Hypothetically, if we were to have a Democratic Underground Summer Camp for kids
2 weeks in the summer. Call it whatever, maybe the FDR Future Leader's camp - obviously and unabashedly liberal. Maybe teach some details that were ommitted from their life textbooks?
Maybe just take 5th and 10th graders, or all comers in an age range? Would have to be sure and get a good cross section of incomes).
What would a good curriculum look like? Books?
Do such opportunities exist already?
(Thinking about something like that for unemployed adults, but that's another post).

As if they aren't brainwashed enough in public schools.

3. Great idea!
There are plenty of "leadership camps" out there, but I am not aware of any specifically progressive empowerment indoctrination camps. Think of all the breakout session opportunities! We need a think tank about this, jtuck004.
FIFY DUmmie.

Yeah, give them all DU shirts to wear so everyone else knows which parents to avoid. :rotf:

Will you DUmmies tell them why you felt they were expendable while in the womb? Will you tell those that might do something with their lives why you think you have a right to leech off of them? Will you instruct them in how to be tolerant of only that which you approve of?

Why do people that can't handle their own lives want to control mine?

Boy Scout Camp, Girl Scout Camp, JROTC Camp....oops wrong type of training...I'm sorry DUmmies...I momentarily forgot you were looking for Loser Camp.

There used to be a communist camp for kids in Canada, Camp Naivelt. Maybe it's still there.

What is Camp Naivelt?
Camp Naivelt is a family-oriented, secular Jewish summer community glued together with humanistic, pluralistic and progressive values. Located on 50 forested acres, unzer zumer haym (our summer home) is nestled in a picturesque spot on the banks of the Credit River in sunny Brampton, Ontario. Camp Naivelt is rich not only in natural beauty, but also in social and cultural history.

Political and cultural history
Camp Naivelt (meaning "New World" in Yiddish) was essentially a volunteer, summer, youth camp for Jewish working class families. It was referred to as a "Worker's Children Camp" and promoted Jewish culture and leftist political ideals. The Camp was described as:
reflecting a secular, non-Zionist, socialist perspective. It was a community of like-minded, working class people, largely in the needle-trade. There were people who were active in union affairs and, yes, there were people who followed the Communist line.
A radical, Communist element was always part of the Park's early history. Canadian Communist Party leader Tim Buck sometimes spoke there. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police monitored activities and goings-on there from time to time through the late 1940s and 1950s. The Mounties were known to 'stake out' the park entrance, recording license plate numbers of those entering for public events.[citation needed]

Sounds like a kibbutz.
A commune by any other name is still a commune.

The parallels between 1930s Nazi Germany and the Duchebags is astounding.
I love the way they keep proving the axiom of "Scratch a Liberal, find a fascist."

If we're lucky that would be the nickname that history bestows upon it. :fuelfire:

And NAMBLA has already flooded jtuck004 with their resume' for camp counselors.

Sounds more like Young Pioneers than Hitler Youth. Hitler Youth at least did fun stuff, like shooting guns, orienteering, and wargames. This thing would be two weeks of solid ideology, like a Nork POW camp circa 1951. I'll bet Pitt could be persuaded to be a counselor for one part of the older bunch...
