Obama Brainwashes Vulnerable Children’s Minds: Ann Woolner
Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- At the moment President Barack Obama strode to the podium in Arlington, Virginia, yesterday, fifth- graders watching from M. Agnes Jones Elementary School in Atlanta clapped their hands and cheered with glee.

The indoctrination was about to begin.

Actually, it started before the president’s speech. Some of the teachers had been priming their students with (get this!) lesson plans.

And while I saw no sign-up booths for the Socialist Workers Party and heard no singing of Solidarity Forever, it was unmistakably clear at this school that the teachers had completely bought into the president’s propaganda.

Evidence of the brainwashing showed up when teacher Veronica Seville directed her students to set goals according to categories that Obama would mention in his speech.

“What kind of goals for community service?” Seville asked her students.

Hands all over the room shot up from these future community organizers. Seville called on a girl.

“Help your elders,” she said.

Why do that, the teacher wanted to know?

“Because some people don’t have money,” came the answer.

Socialism, here we come!

“Because you might need help when you get old,” offered another student.

You might need help dying is what the kid meant. And if you do, Obama’s your man.
