Whatever man, it's better than having them sit around playing super mario all day long.

Children are easily manipulated, its why democrats want to keep the kids in government controlled schools, cant have a generation growing up thinking for themselves.

Farking news flash: Human beings are genetically predisposed to intense tribalism.

The Wave is about a million years old. I learned about it in middle school. I was in middle school 12 years ago.

you have to kill their father when they're 13, right?

Yeah, I watched the movie and read the book like a million time when I was a kid. I was looking for tips on how to rule the world even back then.
I was/am an Eric Cartman in the making.

The point is: "Who the shepherd is makes a difference". Yeah, most people are sheep. Even Jesus Christ understood that.

Mandatory school uniforms, now!

Imagine I posted a pic here of the little German kid with the Magic Marker mustache from Eurotrip.

So not only is Hollywood out of ideas, but the German equivalent too

In the tag line: Substitute "Democratic party" for "Experiment" 'cuz they're doing it right now with an empty suit full of socialistic promises.

I for one welcome...

/oh wait...

Yeah, as if the the Nazis invented indoctrination...

Another Government Employee: Yeah, most people are sheep.

Including virtually everyone who likes to point out that others are sheep.

This is not surprising at all, white people are inherently racists. That is the reason why black people had to struggle for that long to get some kind of rights.

Kind of true. I hate white people. I mean, with a serious passion. They smell like wet dog when it rains.

And yet that empty suit has done far more in the past few years alone than you done in your lifetime to help others. That and being a legal scholar, community leader for over a decade where he raised many people out of the projects and that half the stuff he voted on that they accused him of having a socialist agenda, such as voting against increased prison terms for certain crimes is a conservative vote. You know, maintaining the status quo. Not trying to create new laws for social control such as zero tolerance.

Kids are gullible and stupid.

Rock music proves that beyond a doubt.

Just like it's easy to turn kids into Christians, eco-terrorists, liberals, or any other thing.

and Obamamania.

All you brown eyes, bow to your blue-eyed betters.

/this week.

We saw the original "Wave" back in school. Our teacher was trying very hard to show us the follies of Nazism. So hard, she started getting on our nerves. After seeing the "Wave" we decided to pull her leg by reenacting it. We ran through the school with the "Wave salute" shouting the parole.

What had we learnt from the movie, the teacher asked.

"That the group is everything, you mean nothing without the group. And any group needs a leader."

She nearly had a nervous breakdown because nearly all the boys gave her this answer :D

You know Nazi's had Hitler Youth, like we have The Boy Scouts

The quoting kills the HTML, but the point remains.

School should be about education, not about indoctrination. I've seen more evidence of leftist indoctrination in public schools, but that's only because of opportunity.

Public school was never designed for kids to think for themselves, it was designed to prepare them for a life in the industrial world, asking permission for everything, taking turns, and keeping a schedule that's measured in half-minutes. The subject matter isn't nearly as important as this aspect of the education system. If you think about that for a minute, you realize that social promotion of kids that can't read really isn't all that contrary to the so called "education" system. After all, if little Johnny can't read or do sums, he still can take break when the buzzer rings at the local widget factory, and he won't cause trouble by walking around and talking to the other workers. He'll never be a supervisor or a mechanic due to lack of problem solving ability and difficulty in acquiring new knowledge, but that's not a problem as those positions are few and far between anyway.

The lack of competition in schools today is also troubling. Re, the precious snowflakes not understanding how the real world works where you have to fight and scrap to get by. Perhaps not in the literal sense, but in the figurative, everyone is against everyone else at the end of the day to put food on the table. There are tenuous alliances formed when convenient for the parties involved, but it's still a dog eat dog world. America strives for the best, and the schools should reflect this. School should be about learning to compete ethically, as well as learning, and bargaining, as well as community. When a kid is never exposed to the concept of winners and losers, it sets them up for a hard fall when they go out to the real world.

Yeah, I remember the after school special of this from when I was a kid.

Is the pledge of Allegiance indoctrination?
Because it freaks the ever living crap out of me to see kids chanting it on TV.

Just look at how the Left has created an army of speech-oppressing haters.

Dr.Fey: http://www.geniebusters.org/915/wave_statements.html

You have to remember when reading things like this that right during the time of the events, as soon as the teacher let them students know that it was an experiment and that they were basically being 'nazi-fied', they IMMEDIATELY began denying being taken in by it; an "It didn't happen/I didn't participate" kind of thing. The people wanted to distance themselves from it, and denial is the most obvious and direct way of doing that.

Is it safe to assume you will not be indoctrinating your daughter with any religious beliefs?
