Too much atheism and communism and hating America in today's public schools. Oh yeah, and Mark Twain.

i've been spending a lot of time with first person concentration camp survivor materials for a project i'm doing. as you'd expect, it's absolutely harrowing.

that these fat ignorant <i>coddled</i> pinheads living in the world's richest and - arguably - freest country think they are experiencing anything remotely approaching horror - much less third reich level horror - is absolutely shameful.

i would suggest ms. simic read 'we wept without tears'. <a href="http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Wept-Without-Tears-Testimonies-Sonderkommando\/dp\/0300106513" target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.amazon.com/Wept-Without-Tears-Testimon...">http://www.amazon.com/Wept-...

<snark on> that is, if ms. simic can read.

<i>Take the commercial that Glenn Beck showed from British Progressives that explains to little children that if they do not listen to their teachers recommendations on subjects such as carbon emissions, they could have their heads blown off. </i>

Anyone citing Glenn Beck as a source should be automatically disqualified from just about everything.

<i>Taking God out of the schools has been objective #1 for decades now…. </i>

People like her who go all Godwin have no personal experience with Nazi Germany. So it's easy for them to conflate the 60 million people killed during that war with a health insurance mandate, or a textbook they don't like.

About 3000 people died on 9/11. During WWII, an average 1000 people died every hour. For six years.
