Indoctrination Fridays: Curriculum Teaches Kindergartners to Unionizeby Kyle OlsonThis is one part of a running series entitled “Indoctrination Fridays,†a weekly review of leftist propaganda incorporated into public school curriculum, much geared towards elementary students. For more of the series, please visit PublicSchoolSpending.com.In typical union and socialist propaganda, employers are depicted as cruel and uncaring business owners who never miss an opportunity to cheat and mistreat workers.Big Labor’s “us versus them†worldview is so entrenched that they can’t recognize the fact that most successful companies value their employees, and do whatever they can to retain their best workers. That reality, of course, undercuts the relevance of unions.So what’s a union to do?Like their fellow travelers in the “man-made†global warming community, the unions know they have to indoctrinate the young with their propaganda. But when you’re dealing with kindergartners, you have to insert the concept of unionizing subtly into lessons. You’ll get blank stares if you talk about the virtues of Jimmy Hoffa or the Service Employees International Union.The California Federation of Teachers produced the perfect solution with “Trouble in the Hen House: A Puppet Show.†To spare you the unpleasantness of reading this bilge, here’s the basic plot: a bunch of hens feel “oppressed†by the farmer, so they band together and create Hens United. The angry unionized chickens are too powerful a force for the farmer to handle, so he capitulates to the hens’ demands. Here’s a key excerpt:Henrietta (the hen): Farmer Brown, we have something to say. This is what we chickens want:1. More and better food. No mold, no sand in our corn.2. Freedom to walk around outside and a bigger hen house.3. Each hen will lay an average of four eggs a week.4. Stop punishing us. Let Hortensia come back.Farmer: No way! Who ever heard of chickens telling the farmer what to do? Shut up and get back to the henhouse!Chickens: No, Farmer Brown, not this time! And besides those things, you have to recognize our union, Hens United, or we’ll all stop laying eggs!Farmer: OK, OK, if I have no eggs to sell, I’ll go bankrupt. We’d all starve, so I guess I’ll have to do what you say. Since you’re all together, what can I do?Chickens: We won! We stuck together and we won! Si, Se puede.*
