Unapologetic Public
School Officials Turning Children Into Good Little Comrades

For decades, even before the collapse of the Soviet Union, stories of
collectivist indoctrination of children to be “good” members of Soviet
society had been reported. Vladimir Lenin, who stated, “Give us the
child for 8 years and it will be a Bolshevik forever,” knew that
indoctrination was the key to having a uniformly obedient collectivist
society. His successor, Josef Stalin, was even more blunt (and brutal)
in his imposition of state obedience replacing family loyalty. It is,
perhaps with that in mind, that we Americans become particularly
suspect of state intervention with our children.
Kyle Olsen, writing at BigGovernment.com caught this disturbing story
of public school officials in Lee County, North Carolina using children
to lobby parents for education spending. It may have gone largely
unnoticed had one of those parents not been State Representative Mike
Stone [R] who received a letter from his own daughter.
Representative Stone has every right to be angry at school district
officials for the blatant manipulation of his own daughter.
“As I read through this (letter), anger completely shot through me, and
I was trying to hold myself together,” he said. “(It’s unconscionable)
to know any education system would use a daughter against her father.”
What Lee and other parents should be steaming mad about is the
encouragement from Lee County’s statist school superintendent Jeff Moss
is showing
Superintendent Jeff Moss said letters were also sent from students in
other local schools to their representatives and to Gov. Beverly
Perdue. Letters weren’t written to “Mike Stone, the father” but to
“Mike Stone, the representative,” he said.
“If you’re not interested in receiving letters from people in your
district, don’t run for public office,” Moss said.
He said he doesn’t see a problem with a writing exercise that has
students supporting public education.
Moss’ manipulation of eight-year old children against their parents
shouldn’t come as a shock to the citizens of Lee County, North
Carolina. You see, like other collectivists before him, Superintendent
Moss, knows that shaping young minds produces good little comrades.
With the community’s support and involvement, we will continue our
mission “to teach each student the social and academic skills needed to
become a responsible and productive citizen.”
It must be wonderful that public school officials in Lee County, NC
feel obliged to turn a daughter against a father, or manipulate
schoolkids behind their parents’ backs.
