Indoctrination in Schools featured on Friday’s Beck Program, 4pm on Fox

On Friday, March 5th, (tomorrow) Glen Beck is going to have the entire show on what is being taught in the schools today. I think it is going to be worth watching to see how history is being rewritten to fit a progressive agenda.
For those of you not familiar with Glen Beck, his show is on Fox News at 4:00 Central Stand ard Time. Click for Beck on Fox Website

Heritage Foundation: For every $1 Spent on Abstinence, $12 is Spent Promoting Birth Control to Teens in America
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Abstinence/wm461.cfm
Fact: Government spends $12 to promote contraceptives for every $1 spent on abstinence. In 2002, the federal and state governments spent an estimated $1.73 billion on a wide variety of contraception-promotion and pregnancy-prevention programs. More than a third of that money ($653 million) was spent specifically to fund contraceptive programs for teens. In contrast, programs teaching teens to abstain from sexual activity received only an estimated $144.1 million in the same year. Overall, government spent $12.00 to promote contraception for every one dollar spent to encourage abstinence. If funding for teens alone is examined, government still spent $4.50 on promoting teen contraceptive use for every one dollar spent on teen abstinence.[6]

“ABC” stands for All Barack’s Children. On Sept. 8, young students across the country will be watching television. Yes, they’ll be parked in front of boob tubes and computer screens watching President Obama’s address on education.
Instead of practicing cursive, reviewing multiplication tables, diagramming sentences or learning something concrete, America’s kids will be lectured about the importance of learning. And then the schoolchildren, from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, will be exhorted to Do Something — other than sit in their seats and receive academic instruction, that is.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan dispatched letters to principals nationwide, boasting, “This is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nation’s schoolchildren about persisting and succeeding in school.” But the goal is not merely morale boosting. According to White House event-related guides developed by the U.S. Department of Education’s Teaching Fellows, grade-school students will be told to “listen to the speech” and “think about the following”: Read the rest of this entry »
