Some celebrities believe that, because they had a top ten song or won an Emmy, they are qualified to speak on issues ranging from stem cell research to the environment. More disturbing is when public school teachers try to indoctrinate our children instead of educating them. I was shown a handout given to a sixth grade class in Pulaski, NY, that was created by the teacher to gauge which presidential candidate students would endorse.
The questions on the handout had a clear liberal slant. For example, the survey said if you are "against giving minorities equal opportunities," that means you support Bush, and if you support "equal opportunities," then Kerry is your man. You also support Bush if you want to ban allowing "people from other countries to move to America," yet no distinction is made between legal and illegal immigration. I can assure you that this type of assignment is being given in many of our public schools. We as parents must remember to not only be informed voters but to educate our children as well. Singers should stick to singing and teachers should stick to teaching the three R's.
