Florida Dad Furious After Finding His 4th Grade Son’s School Paper: “I Am Willing to Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights … to Be Safer”

READING , WRITING and INDOCTRINATION …

These public schools just do not give up on brainwashing the children of America. Pay really close attentions parents, because the next child being indoctrinated might just be yours. Why do many liberal educators so hate the freedoms provided in the US Constitution? Maybe some one should have stood up and told the teacher that, “FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE”!

Aaron Harvey, a Florida dad who’s 4th grade son attends the Cedar Hills Elementary in Jacksonville is furious because of a writing assignment given to his son and rightfully so. As reports at Yahoo News,  a local attorney came in to teach the students about the Bill of Rights. in January; however, after the attorney left, the fourth-grade teacher Cheryl Sabb dictated the following sentence to part of the class and had them copy it down … “I Am Willing to Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights … to Be Safer”. Really, why would a teacher pick giving up individual’s rights provided in the ‘Bill of Rights’to be the lesson of the day? Can you say liberal indoctrination? The question that needs to be answered is why should any of “WE THE PEOPLE” have to give up any of our Constitutional rights to be safer? But of course a 4th grader would never respond in that manner, thus the reason why a teacher would attempt to indoctrinate them at that age. At some point it needs to be made a criminal offense for teachers to bring their politics into the classroom. That would put an end to this nonsense.

The words are written in crayon, in the haphazard bumpiness of a child’s scrawl.

“I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.”

They’re the words that Florida father Aaron Harvey was stunned to find his fourth-grade son had written, after a lesson in school about the Constitution.

Florida 4th Grader Brings Home Paper That Says, I Am Willing to Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights in Order to Be Safer…

Aaron Harvey’s son wrote as part of a school lesson, “I am willing to give up some of my constitutional rights in order to be safer or more secure.” TheBlaze has redacted the child’s name.

Harvey’s son attends Cedar Hills Elementary in Jacksonville, Fla. Back in January, a local attorney came in to teach the students about the Bill of Rights. But after the attorney left, fourth-grade teacher Cheryl Sabb dictated the sentence to part of the class and had them copy it down, he said.

The following is rather telling. Kandra Albury, the spokesperson for  Duvall County Public Schools stated that the Cedar Hills principal received many concerns by parents back in January when the lesson was first done and the district/principal was looking into it. The spokesperson made an underhanded reference that Harvey was not one of the concerned parents who complained. Here it is April, 3 months later, and the school district has still not explained themselves. Maybe they will now that they have been outed in the media as the furious father went directly to The Blaze rather than getting the run-around and the story buried by the district.

Kandra Albury, a spokeswoman for Duvall County Public Schools, which includes Cedar Hills, told TheBlaze she didn’t know what prompted Sabb to have students write the sentence.

She said the principal had fielded one parent’s concern about the lesson in January, but it wasn’t Harvey. She said Thursday the district and principal were “checking into” what had happened.

UPDATE I: Florida School District Responds to Child’s ‘Give Up Some of My Constitutional Rights’ Assignment: ‘A Review and Investigation Will Occur’.

The problem is not what the attorney taught in providing civics to the youth. At issue is the liberal teacher who wants children to start thinking about what rights they would give up to so-called be safer.

The lesson taught by the attorney was part of Justice Teaching, a program started by former Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice R. Fred Lewis that puts legal professionals in Florida schools to teach about the American legal system and the Constitution.

“The Justice Teaching activity on constitutional rights that was conducted at Cedar Hills Elementary School is consistent with our efforts to broaden civics-based education and develop critical thinking skills among our students,” Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti, superintendent of Duval County Public Schools, said in a statement to TheBlaze. “The lesson builds awareness of First Amendment rights through a partnership with an association of local attorneys. Our possible concern rests with a follow-up activity that may have been conducted after the lesson. A review and investigation will occur to determine the facts of that assignment.”

Teachers Shouldn’t Use Red Colored Pens to Mark Students Homework Because It’s Like Shouting and Upsets Them

How on Earth are today’s kids going to be able to cope with any problems in the future. There in lies the rub, maybe they already can’t and explains the irrational fatal responses to dealing with issues and confrontation of today’s children.

Who in there life has not got a test or paper back in school marked up in read showing the misspelled words, errors and teachers comments? That may be a thing of the past. In the wussified world we live in today because “red” pens make children feel uncomfortable, researchers at University of Colorado in the U.S say that teachers should use more neutral colors like blue. GOOD GRIEF!!! The researchers behind the study say that teachers should not use red pens to mark homework and tests because it could upset schoolchildren. GOOD, THAT IS THE POINT SO THEY DON’T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE IN THE FUTURE.

Teachers should stop using red pens to mark homework and tests because it could upset schoolchildren, U.S researchers say.

A study showed students think they’ve been assessed more harshly when their work is covered in red ink compared to more neutral colours like blue.

Sociologists Richard Dukes and Heather Albanesi from the University of Colorado told the Journal of Social Science: ‘The red grading pen can upset students and weaken teacher-student relations and perhaps learning.’

In 2008, hundreds of schools banned teachers from using red ink to correct work because they considered it ‘confrontational’ and ‘threatening’.

But Chris McGovern, chairman of the Campaign for Real Education, slammed the findings saying: ‘In my own experience of 35 years in teaching is that children actually prefer teachers to use red ink because they can read comments more easily.

The entire point of marking a child’s paper, test, exam and quiz in red is to stand out from the blue or black ink or pencil that was used by the student. What a joke and candy-a$$ country we have become if a child cannot take having their exam graded in red ink. It might upset them? Really, maybe it should upset them so that they learn from their mistakes and get it right the nest time? But the liberals who have destroyed today’s public schools would rather the children feel better and not have anything upset them, rather than actually learn.

What have we come to in this country? I am sorry, but no one can tell me that the school system today. Between educators are more worried about teaching ‘Heather has Two Mommies’, charging children on terroristic threats when in possession of a Hello Kitty bubble gun, teaching sex-ed at far too young an age and gumming down the educational system with “No Child Left Behind’, allowing children to retake tests until they pass. We now have these fools worried about upsetting the children with red ink. Guess what, when you get a 100% or A+, that is in big bold red ink as well. Is that upsetting them as well? AMERICA, when are the parents going to stand up and make educators understand that it is during a child’s learning years that they understand how to cope with mistakes and failures that will serve them later on in life? Then again, many of the times, the parents are also to blame for their coddling of little Bobby or Suzie who were made to feel uncomfortable by getting a bad grade.

We have already taken away dodge ball and any thing that would promote completion in public schools. Picking teams is history because those who are chose last are made to feel inferior. Is it any wonder why when you do nothing but coddle children that they have no idea how to perform in the real world?

Any school that would follow the banning of red ink, should maybe have their decision makers be provided a pink slip as well.

South Carolina Chapin High School English Teacher Stomps om American Flag in Class

Hey liberal teachers … actions have consequences.

A Lexington-Richland District 5 English teacher at Chapin High School in  South Carolina finds himself in hot water from his actions of stomping on the American flag in class.  The misguided liberal teacher told the class that there would be no consequences in what he did because the flag was just a piece of cloth. How wrong could one fool be.  One may have the freedom of speech to stomp and burn the American flag, but the school also has the right to toss this liberal teacher out of the school on his ear. The teacher chose symbols of a cross and a flag to desecrate, isn’t that interesting that these idiot would have chose those two symbols to disrespect?

When Michael Copeland overheard his teenager talking about what her honors II English teacher did with the flag in their classroom, he pressed for details.

“He drew a couple of symbols, like one of them was a cross, and he said, ‘What does this represent,’ and everybody said, ‘Christianity,’” said Copeland.

“Then he proceeds to take down the American flag, and said, ‘This is a symbol, but it’s only a piece of cloth. It doesn’t mean anything,’ and then he throws it down on the floor and then stomps on it, repeatedly.”

“I asked what was he trying to get, the point across? And she said, ‘I don’t know,’ and he said, his explanation was there would be no consequences, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t mean anything.”

But there are consequences.

“Our superintendent served in the military, I served in the military for 20 years, our flag is a symbol of our freedom, and so many people have fought and died for that liberty, and so we take this action very seriously,” said Mark Bounds, a spokesperson for Lexington-Richland 5.

One may want to explain to this teacher that the superintendent of the school was a served in the military for 20 years and South Carolina is not California. Wake up America, this crap goes on every day in our schools where teachers with liberal, anti-American values try to indoctrinate children to their screwed up world view. A schooll spokesman said,“There is a code of ethics for teachers that talks about professional conduct, and then we tell our teachers that their personal opinion is their personal opinion and shouldn’t be brought into the classroom.” Liberals do not care.

“Our superintendent served in the military, I served in the military for 20 years, our flag is a symbol of our freedom, and so many people have fought and died for that liberty, and so we take this action very seriously,” said Mark Bounds, a spokesperson for Lexington-Richland 5.

The lesson was repeated in three classes that day, prompting a full investigation. After an unrelated incident at Dutch Fork where a teacher was suspended for a political sign in her room, officials say teachers know better.

However, I will say this … this misguided teacher does have the right to do what he did under the First Amendment, but there are always consequences to one’s actions, especially when teachers sign “ethics” and “conduct” guidelines.

President Obama Booed During Clemson Game & Clemson President Forgets the US Constitution … Hold that Tiger!!!

I knew there was a reason why I liked the Clemson University … HOLD THAT TIGER??? The University president wants you to hold your tongue.

Clemson football fans boo President Barack Obama during the swearing in of ROTC recruits at Military Appreciation Day last weekend. Clemson University president James Barker was not too amused and scolded Tiger nation.

The president of Clemson University is chastising those who booed President Barack Obama during the college’s Military Appreciation Day at last weekend’s game.

During the university’s annual event that was held this year during the Clemson vs. Virginia Tech game on Saturday, a ceremony was held to induct ROTC cadets into the military.

The ceremony was disrupted by booing from some fans in the stands.

In an email with the subject line, “Dear Clemson Family: Focus on Positive Dialogue and a Civil Discourse,” Clemson University president James Barker addressed the behavior at the football game.

A note to Clemson University president James Barker, you might want to check out this thing called the US Constitution and a little thing called the First Amendment that has to do with freedom of speech!Who the hell do you think you are? How about some cheese with that wine? So it was ok to cheer Obama, but not boo him. Really?

We the People  of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

You have no right to tell other what they can and cannot say. Good grief, even in one of the most Red of state’s college, we have to put up with a bleeding heart. Let’s get something straight president Barker, those in the stands are citizens of the United States before they are Clemson students. And, who is to say that they were students? It is amazing that these college stuffed shirts think that they are God and can dictate to others the

The president of Clemson University is chastising those who booed President Barack Obama during the college’s Military Appreciation Day at last weekend’s game.

In an email with the subject line, “Dear Clemson Family: Focus on Positive Dialogue and a Civil Discourse,” Clemson University president James Barker addressed the behavior at the football game.

“Unfortunately, the day was marred by bad behavior from some fans. During the ceremony inducting ROTC cadets into the military, a number of fans booed during the section of the oath they take to obey the President of the United States.

Comment of the day comes from Weasel Zippers, “It’s almost like the military and its supporters aren’t big fans of Obama.”

Deranged, Obama Kool-Aid Drinking NC Teacher Tonya Dixon-Neely Suspended With Pay After Telling Kids Not to Criticize the Obamamessiah (Update: Student Hunter Rogers Speaks Out)

The clueless and deranged NC teacher who told students that they could be arrested for criticizing President Barack Obama has been suspended with pay for her comments. Wow, you showed her. You just gave an Obama Kool-aid drinking so-called teacher who is more adept at spreading her liberal, Democrat agenda and love affair for Obama than to actually teach students an early summer vacation with pay. School officials also said there will be an investigation. Really?

Make no mistake about it the teacher, Tonya Dixon-Neely, was only suspended and the school district forced into making a statement because the student had the where with all to record the teachers out of control, deranged, moonbat rant defending Obama and attacking Mitt Romney. Thanks to the Internet and social media, the audio went viral and this hideous attempt of liberal indoctrination was exposed. This is what it has come to in public schools, teacher spreading this political agenda and threatening students that they could be jailed for daring to criticize Obama and express their 1st Amendment Rights to free speech.

A teacher at a Rowan County school has been suspended after getting national attention for a YouTube video that surfaced last week showing her yelling at her students, saying it’s wrong to criticize the president.

In the YouTube video, North Rowan High School teacher Tonya Dixon-Neely and her students were debating several political issues, including a discussion about President Obama and Republican candidate Mitt Romney.

The video, which was uploaded on May 14, had more than 178,000 views on YouTube as of Monday afternoon.  The story has been picked up by national media outlets, including Fox News and the New York Post.  Controversial radio host Rush Limbaugh discussed the issue on his radio show on Monday afternoon as well.

If you missed the initial audio, it can he heard HERE.

The school district was forced to released a statement on Monday regarding the unhinged and what has become all too typical example of bias public school teaching trying to spread a liberal agenda rather than educate students and allowing a free flow of ideas.

“The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to maintain their professionalism in the classroom.  This incident should serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their interaction with students. Due to personnel and student confidentiality, we cannot discuss the matter publicly.”

Jamie Wearing Fool is quick to point out the bias reporting of the bias suspended teacher. Isn’t it just peachy that the reporting of this story calls Rush Limbaugh the one who’s controversial here, not this illiterate nutcase teacher. Go figure? This is how bias the MSM is, they don’t even realize anymore that are bias. They just can’t help themselves.

Back to the illiterate nutcase teacher. How does anyone allow this teacher back in the classroom? From all accounts this is how the teacher usually acts and conducts herself. It was only until she was recorded and the audio went viral before she was outed. Note to students, it would appear that all will have to record their teachers in order to stop the liberal indoctrination. Another issue arises as well, this teacher totally lost control of the class and herself. How can a social studies teacher who has an inherent bias and liberal agenda act as Obama so likes to say … Fairly? The answer is, she can’t.

This is not the first time we have seen this slobbering love affair and bizarro behavior from our so-called educators. Remember the indoctrination of our youth in school when Obama was elected … Mmm, mmm, mmm … Barack Hussein Obama.

UPDATE I: Student speaks out on Fox News as to what happened in classroom with unhinged teacher. Hear Hunter Rogers in his own words school the bias, liberal agenda driven, Barack Obama teacher sycophant teacher.

VIDEO

“Honestly, at the time I wanted to laugh at her, because I’ve been taught all my life that nobody can take your opinion,” Hunter Rogers said.  He said he knew that it takes an actual threat against the president, not just criticism, to be arrested.

Hunter Rogers and his mother Gina spoke to Fox News about the incident and the recording of the argument that later went viral on YouTube.

“(The teacher) doesn’t want to hear anything but what she believes, and … if you disagree, you get berated and put down,” Rogers said. “I just decided to finally get some proof of it.”

High School Teacher Tells Student That He Could be Charged with a Criminal Offense For Speaking Ill Against Barack Obama

WELCOME TO HOPE AND CHANGE, IT REALLY IS AN OBAMANATION …

OBAMA’s EDUCATION BULLIES … The Obama brainwashing and indoctrination of students continues in public school … Say anything negative about Obama and its slander.

How dare any student ask a question or challenge a teacher when it comes to the all-mighty Barack Obama. Teacher goes mental on a student who merely expresses their First Amendment Right of Free speech. The North Rowan High School teacher tells the student that they can be arrested and charged criminally for speaking against Obama. Yup, this is what public school has come to.

When the student tells the teacher that Obama admitted to bullying a girl in school, the teacher goes on the defensive.

“Stop, no, because there is no comparison,” she says. Romney, she says, is “running for president. Obama is the president.”

When the student says they’re both “just men,” the teacher continues to argue that Romney, as a candidate for president, is not to be afforded the same respect as the president.

The teacher tells the class Obama is “due the respect that every other president is due.”

“Listen, let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom,” she says.

The student replies that he’ll say what he wants.

“Not about him you won’t,” the teacher says.

After reviewing a video in which a North Rowan High School teacher tells a student he can be arrested for speaking ill of President Barack Obama, the Rowan-Salisbury School System said it can be a learning experience.

Meanwhile, an expert on politics at Catawba College says the social studies teacher just doesn’t have her facts straight when she insists speaking your mind about a president can get you charged with a criminal offense.

Although two students provided the name of the teacher, the Post is not publishing it because officials within the school system would not confirm her identity and she could not be reached for comment.

The video captures audio of the dispute but does not show the teacher or anyone else. It appears to have been shot with a phone or other device as the camera pointed at the ceiling the entire time.

Rowan-Salisbury spokeswoman Rita Foil confirmed the teacher is still employed with the district and has not been suspended for disciplinary reasons. Foil emailed this statement to a Post reporter Friday on behalf of the school system:

Classic from Weasel Zippers, ‘Screams of my Father’, LOL!

What is truly amazing in the discussion between the student and the teacher is that the student is the one who sounds like an educated adult. The teacher sounds like an irrational, bumbling, ignorant fool. The Obama Kool-aid drinking teacher is so in the tank for the Obamamessiah that she would dare stifle free speech. Worse yet, this disgrace of a teacher is still employed and no disciplinary action was taken.

Update from Breitbart.com … “The student’s parents have since taken him out of school and had him registered at another nearby school.”

Virginia Middle School Teacher Makes Students do Opposition Research as Class Assignment Against GOP Presidential Candidates

The liberal  indoctrination of school student continues … READING, WRITING AND BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

A Virginia Middle School teacher at Liberty School actually made his students do opposition research against the Republican Presidential candidates. Michael Denman had his students seek out the vulnerabilities of Republican presidential candidates and forward them to the Obama campaign. HUH? After the middle school students researched the backgrounds and positions of each GOP candidates, they then were supposed to find “weaknesses” of each candidate. The students were then asked  to prepare a strategy paper to exploit those weaknesses and then to send their suggestions to the Obama campaign. Liberal academia strikes again. Geez, why didn’t he have them do robo-calls as well?

Hey Kids, how’s that “Hopey-Changey” stuff working out for you with that Obama National debt you will be paying in the future?

A Virginia middle school teacher recently forced his students to support President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign by conducting opposition research in class against the Republican presidential candidates.

The 8th grade students, who attend Liberty Middle School in Fairfax County, were required to seek out the vulnerabilities of Republican presidential hopefuls and forward them to the Obama campaign.

“This assignment was just creepy beyond belief — like something out of East Germany during the Cold War,” one frustrated father, who asked for his family to remain anonymous, told The Daily Caller.

Yet more Obama indoctrinated School kids … too bad they have no idea what they are singing about.

What would have happened if a parent did not complain and raise the red flag as to how a teacher would so blatantly politicize one side of the political spectrum? It is not as though the students were given a choice. It was a partisan attack against GOP candidates. Never were any of the students asked to do opposition research on Obama. How pathetic have public schools become with their liberal bias indoctrination? The cowardly teacher failed comment on his actions and the spokesman on behalf of the Fairfax County Public School system actually defended the actions of this twit by saying the students were never instructed to actually send their results to the Obama campaign. Like that makes a difference. Unbelievable.

“I was shocked that a school teacher would so blatantly politicize the curriculum of a middle school classroom,” the parent said. “I asked [my child] if a similar assignment had been handed out to examine the background and positions of President Obama to see if the teacher was at least being bipartisan.”

No similar assignment was given to research Obama’s history, identify his weaknesses or pass them along to the Republican candidates.

John Torre, a spokesman on behalf of the Fairfax County Public School system, insists that students were never instructed to actually send their results to the Obama campaign.

What is the result of this blatant attempt to exploit these middle school kids and attempt to indoctrinate them in the ways of liberalism, socialism and Obamaism … The Fairfax County Public Schools system says there are no plans to discipline him. Figures.

All I have to say is Mmm, Mmm, Mmm … LIBERAL ACADEMIA INDOCTRINATION, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm
