Propaganda and Our Youth!

The other day I had the occasion to have the "idiot box" grab my attention. True to form it didn't disappoint! There for all the world to see on national TV were two young women from the University of Pittsburgh. They were being interviewed about their role as protesters upset with the leaders of the G-20 summit, being held in Pittsburgh last week. These young ladies appeared to be in their mid to late 20's, so they were well into their education, and if I recall correctly mentioned they we graduate students. So get this....

When asked exactly what they were upset about, these young women replied it was capitalism and the greed it created. They went on to explain how if the top 1%, who control most of the wealth world wide, were made to redistribute their fortunes, every person would have a $44,000.00 a year income. Then came the part where I knew they weren't math majors....She went on to explain that would create a $250,000.00 income for a family of four, and any family should be able to live a wonderful existence on that. It was pretty apparent that some liberal professor had fed them propaganda they never bothered to fact check, as any questioning from that point on went into textbook Saul Alinsky style subject changing. The math not withstanding, I would have loved to ask her what the incentive would be for the top 1% to regenerate that wealth so that same income could be redistributed again the following year? They stood there all doe eyed reciting like parrots some philosophy a radical mentor had implanted.

After the segment I dropped to my knees and thanked the Lord my boys were not this gullible, and misinformed I also prayed for their parents who were obviously financing this folly, likely to the tune of 40k/year. So that begged the question- How does this happen? I've read that the philosophy's taught to our youth will become the policies of the next generation. After reminding myself of this I again hit the floor and prayed to be reaping my reward in the afterlife before this came to be. The positive side is I'm becoming much closer with my creator over all of this!

In the event that doesn't come to fruition, and the man upstairs has other plans for me, I went with plan "B". Where does this foolishness begin, and how do our youth come to these conclusions? We all know youth is impressionable. Most children spend the bulk of their day outside your influence, I.E. public school. Somewhere between 6 to 8 hours of kids 24 hour time cycle, five days a week, is spent with a stranger. A stranger who's income is defined by the Government and a left leaning teacher's union. I've done many posts describing how the unions are in bed with some very radical left wing organizations, one of the stronger left leaning organizations is the Tides Foundation. Many of their advisors and board members share upper level management positions with both the unions and the foundation. Tides produced this video and recommended it be used as a teaching tool in our school system, and it has....

Please take the time to watch this. Then have your school age children view portions of it, and ask them if they've ever seen it. If they have, you need to do some damage control. It's filled with half truths, and flat out lies. It's accompanied with a test, and literature, to insure the message was absorbed. Should your children be victims of this propaganda, raise the roof. Consult the teacher, principle, and the school board. Insist they understand this is not acceptable! You'd be amazed how many parents have found out their children have seen this multiple times in school.

If that's not enough to fire you up try this little ditty some elementary school children were taught...
