Education Blaze Exclusive: Socialist Mantra Hidden in Grade School Chants

The Promise Of America Is. . . Socialism? That’s exactly what is being taught in many American public schools.

Under the guise of teaching children to read, the seeds of Socialism are being planted within the minds of young children. Do you believe that the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States mandates the following?

The People’s basic needs must be met in a country. Needs for housing, education, transportation, and health care overseen by our government system.

Those are the words being chanted over and over and over by school children around the country. They are part of an educational program called Building Fluency Through Practice and Performance. This section is called ‘The Promise of America’ and it breaks down the fifty-two word single sentence that is the Preamble. Here is the original:

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.

I agree that is not education, it is indoctrination and is flat wrong!

Here is a link to the full handout referenced. Scroll down to Preamble to the Constitution.

Um, wouldn't you encourage patriotism, highlight the great deeds of American forefathers and show the virtues of capitalism over socialism if you had a classroom of youth to teach?
The Jesuits realized a long time ago that one of the easiest ways to influence a society is to educate the children. Especially the children of the elites.

Patriotism is one thing - I wholeheartedly agree with encouraging patriotism. Teaching kids to expect the government to take care of all their needs (which is what this document implies) it 'way over the top.

Isn't it interesting that in Japan right now people are helping each other, ferreting out what meager things they can for food and shelter and warmth, and not sitting on top of the rubble whining that the government is not taking care of their needs?

Actually Japan is much more socialist than the US. Maybe they are in shock right now? Even the main consumer bank there is run by their post office. The daily newspapers are financed by the goverment like our NPR and PBS. And they have much more federal debt than we do. 200% of their GDP.

That is true - they are a very socialist country. My point, however, is that in spite of that many of the people there seem to be much more self-reliant than many folks here in the US.

so you are saying that real socialism promotes self-reliance? Maybe we need to become more socialistic not less.

Self Reliance and the face to the rest of the world has always been a part of Japanese Culture. It has nothing to do with the political winds of the Nation and much to do with what it means to be Japanese. To make it as clear as I can to you. I, being a man, have no idea of what it feels like to be pregnant.

I, as a White man, can never have an idea of what it is like to be a black man. My thinking that I can, based upon the heritage and experiences of being raised Jewish, doesn't make it so.

Instead of self-reliance maybe the Japanese are more used to putting up with crap?
Russians also seem to be very good at putting up with shortages, maybe it is just part of the national character.
