‘Dear Mr. Obama,’ Why are our Kids so Brainwashed?
Posted on December 27, 2008
-By Warner Todd Huston
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has launched a wonderful little feature that will run until Barack Obama takes the oath of office next month. They are calling it “Dear Mr. Obama” and it is a heartwarming exercise in child indoctrination and brainwashing. The Post-Gazette will be publishing letters from local students to Obama asking him for all sorts of global warming fixes, Iraq war enders, and big government programs.
Sadly, it appears that the government schools these kids have been subjected to have failed to teach their charges about anything like the American system, federalism, even science seems neglected. But they SURE taught their kiddies that government is there to spend, spend, spend, that government is to be treated like our collective parents, and that the war in Iraq is obviously an evil venture. Obviously.
And, yes little kiddies, The One, your very own Obamessiah, is flying to the rescue like a super hero. Cue the theme music — I’d suggest the theme to 2001, like Elvis used, is appropriate for the sentiment here. The Obamessiah has entered the building!
The tykes are all about the alternative energy these days. They are full of exhortations to The One that he should force upon us all a reliance on wind power and solar cells. Obviously these youngsters have not been taught that no alternative energy source has thus far been found that is cheaper than oil and the fossil fuels. These kids are under the illusion that just instituting a government program is all it takes to overcome the science of the matter and make them cost effective and feasible. Yes, all we need is a word from our new religious icon in Washington DC cum Obamalot.
The first letter was amusing for its complete fraud. It is supposed to be from a ten-year-old child, yet it talks about alternative energy, the war in “Irak” and lays out a fairly detailed idea for a new method of education. It is painfully obvious that no ten-year-old ever wrote this letter.
Also we see little Neil Pandya, age 10, who asked Obama to lower the age limit on driving. Apparently, Neil was not told that states are supposed to legislate that restriction, not the federal government. Sadly, states’ rights is not a subject taught to our young Mr. Pandya.
Several of the children are worried about mythical man-made, global warming and have been indoctrinated that Obama can control such things from the Mount Olympus of Washington. Here, for instance, are the worries of little Anna Devinney.
The first one is pollution. A lot of animals are dying because of pollution. Fish are dying from garbage being dumped into their habitat. People are dumping barrels of toxins into the oceans and many sea animals are losing food.
Another problem in the U.S. is global warming. In the future, all the land will be flooded with water because the icebergs are melting and the sea level is rising.
To be so misled by one’s teachers is so disheartening.
The thing we can take from this is that who ever said kid’s can’t learn is way off base. Unfortunately, what they are learning is a thorough left-wing agenda. To paraphrase a famous saying, it isn’t that our kids don’t know anything. It’s that what they know is all wrong.
Unfortunately, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, thinking it’s cute, is all too willing to display for all to see what a failed education looks like.

My child isn’t subject to this liberal nonsense. The school I send my child to has religion, American history, and real science. It has mathetatics, art, phy ed and even Catholic catechism.
I pity those fools who send their children to libtard incubators.
Try employing a recent graduate of the public school system anywhere in the USA. They know everything there is to know about celebrities, but nothing about literature, philosophy, economics, or mathematics. They all believe in Global Warming, but use a quote from Shakespeare to make a point and you get the gape-mouthed fish in the boat look. “Huh?” “What dat, dog?”
I should point out that it is my business to convince business owners and officers that they must outsource all functions requiring math, engineering, etc. due to the inferior education provided by public schools in the United States. Of course, we are shipping the jobs to countries where the kids learn Calculus using 40 year old surplus lead pencils and tissue thin paper with dim Edison corporation bulbs hanging bare from exposed wires!
Here in the States, we can’t teach kids the concept of fractions using 5000$ computers, special software, Internet access, and 50 administrators per school each earning 6 figures! The next time you hear about a major company moving jobs to India or China, thank a public school official! All of that great tolerance education and Black History Month, Gay-Lesbian-Transgendered Studies Month, and global warming nonsense has prepared our workforce to be completely unemployable!
Groan. It’s going to be a long four years, what with the sunlight gleaming off of The One’s Sacred Pectorals and all this stupid think from American kids, too.
I send my kids to a libtard incubator – but I supplement their education at home, things they will never learn in the institutions of greater indoctrination: Math, science, SPELLING AND GRAMMAR, history, and *gasp* politics.
I did homeschooling once – that decision followed by continued intrusion in our lives by *gag* Child “Protective” Services. So I now give them a “bone,” send them to public school, but I deliberately subvert their practice of malpractice in education. My kids still pay the price, though. My 13-yo was asked to “leave” the discussion and sit in the hall when he gave a rather “informed” opinion on the 2008 election. My 17-yo was “conveniently” expelled for 90 days after distributing obviously illicit information, a bull**** excuse given as justification; so now he gets a full-time REAL education. Our 7-yo comes home and sees me blogging about Obama and tells me how “wonderful” he is – THE KID IS SEVEN, HOW WOULD SHE KNOW? “My teacher said…”
We know this won’t have a pretty ending, right?
