The brainwashing of America’s children

It’s quite the Hitlerjugend brewing under the surface. As if on-campus recruiting of would-be adults and sinister computer games (America’s Army) weren’t enough, here comes something even more shocking.

RINF - The military-industrial brainwashing of america’s children - American children are constantly being placed into situations where they alone have to deal with the brainwashing tactics of Corporate america, religious fundamentalists, military recruiters, and in-school testing that looks more like indoctrination techniques than teaching.

The dumbing-down of educational instruction and the promotion of generic, group thinking has only one purpose - to discourage independent decision-making and to penalize those students who question anything that is not pre-approved by their teachers and local school boards.

Followed by some real life examples of indoctrination that by far supercede anything that Nazi Germany employed. Also …

RINF - Marines recruiting 8-year olds - The Marines now seem to be recruiting 8-year olds (got to meet those recruitment quotas!). Sheesh! This was forwarded to me by a friend, who is the spouse of a school principal. The principal had found it frightening that the recruiter seemed to have contacted all county elementary schools principals. Oh yeah — I forgot: NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND.

One of the principals who received this email found it “scary,” and commented “Does this look like the young Nazis or what?” In fact, a photo posted at their website, under the history of the Young Marines, is shockingly similar to a photo of Hitler Youth.

Eerie … even beyond the obvious HJ references, this surely constitutes an atavism by any enlightened standard.
