POPSPlanned Parenthood Indoctrinates High-Schools I wonder if our tax dollars (via stimulus money) is paying for these new jobs? Perhaps these are the jobs Obama was talking about creating. The text claims they will stress abstinence, but of course the lefties believe abstinence programs don't work, so I doubt there will be much emphasis on that in this indoctrination program.

POPSPlay controls impulsive behavior
"46 percent of kindergarten teachers said that at least half the kids in their classes had problems following directions. In another study, Head Start teachers reported that more than a quarter of their students exhibited serious self-control-related negative behaviors, like kicking or threatening other students, at least once a week. Walter Gilliam, a professor at Yale’s child-study center, estimates that each year, across the country, more than 5,000 children are expelled from pre-K programs because teachers feel unable to control them." Do these statistics sounds familiar? If you have a child in elementary school or preschool, you may have to deal with your child being criticized for their impulsive behavior. They might even be given a diagnosis or put in special "resource" education programs. I don't blame the educational programs or even political policy on education for the problems are children are experiencing in schools. I don't blame the mental health professionals f

POPSAP: NYC mayor restricts idling, but his SUVs do it The mayor earlier this year strengthened the city's anti-idling law — which allows three minutes of idling — into what advocates call the nation's toughest and promised a public-awareness campaign. The bill limited idling to one minute in school zones and mandated education for taxi driver applicants. "Those of us that want to leave a good life for our children, and want to have clean air for us to breathe, and clean water to drink ... it's incumbent on us to really carry the fight," he said at the signing. the AP spotted one of his SUVs idling for about 40 minutes during a morning event, and 43 minutes more at City Hall. At a morning event this week, idling lasted more than 30 minutes. The following evening, Bloomberg gave a speech in midtown Manhattan while the vehicles idled for 45 minutes.

POPSThe last days of health freedom Now we are at the point that food and healthcare systems simply cannot exist anymore in the same manner as before. Prevailing majority of modern diseases in one way or another linked to these two spheres; instead of to be healing factors they are threatening and damaging. We have no choice but changing it. Can we do it? Yes we can!:)

POPSDems Pro-choice Except for a child's Education Once again it is obvious that when it comes to improving the blight of inner city youth, the democrats who decry the conditions fight against anything that actually helps better that condition. They may dress like sheep but inwardly they are ravenous wolves, prying on our children every chance they get.

POPSDick Durbin's Poison Pill To Kill Washington Opportunity Scholarship Program unless both Congress and the D.C. City Council take specific steps to reauthorize it. Reauthorization is clearly not the intent of the Democratic leaders who run Congress. Powerful teachers unions that oppose school choice contributed millions to Democratic campaigns last year, and the Democratic leadership in Congress now has the program in its crosshairs. In a recent statement, House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-OK) advised D.C. School Chancellor Michelle Rhee to “promptly take steps to minimize potential disruption and ensure smooth transition” for children currently participating in the program to re-enroll in the District’s public schools. Children across America stand to be negatively impacted by the legislation passed by the House in a more subtle, but equally harmful way.

POPSChristians called to abandon public education
Exodus Mandate Project is advocating the abandonment of public education because public schools adhere to the constitutional doctrine of separation of church and state. This doctrine is not inherently evil, if parents want to teach their children according to biblical mandates they have that right under the very same constitution. To say that America’s children “are trapped in the state-run public schools" is preposterous. The 14,000 hours of “pagan, godless public schools” is not teaching ‘against’ any religion. It does not ‘involve’ any religion. That is what church, synagogue and mosque are for. The government does not deny anyone a religious education nor do they deny access to church. Moral corruption does not begin in our public schools. It begins at home in the bosom of the very families this whacko organization is trying to ‘save’. Don’t demonize the constitution and the public school system because you can’t convince your followers to practice Christianity.

POPSOutstanding article on parent-child relationship This article in the Statesman Journal is one of the most thorough journalistic presentations of the importance of the first five years of child development AND the critical role that parents play. Most journalists focus on programs, but Mackenzie Ryan gets it right: Parents are the key.

POPSBirds do it, Bees do it, but humans don't! Of course, we should teach our teenage children good judgement, if that is at all possible when it comes to the powerful instinctual urges belonging to all life, the drive to BEGET. Try telling a teeny bobber about love and responsibility. They'll look at you, the same way you look at a dog chasing its tail, bewilderment of such a stupidity lag. But, for most parents, the teen "eye roll" just slides off their back, down to the floor where it can be easily stepped on. But all sarcasm aside, teaching this program alone is not just block-headed, its outrageously dangerous. By not equipping our young with knowledge on self preservation, we neglect the most basic fact of life, the instinctive teachings of fundamental survival techniques. Go and watch some wild life with their young and you will see such training. Birds do it, Bees do it, even Monkeys in the trees do it. Also on http://thinkingblue.blogspot.com
