Almost four years later, and your still talking about Bush? How sad and pathetic is your life?
Ah..history means nothing to you? On a side note, I wish Christians had your attitude and could live in the now.
Unfortunately when a president like W makes his mark it sort of has that lingering effect on you.
But you must be in the rich 2% where such effects don't affect.

Erm, I don't know what school you went to, but I learned how to spell in public schools. I'm not even a liberal, by the way, but just trying to point out that your argument is invalid.
Gosh darn "liberal-run" school system! Teaching me how to spell and do various math equations and making me learn computer skills! Makes me rage so hard!
We can deduce The Order's objectives for education from evidence already presented and by examining the work and influence of John Dewey, the arch creator of modern educational theory. How do we do this? We first need to examine Dewey's relationship with The Order. Then compare Dewey's philosophy with Hegel and with the philosophy and objectives of modern educational practice.
John Dewey worked for his doctorate at Johns Hopkins University from 1882-86 under Hegelian philosopher George Sylvester Morris. Morris in turn had his doctorate from University of Berlin and studied under the same teachers as Daniel Gilman, i.e., Adolph Trendelenberg and Hermann Ulrici.
Looking back at John Dewey after 80 years of his influence, he can be recognized as the pre-eminent factor in the collectivisation, or Hegelianization, of American Schools. Dewey was consistently a philosopher of social change. That's why his impact has been so deep and pervasive. And it is in the work and implementation of the ideas of John Dewey that we can find the objective of The Order.
What we learn from this is that Dewey's education is not child centered but State centered, because for the Hegelian, "social ends" are always State ends.
This is where the gulf of misunderstanding between modern parents and the educational system begins. Parents believe a child goes to school to learn skills to use in the adult world, but Dewey states specifically that education is "not a preparation for future living." The Dewey educational system does not accept the role of developing a child's talents but, contrarily, only to prepare the child to function as a unit in an organic whole - in blunt terms a cog in the wheel of an organic society. Whereas most Americans have moral values rooted in the individual, the values of the school system are rooted in the Hegelian concept of the State as the absolute. No wonder there is misunderstanding!
Stripped of the pedantic language it is new world order, a world organic society. But there is no provision for a global organic order within the Constitution. In fact, it is illegal for any government officer or elected official to move the United States towards such an order as it would clearly be inconsistent with the Constitution. To be sure, Dewey was not a government official, but Vasconcellos has taken an oath of allegiance to the Constitution.
The National Education Association, the lobby for education, produced a program for the 1976 Bicentennial entitled "A Declaration Of Interdependence: Education For A Global Community."

I did go to public school before the liberals destoyed it with their social engineering. Our school district was one of the better ones too.
But face it, the Democrats do control the teachers unions and the NEA today and they have pushed everything from values clarification to condoms on cucumbers (that worked out really well huh) to why Suzie has two moms. You cannot deny it. They taught computer skills in the 70s too, it was just BASIC programming. But then that's junior high. If they didn't get spelling and grammar before then...edit on 25-8-2011 by ThirdEyeofHorus because: (no reason given)

Aren't there laws perventing large signs on Interstates? I'm not sure.
If not, they have a right to have these, but they are in such poor taste I'm cringing for the poor near-illiterate person who made them. *shudders*

Umm... no. The accentuated ears, lips, teeth and noise coupled with the reduced cranial dome is classic racism.

Looks like you failed to get the essence of the We the Congress point. We have a representative Republic. That does not mean Congress gets to shove mandated health insurance down our throats because a group of Socialists want it.

So that means every political cartoonist is a racist seeing this IS pretty much how every cartoonist draws Obama.

He's a politician, so of course he's sub-human!

Yeah yeah the racism card thing is BS and these are just caricatures, we know...but the NAACP can give scholarships to whomever they please. Just like if I, a male, wanted to apply for a scholarship that is only given to women, I wouldn't get it. It's kind of ludicrous that this "kid" went to the NAACP to apply for a scholarship, your story actually sounds made-up just to prove your point.
Meanwhile, a real issue, I just moved to California and they recently passed a bill that allows privately-funded financial-aid to illegal immigrants. I applied for a lot of financial-aid to get a second degree, I didn't qualify
Privately funded, they should be able to do whatever they want with their scholarship money, but I still think it shouldn't be going to illegals.edit on 25-8-2011 by upgrayeddc310t because: I typed should when it should have been shouldn't.
