“We must remember that religion is a universal sentiment which is inside everybody and has been inside every person since the beginning of the world. It is not something which we must give to the child” ~ Maria Montessori
The latest from the Liberator Online:
“Public schools are government-established, politician- and bureaucrat-controlled, fully politicized, taxpayer-supported, authoritarian socialist institutions. In fact, the public-school system is one of the purest examples of socialism existing in America…“If freedom is to survive in America, it will be necessary to eliminate the psychologically crippling and mentally debilitating authoritarian socialist public-school system that inevitably inflicts upon all of its students a long and thorough indoctrination in authoritarianism and convinces them that government force is a valid and necessary means to achieve virtually any desired ends. “This must be replaced with a system involving freedom and democracy; that is, a system of individual choice known as free enterprise in which students would actually be genuine customers, patronizing genuine education businesses.” ~ Thomas L. Johnson, professor emeritus of biological sciences at the University of Mary Washington. From an op-ed in the September 26, 2004, issue of The Free Lance-Star.

In December 2005, The Virginia Family Foundation distributed an email titled ‘Information Alert: VEA pushes homosexual agenda in schools’, the FF goes on to say “the Virginia Education Association (VEA), the Virginia component of the National Education Association, had as one of its ten legislative goals for 2005 the repeal of the Marriage Affirmation Act, HB751.”
Last week, The Family Foundation warned, “The VEA is now exposed for what it accurately is – a condensed version of the left-wing National Education Association. The VEA has moved outside of the academic realm and is now working to redefine marriage for American families. Action needs to be taken to confine the VEA to its educational sphere and to prevent it from meddling in social issues.”
Blue Dog Note: It’s going to be interesting to see who will be denied VEA contributions, or the support of the Family Foundation in the 2005 election based on a single social issue — Gay Marriages. So, due to liberal and conservative socially-engineered contributions, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that while hard work and knowledge will get you close, and attitude will get you there, it’s the special interests questionnaires that will put you in the General Assembly.
It’s not a case of ‘old school’, but ‘new math’ — Don’t you agree?
