Pol Pot Runs CA Government Schools
Make sure you read Katy Grimes’ new column on government schools, below. It’s about the vast decline of California’s government schools into egalitarian madness. Not much surprises me anymore, especially government actions. But I gasped when I read this part: “And the latest education snafu is that children are provided a list of supplies they must bring to class on the first day. Teachers then take the supplies, dump them into a bin and redistribute the pens, pencils, crayons, colored pencils, erasers, paper and notebooks. Why? Because not every kid will bring supplies to school. Teachers don’t want them to feel badly. One teacher who recently called in to a radio program said that kids who bring better quality supplies to class make the others feel inferior. So teachers take the supplies away, and redistribute them “fairly’.” I sent Katy an email, reading, “No! It’s not possible!” But it is possible. California schools now are being run by Pol Pot, the communist dictator of Cambodia in the 1970s. He supposedly died in 1998. But actually he’s alive and committing more atrocities right here in California. Pot developed his philosophy of absolute equality while one of “Sartre’s Children,” young Khmer Rouge radicals who learned their anti-human polices at the foot of Jean Paul Sartre, the “philosopher” who was an apologist for Stalin and Mao. When they returned home to Cambodia, they forced total egalitarianism on everyone, in the process murdering one-third of Cambodians. Forcing school children to perform equally — even in a random, mindless fashion with the pencils and pens and crayons all mixed up, the expensive with the cheap — partakes of the Pol Pot mindset. I no longer favor “reforming” the government schools. They are unreformable. Abolish them. All of them. – Aug. 29, 2011

As a Vietnam Era Vet, I don’t particularly care for your analogy but, I can verify that what Katy found is true. And it is an atrocity. The biggest atrocity, of course, is that we have public schools that make students bring their own supplies, beyond their favorite writing instrument. So, as a parent and taxpayer, I pay twice for my child to go to school. I was fortunate that my child did not go through this in elementary or middle school. She recently told me about her high school science teacher asking the kids last year to recycle any folios, binders, and other supplies by leaving them for the incoming class if they were not going to be used. I see nothing wrong with this. But, I want my child to have the supplies I purchased for her when I sent her to school.
This truly is the state running amok, trying to change peoples lives, one pencil at a time. How about the indoctrination of our children into the socialist lifestyle?
Tell us how you really feel, John.
