How Schools Use Fear to Brainwash Students to Trust the System

[Serpo]

The school went on lockdown mode without even bothering to inform me, her parent, and while it turned out to be nothing at all, the impression left on my child that day will not soon be forgotten.
In 2005, a federal court upheld that our nation’s public schools trump parent rights (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.eagleforum.org/educate/2005/dec05/9th-circuit.html):

Parents and politicians alike were shocked when the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled on Nov. 2 that parents’ fundamental right to control the upbringing of their children “does not extend beyond the threshold of the school door,” and that a public school has the right to provide its students with “whatever information it wishes to provide, sexual or otherwise.

The court went on to clarify:
Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed.

What this decision essentially says is that, as a parent, your rights to control what your children are being taught end at the school door.
Mainstream media reports continue to reveal the larger government indoctrination agenda at work in America’s public school system.
One California elementary school hosted a “toy gun buyback program” last week aimed at scaring kids into getting rid of anything even resembling a fake gun, and ultimately, to scare them away from active self defense, real gun ownership and the natural right to bear arms protected by our 2nd Amendment.
According to a CBS affiliate in San Francisco (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2013/06/10/hayward-school-holds-buyback-for-toy-guns/), the school’s principal held the event “as a lesson for children who may see guns as part of everyday life”:
“As they get older, it becomes just a natural thing,” [Principal] Hill told KPIX 5. “If they have a real gun in their hand, they’ll pull the trigger just as quick. I mean, they don’t fear it.”

The key word there? Fear. As in, ‘they don’t fear guns’ enough…yet.
These programs are popping up at schools and churches across the nation following the Sandy Hook shooting last December. Since the tragedy, schools have gone overboard hyping the fear of guns and pushing gun control programming into overdrive, with young kids being suspended and arrested all over the country for paper guns (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/01/23/philadelphia-girl-scolded-searched-after-pulling-out-paper-gun-at-school/), pink bubble guns (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2013/01/kindergartner-suspended-over-bubble-gun-threat/) and even making their fingers into the shape of a gun (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.kvue.com/news/Child-suspended-for-using-finger-as-imaginary-gun-187349051.html)on the playground during a harmless game of ‘cops and robbers’.
Likewise, schools across the country like my daughter’s have begun jumping at ghosts, going into lockdown mode for almost any reason and putting the kids on a perpetual fear roller coaster akin to the atomic bomb drills following World War II.
While fear rules the day at our nation’s public schools, the flipside to this coin is a continual normalization of total compliance with the system.
CBS Los Angeles (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2013/04/25/hawthorne-schools-speed-up-lunch-line-with-palm-scanners/) recently reported that new palm scanners in two local schools would “speed up the lunch lines”. These schools join others (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://dailycaller.com/2012/11/26/coming-to-a-school-cafeteria-checkout-near-you-palm-scanners/) who have implemented similar biometric payment systems that read vein patterns connected to the children’s meal plans with an infrared light.
Parents in Louisiana spoke out against the new palm scanners in their children’s school cafeteria, calling the program the Mark of the Beast (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/17/palm-scanners-to-pay-for-_n_1799735.html). School officials there were quick to defend the system, saying these palm scans are just more “technology that is used throughout our lives. Everywhere.”
Everywhere, indeed. Poor argument actually, because if it is the Mark of the Beast, then wouldn’t it technically need to be everywhere?
Elsewhere in Florida, one school district was testing a new iris scanning software without even informing the parents at all. When the parents found out and protested, and the program got shut down, the media reported that it “could keep kids safer, (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.nbcnews.com/id/52087132/ns/technology_and_science-tech_and_gadgets/t/controversial-iris-scanning-program-could-keep-kids-safer/#.UbwtbZywXPF)” as if to imply the parents were just not as concerned for their children’s safety as the school was that they would deny their kids the ability to have their irises scanned every time they get on a school bus.

Other schools are forcing students to wear RFID tracking chips that trace their every step via computer. It began in one San Antonio, Texas school district, and when a student spoke out because she felt the practice infringed on her religious beliefs (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://feeds.feedburner.com//https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zVewZG50Tk), she was kicked out of school for refusal to be chipped. Her case went all the way to federal court before being struck down, setting a precedent that student rights — religious or otherwise — no longer matter once our children set foot on school grounds.
There’s a reason Rutherford Institute founder and constitutional lawyer John Whitehead refers to schools as one more part of America’s ever-expanding ‘electronic concentration camp (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://youtu.be/VKPg9U7VkQw)‘. Our kids are being taught that giving up privacy and basic freedom to go about their daily lives chipped, tracked and trace is normal.
Many American parents cannot afford private schools and do not have the time or ability to homeschool their kids, leaving their children at the mercy of public schools as their only viable education option. The Obama Administration has been toying with the idea of a federal preschool program (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/2013/02/the_risk_of_obamas_universal_daycare.html) and longer school days with less summer vacation (http://beforeitsnews.com/r2/?url=http://reason.com/blog/2013/06/06/the-war-on-summer-vacation). That means that, all waking hours considered, students will spend more time for more of their adolescent lives at school than at home with their families. Parents will have to work extra hard on building up their children’s critical thinking skills, to help them wade through a river of government propaganda to find the kernels of truth.

how about a pink bubble gum gun ?

anything that would raise the ATF's blood pressure - seems worth it.

you could have a Grape bubble gum gun, and all the bubble gum flavors that existed when i was a kid.

i think a lot of kids would like a Bubble Gum gun. especially if there parents don't like it.

and if it shot chocolate bullets ...

i could see a WHOLE line of gun-shaped candy.

something for kids to use to upset their parents. something for gun-rights practitioners to use to upset dogma-bound liberals.


i used to go out with a woman who had her own small business making specialty chocolate bars in San Francisco. one of her specialties was "Tit-suckers". literally, milk chocolate breasts.

by day she was a secretary at BofA. then she went to medical school.

a visit to her apartment always entailed a tour of her candy factory. in her case she designed the molds and then paid a vacuum forming company to make the mold pattern and 'pull' the plastic molds.

then she mixed up the chocolate and poured batches of candies in her kitchen and dining room and apartment.

having seen how it was done with breast-shaped candy, i could easily see it being done with gun-shaped candy.


do you think that would be a good seller ? in some neighborhoods, i think it might be, as long as you can keep a limit on price.

of course, it's not like the entrepreneurial world is going to wait for me to get off my ass. they already did it !

anything that raises a cop's blood pressure can't be all bad !


that's very post-Sandy-Hook: Willie Wonka's chocolate factory starts making chocolate GUNS.

of course, a piece of chocolate flying at 2500 foot-pounds would make quite a Splatter.


take this chocolate bomb through a TSA checkpoint.

There is less faith now in the public education system than there ever has been. Homeschooling has increased by 75 percent in the last 14 years, according to a recent report in Education News. Homeschooling is growing seven times faster than a K-12 public education. Researchers predict that the homeschooling boom will continue to explode over the next 10 years, as parents seek to provide their son/daughter with a better education, one that is less controlling and less controlled.

Now seeing that the federal government's no child left behind act has made public education into a factory line, more parents are finding alternative educations at home. As the government continues to intrude, it will be wise for parents to take a closer look at the looming common core standards that states are now adopting from the Obama Administration. These standards do even more damage, seeking to turn students and their emotions into stored, traceable data, using data mining techniques.

Regurgitating information and coloring in bubbles
The onslaught of government programs and standardized testing has rendered students just mere statistics in a database. Many parents feel like their child has become just another brick in the wall. The National Assessment of Educational Progress reports that the No Child Left behind Act did nothing over the last decade but pressure a narrow curriculum onto schools, a curriculum that taught straight to the tune of state testing guidelines. The subsequent inflated test scores never proved that real learning had improved, but instead created a brainwashing system. This standardized system has stunted creativity in children, scolded skepticism, herded achievement, and reigned in competition to an equal yoke, as kids learn nothing more than how to regurgitate information and color in a bubble.

Turning your children into a traceable number in a database
As government is continually looked to as the answer for education, new Common Core standards are being coerced into each state's public education system. These uniform standards make the No Child Left Behind Act look like a small appetizer. Common core goes deeper than standardized education. It seeks to turn children into digitized pets tied to a surveillance leash. In fact, Common Core standards reveal data mining techniques, which will record and log a student's facial expressions and reactions through iris and other biometric scans implemented through sensors on school computers.

Although common core looks like a state initiated plan, the program was actually coerced onto the states through a $4 billion grant from Obama's Race to the Top program. The federal government, run by controlling surveillance freaks, has effectively lassoed state support. There's an exception to that rule, though - Missouri. Representative Blaine Luetkemeyer from Missouri has recently wrote a letter to the US Department of Education, addressing several issues with the new Common Core standards.

"We understand that as a condition of applying for [Race to the Top] grant funding, states obligated themselves to implement a State Longitudinal Database System (SLDS) used to track students by obtaining personally identifiable information," Luetkemeyer said. "We formally request a detailed description of each change to student privacy policy that has been made under your leadership, including the need and intended purpose for such changes."

The Department of Education applauds the data mining techniques, saying in its February 2013 report, "Researchers are exploring how to gather complex affective data and generate meaningful and usable information to feed back to learners, teachers, researchers, and the technology itself. Connections to neuroscience are also beginning to emerge."

Nine states have already complied to this new technology, which goes farther than eyeballing student test scores. Students' personal information, including behavior and reactions are being sent to a database managed by In Bloom, Inc., which is a privately funded organization started by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Benefits of homeschooling
An Education News report actually shows that homeschooled children ultimately attain four year degrees at much higher rates than publicly enrolled students. As a matter of fact, some of the top colleges in the US, including Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Harvard, Stanford, and Duke University avidly recruit homeschooled children. Homeschooled children aren't as socially inept as what others stigmatize. In fact, homeschooled children complete their work faster at home and have more time for community, church, and neighborhood social activities. Family values and character, the most overlooked part of an education, are taught much more strongly from home, making homeschooled children more respectful, higher achieving, and beneficial members of the community. Furthermore, most public schools spend very limited time on three other very important life skills - proper nutrition, hands on skills, and entrepreneurship. These skills are passed on well in a home school environment.

All in all, homeschooling is on the rise as parents "wake up" to the reality that a public education has become nothing more than a watered down, standardized, brainwashing, data mining pool that sells their kids, brick by brick, up the crick for a lousy government granted paycheck.

If I had the means (i.e. time) I would home school my daughter. She would learn finance, monetary history and current policy. True American history, physics, science and ballistics ;)

Mathematics my wife is better at, and would gain more from her. lol
