This is getting really freaky.
Dear Leader gets 15 page spread in 2008 children's textbooks.
This isn't teaching, it's indoctrination!
The hard Left is already pumping out massive Obama indoctrination material in 8th grade textbooks.

Maybe this was part of the Bill Ayers education plan?
8th grade students in Racine, Wisconsin are now using textbooks that contain a 15 page section on Barack Obama.
Note: No Hillary, No McCain, No Palin, No Bush... Just Obama!

This is beyond freaky.
Real Debate Wisconsin reported:


My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.

I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an www.obama2004.com sign.

Now I understand that many teachers are liberals, but does the school have the right to shove Obama down our kid's throats? All the kids grouped together and read the story. After that, they discussed it... I guess it appears that Obama is planning ahead. If he doesn't get his coveted Presidency, Obama is going to make sure, that the younger generations know all about him, and his "life of service".

If you would like to see the 15 page story on Obama, it appears that you can order this book online. There is a note in the book that says, For more on Barack Obama, visit the Literature Center at www.ClassZone.com The book is: Wisconsin - 8th grade - McDougal Littell Literature - copyright 2008. The Obama story starts on page 830. I hope you will take the time to look at this book. I'm really angry about this - In fact, I would love to rip the pages right out of this book.

I got a 13 year old in the Boy Scouts. Will they be converted to the "Obama Youth"?

A link to the book....unfriggin' believable

[docstew]

sounds like a school board just has too much money on their hands and is asking for a lawsuit.  and how is this appropriate in a literature book?  i would be hard pressed to find it appropriate in a civics or history book, but literature?  his scribblings are barely coherent most of the time.

[JohnnyReb]

I think that section on Obama could be found under any of several headings, like, drama,  comedy, greek tragedy, etc..

Damn !!!!! I always hurt myself when I try to think like a DUmmie.

After the NAFTA Anschluss, when we bring the Canadian and Mexican provinces into the Reich.

Of course not.  Why do you think we teach them to shoot guns and use bows and arrows?

Fortunately, the Scouts are a private organization.  They don't answer to the government.

Of course, depending upon how much insidiousness you wish to impart upon the left (I've never found an upper limit, myself) you could certainly hypothesize that the Obamessiah might either nationalize the scouts, or form his own analogous orgainzation, forcibly draft all young people of a certain age into it, and then disband the Scouts.

The frightening thing is that, while if I am to be honest neither of these ideas seem likely to me, they are certainly within the realm of possibiliity.

They should at least include the others in the book.

I bet you had to gag yourself to say that Lanie, undisguised liberal that you are. 

[EastFacingNorth]

They shouldn't include ANY of them in the book.  It's a Lit book for eighth graders.  Politics of any sort has no place in that classroom.

But we just HAVE to make our new "social revolutionaries"!!! /Bill Ayers mode
