say so. To vilify a president who had a policy you didn't like, is dangerous. It is also ignorant. Our founding fathers were not saints, and all democratic presidents are not demons.
