Another reason why people should consider home-schooling
We as parents and taxpayers often do not know what is actually being taught in our schools until items like this pop up onto the radar school - most often by sheer accident.
A child's story - "Trees belong to Everyone"
Let's see:
- Teaching grade school kids with political/enviro-pap - check!
- Disparaging the Rule of Law - check!
- Dismissing the philosophy of Due Process - check!
- Overbearing government - check!
- Denigration of the Right to Private Property - check!
Yup, this is what is being taught in schools under the guise of a simple children's story book.
Hey parents - time to start asking the hard questions of your kids. Better yet, start confronting the School Boards! While this happened in England, I can certainly see this happening here.
- Reading
- Writing
- 'Rithmatic
- Indoctrination
Yup, all there! Go read it for yourself at An Englishman's Castle!!!
H/T: RightWingNews - Van Helsing had this as a description:
Here's the plot: A nice old geezer has a tree in his yard, and he lets kids play in it. But then he sells the house, and the new owner decides to cut the tree down. So the kids climb up the tree and sing protest songs, with the encouragement of their parents. The owner calls the police, but soon the mayor arrives to confirm that trees belong to everyone. The mayor takes over the house and the children play in their communist tree happily ever after.
Needless to say, children raised on this evil garbage are going to be slow to grasp that property rights are the fundamental basis of free civilization.
