The Principal-in-Chief speaks to ‘His’ Children Tomorrow

I read the nearly 2,500 word prepared back to school speech which the White House released today and will present to students in classrooms across America tomorrow. I also read an insightful article, “Obama: First Father, Chief Principal, and Head Psychologist,” written by Dr. Herbert W. Titus.

Here are a few comments about the upcoming speech and the article mentioned above. In the speech the President states, “(Y)our government’s responsibility for setting high standards, supporting teachers and principals, and turning around schools that aren’t working where students aren’t getting the opportunities they deserve.” The federal government has assumed a role that the U.S. Constitution does not authorize. Education is NOT the role of the federal government. It is primarily the individual school districts and parents responsibility. Through the years the federal government has usurped more and more ‘responsibility’ for what amounts to indoctrinating our children. The graduation rate and test results are woeful in comparison to other industrialized nations. Why? The ineffective curriculum subverted by the leftist political-oriented teachers unions and the incompetent heavily layered bureaucratic federal and state departments of education. The real solution is return local authority to schools and parents, end union monopolization and encourage school vouchers and alternative teaching venues in place of the worst government-run schools.

Reading between the lines, our leftist president subtly pushes his beloved homosexual agenda with these words, “Maybe you’ll decide to stand up for kids who are being teased or bullied because of who they are or how they look, because you believe, like I do, that all kids deserve a safe environment to study and learn." “Teased or bullied because of who they are” is code for homosexual and other alternative lifestyles, which his administration and the leftist teachers unions continue to force on the education system and on the unsuspecting children of America. They are more concerned in placating this tiny moneyed minority than they are in educating our children.

The most egregious, arrogant and egotistical remarks that the President will make tomorrow is this, “I’m working hard to fix up your classrooms and get you the books, equipment and computers you need to learn.” What about the taxpayer, Mr. President? You seem to be expert in spending other peoples’ money. You cannot even acknowledge the source of the funding you so willingly, so lavishly, so wastefully with little or no accountability dole out to favorite leftist political cronies and causes. Who messed up the classrooms in the first place, Mr. President? It was the godless secular humanists who threw God and the Judeo-Christian Bible out of the schools in the 1960s and replaced it with a secular humanistic state religion. The results include falling grades, Columbine, increase in drug usage, gangs, lack of morality and virtue. I hate to inform you, sir, you cannot replace God no matter how wise and enlightened you may think you are.

There are a few things the President does say in his wordy speech about responsibility, goals and working hard, but that does not take two thousand words to say. The money spent on making that broadcast happen could be much better used in providing school vouchers or returning money to individual schools to use where needed most. I am afraid your propagandized pep talk isn’t really needed. It will merely put the kids to sleep.

One of the best quotes from the Herb Titus article mentioned above is, “Increasingly the hallmark of the Obama presidency is that nothing is outside of his official authority as President of the United States. From the car business to health care, and from the Cambridge, Massachusetts, police department to a Florida lady’s desperate need of food, clothing and housing, President Obama has assumed the role of president as busybody.” Well put, the President is sticking his nose into places he does not belong. Meddling with the free market in banking, housing, car manufacturing, energy, healthcare and now education.

One final quote from Dr. Titus, “Under the tutelage of this President’s totalitarian vision of his office, the educational bureaucrats will not stop with their political agenda, but will do everything in their power to impose their secular irreligious beliefs upon the hearts and minds of the children in violation of the First Amendment’s prohibition against an establishment of religion.” As I stated earlier the religion, the creed of Secular Humanism and its amoral principles has replaced Christianity and its moral principles. The president is a avid proponent and a leading evangelist of Secular Humanist doctrine and indoctrination. This may be his first foray into the schools, but don’t expect it to be his last. He is, or at least acts like he is now the Principal-in-Chief along with CEO of GM along with being the media’s chose messiah . . .
