Bully Teacher to Student: It’s Criminal to Criticize Obama (Video/Audio)

Posted by FactReal on May 21, 2012

The bully: Teacher Tanya Dixon-Neely
The school: North Rowan High School in Spencer, North Carolina
Via Breitbart.com:

The video shows a classroom discussion about the Washington Post hit piece about Mitt Romney bullying a kid some five decades ago. One student says, “Didn’t Obama bully someone though?” The teacher says: “Not to my knowledge.” The student then cites the fact that Obama, in Dreams from My Father, admits to shoving a little girl. “Stop, no, because there is no comparison,” screams the teacher. Romney is “running for president. Obama is the president.”

The student responds that both are “just men.”

The teacher…continues, “let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom.” …The teacher then tells the student – wrongly – that it is a criminal offense to say bad things about a president.

Latest: The teacher has been suspended WITH PAY (= paid vacations)

TX Kindergarteners Forced to Sing: “Obama…He’s Our Man, Yes We Can!”

Posted by FactReal on February 16, 2012

The Blaze reported (H/t USA Today):
Kindergarteners at a Texas elementary school were sent home with lyrics to a pro-President Barack Obama song that included such lines as “Barack Obama is the man” and “He’s our man, yes we can!”

The song, part of a Black History Month program, was forwarded from a parent at Tipps Elementary School in Houston to Joe “Pags” Pagliarulo, a nationally syndicated radio host and frequent fill-in for Glenn Beck. Included with the lyrics was an apparent memo to kindergarten teachers that said kindergarteners would be “required” to learn the chant for the program [all spelling errors below are original]:

Team:

Attached is a chant about President Barack Obama.  All Kindergarteners will be required to learn the chant for the Black History program.  Please write how many you will need.  Keep one copy to practice with students at school.

Thanks,
Mary Stovall

State Agents Inspecting Our Child’s Lunch Boxes

Posted by FactReal on February 15, 2012

FOOD POLICE SUBVERTING OUR PARENTAL RIGHTS…
…While they gorge themselves.
Carolina Journal reported:
RAEFORD — A preschooler at West Hoke Elementary School ate three chicken nuggets for lunch Jan. 30 because a state employee told her the lunch her mother packed was not nutritious.

The girl’s turkey and cheese sandwich, banana, potato chips, and apple juice did not meet U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines, according to the interpretation of the agent who was inspecting all lunch boxes in her More at Four classroom that day.

The Division of Child Development and Early Education at the Department of Health and Human Services requires all lunches served in pre-kindergarten programs — including in-home day care centers — to meet USDA guidelines. That means lunches must consist of one serving of meat, one serving of milk, one serving of grain, and two servings of fruit or vegetables, even if the lunches are brought from home.

When home-packed lunches do not include all of the required items, child care providers must supplement them with the missing ones.

The girl’s mother — who said she wishes to remain anonymous to protect her daughter from retaliation — said she received a note from the school stating that students who did not bring a “healthy lunch” would be offered the missing portions, which could result in a fee from the cafeteria, in her case $1.25.

“I don’t feel that I should pay for a cafeteria lunch when I provide lunch for her from home,” the mother wrote in a complaint to her state representative, Republican G.L. Pridgen of Robeson County.

[...]

“If a parent sends their child with a Coke and a Twinkie, the child care provider is going to need to provide a balanced lunch for the child,” Kozlowski said.

Ultimately, the child care provider can’t take the Coke and Twinkie away from the child, but Kozlowski said she “would think the Pre-K provider would talk with the parent about that not being a healthy choice for their child.

Wasted food:

When the school forces a “healthy” lunch on a kid, it doesn’t take away the lunch that mom packed. The child could, if he/she is hungry enough, presumably eat both, which is an … interesting strategy for reducing child obesity. And of course, the final punchline: The little girl in this case still didn’t end up eating any vegetables despite having two lunches in front of her, which, of course, is why mom didn’t bother packing any veggies in the first place. So we end up not only with a bunch of wasted food but with a kid who didn’t get the basic nutrition that her mother’s own meal would have provided her. Perfecto.

Other Case
A Caller from N. Carolina to Rush Limbaugh:

CALLER: About eight months ago my wife and I decided to enroll our son in daycare here in North Carolina, and I got this huge packet of sheets that I had to fill out, and they, you know, field trip permission slip, take your photo permission slip, and one of them was, “By signing this you agree that you’ll meet the state’s requirements for a preschool lunch,” even though I’m packing it. And it says I have to have six ounces of milk or a milk substitute, four ounces of meat or a meat substitute, three ounces of grain, three ounces of vegetable, three ounces of fruit, and goes on and on and on. And I did not sign it and I fought about it with them and they pointed me to the state official that I could talk to, and they told me that, “If your son doesn’t like milk just pack it anyway and we’ll dump it out for you and then you can pack something else.” And I said, “Do you know how much a gallon of milk costs?” And they said, “Well, that’s the rules and you have to follow ‘em if you want to be in daycare.” So now I’ve got the government telling me that I’m not smart enough to feed my own child.

10,000 Students to be Used for Michelle Obama’s Event in Des Moines, Iowa

Posted by FactReal on February 9, 2012

MICHELLE OBAMA PARENTING OUR KIDS
What if President Bush had used students the same way? That is, take kids from school and mobilize them to events where he would use them as props and force them to exercise to advance one of his agenda items.
Read report via CBS/AP: 10,000 Students to be Bused in for Michelle Obama’s Exercise Event.
Let’s not forget about the Obamas’ love affair with junk food:
(Click image to enlarge them)

It is well-documented that the Obamas enjoy eating junk food

But now they want to control what we eat and what we do with our bodies.

Michelle Obama, her daughter Sasha, and a large entourage stayed at a high-posh golf and spa resort and feasted on cured ham, assorted cheeses, and other typical Spanish fine cuisine while vacationing in Marbella, Spain, in August 2010. Meanwhile, Barack Obama was lecturing Americans about frugality in lean economic times.

WISCONSIN 4th Graders Led by Teacher into Protest Against GOP Gov. Scott Walker

Posted by FactReal on November 5, 2011

CREATING THE ‘OCCUPIERS’ OF THE FUTURE
(click image for video)
Fox6 reported on Nov. 3, 2011:
Every weekday at noon, the “Solidarity Singers” gather around the Capitol Rotunda to vocalize their displeasure with Governor Walker’s agenda. [...]

On a Tuesday in late September, FOX6 watched as elementary school children were led into the middle of the protest, and encouraged to clap and sing along.

According to [Solidarity Song Leader Chris] Reeder, it’s not the first time this has happened.

“When they are here, we do try to sing ‘This Land Is Your Land’ or ‘If I Had A Hammer,’ things they might be familiar with that are a little less political, so they would feel welcome to come into the circle,” Reeder said.

However, the protesters’ rendition of “This Land Is Your Land” includes a controversial verse that’s almost never sung in schools.

That verse is: “And on that sign it said, private property, but on the other side, it didn’t say nothing. That sign was made for you and me.”

The rendition also includes a final verse, aimed directly at the governor.

That verse is: “Scott Walker will never push us out! This house was made for you and me.” [...]

“School children should not be a part of any political protest,” Rep. Voss (R-Burlington) said.

The incident left FOX6 with a number of questions, like, who’s idea was this? Did the school district know anything about it? Did anyone tell the parents?…The students were on a field trip from Portage, located about 40 minutes north of Madison. Portage Superintendent Charles Poches didn’t want to talk about what happened.

He declined to go on camera, and refused to identify staff members in the video.

In fact, Poches didn’t even want to see the video…Had he watched the FOX6 video, he would’ve seen one of the protesters talking to a fourth-grade teacher.

In the video, just a moment later, the same protester appears to let the song-leader in on his plan, and in a matter of seconds, the students are led into the circle, as their teacher watches, with no objection. [...]

An hour after FOX6′s first conversation with Portage Superintendent Poches, Poches called back, and acknowledged that students did take part in the sing-along.

Obama’s Student Loans…& his Debt Collectors Plan to Harass Students

Posted by FactReal on October 28, 2011

OBAMA WANTS TO BUY YOUTH VOTE
WITH STUDENT LOAN BAILOUT

Obama wants to get re-elected and he needs uninformed and impressionable Americans to vote for him. So he is targeting college students.

Obama’ student loan bailout is just to get the youth vote: “Obama is outlining a plan to allow millions of student loan recipients to lower their payments and consolidate their loans…Young voters were an important bloc in Obama’s 2008 campaign, and student loan debt is a common concern among Occupy Wall Street protesters.”

'Occupy Wall Street' protesters want taxpayers to pay for their education

OBAMA WANTS TAXPAYERS TO PAY FOR STUDENT LOANS
Obama’s student bailout plan is to buy the votes of college students…with taxpayer dollars, of course.

It is unfair to forgive student loans on the backs of waitresses and construction workers and the nearly three-quarters of Americans who didn’t graduate college. Increases in federal subsidies or student loan bailouts shift the burden of paying for college from the student—the person directly benefiting from college—to the millions of Americans who did not graduate from college.”

It also penalizes the taxpayers who have worked hard to pay off their own student loan debt—and who are still making payments—by having to pay off the student loan debt of those who took out more of a loan burden than they could handle, in some cases, to earn a degrees of questionable market value.”

OBAMA WANTS DEBT COLLECTORS TO GO AFTER STUDENTS
Obama offers student loan giveaway…while pushing plan to send debt collectors to harass students:
[W]hile Obama is out announcing these new student loan rules that make you think that he’s relaxing your repayment, remember that Obama asked Congress to make it easier for private debt collectors to get your cell phone number to track you down in case you are delinquent in repaying your student loan if you owe it to the government, and the odds are you do since they took over the industry
Obama wants debt collectors to harass students:
President Barack Obama wants Congress to make it easier for private debt collectors to call the cellphones of consumers delinquent on student loans and other billions owed the federal government.

…The little-noticed recommendation would apply only to cases in which money is owed the government, and is tucked into the mammoth $3 trillion deficit-reduction plan the president submitted to Congress. [...]

Enabling robo-calls (to cellphones) is just going to lead to more harassment and abuse, and it’s not going to help the government collect more money,” said Lauren Saunders of the Boston-based National Consumer Law Center. “People aren’t paying their student loans because they can’t find a job.”

Whatever the impact on the budget deficit, the proposal has aligned the [Obama] White House with the private debt collection industry — frequently the subject of consumer complaints — at a time when the economy is weak, unemployment is high and Obama is embarking on his campaign for re-election. [...]

A different federal agency, the Federal Trade Commission, collects extensive records about the private debt collection industry in general.

“The FTC receives more complaints about the debt collection industry than any other specific industry,” according to an annual report to Congress, more than 100,000 in 2010.

The complaints fall into several categories, citing alleged harassment, demands for impermissibly large payments, failure to provide required consumer notice and threatening dire consequences such as jail time.

Shouldn't these OWS protesters be targeting Big University for their outrageous cost of college tuitions? (How much money did he waste on that stupid disguise?)

WHAT ARE THEY TEACHING OUR KIDS?
This report from America Times:
GLOBAL WARMING INDOCTRINATION DISGUISED AS “WALKING TO SCHOOL”
Hialeah participated in the International Walk to School Day on October 3, 2007:
Cuba is also participating in the International Walk to School Day
From the International Walk to School – Official Website: http://www.iwalktoschool.org/

Elementary School Camilo Cienfuegos in Puerto Padre, Las Tunas, Cuba
http://www.iwalktoschool.org/photos/pubdetail.cfm?picid=2031

Elementary School in Santiago de Cuba, Cuba
http://www.iwalktoschool.org/photos/pubdetail.cfm?picid=2044
WHAT’S THEIR REAL AGENDA
These seemingly innocent events are part of a global program from the International Walk to School Day. According to their official website (http://www.iwalktoschool.org/about.htm) one of their tops goals are to “raise concern for the environment.” By now we know that is code word for global warming indoctrination.

America Times explains:

Let’s look beyond their noble smokescreens
Their second goal is to “raise concern for the environment” (in other words: to inculcate our kids with man-made global warming) and to “reduce traffic congestion, pollution” (we know how much environmentalists hate our cars and the freedom they give us). One question remains, what will they do with the criminals, pedophiles, and drug dealers on the streets? Oh, yes, they say that by walking to school, they will “reduce crime.” According to them, these types of events also provide “valuable time with local community leaders” which means a great opportunity for politicians to impress future voters and to slowly take away parental responsibility.
Pushing Global Warming
They recommend these Classroom Activities on their site http://www.walktoschool.org/eventideas/classroom.cfm [...] http://www.saferoutestoschools.org/lessonplans.shtml
Environmental Lesson Plans
Family Mouse Behind the Wheel (Grades K-2) is a fable with an environmental message. When the forest creatures vote to develop their home in the name of progress they wind up in gridlock. They learn their lesson though, and abandon their automobiles in favor of preserving their forest home in it’s natural state. Download the pdf.

Greenhouse in a Bottle (Grades 5 and 6) is a hands on science project or can be set up as a demonstration. Students work in teams to simulate the earth’s environment; doing a comparison and contrast of a pre and post-greenhouse atmosphere. After the class sets up the experiment, while waiting for the results, we have an opportunity to discuss how cars and non-renewable energy affects the environment. Download the pdf.
