Beck calls Obama's stay-in-school speech to students "indoctrination"

I mean, Glenn didn't, and look where it got him?

A bunch of money, and large bowl of crazy.

But seriously, the President calling for kids to stay in school is going to be spun by this chucklehead as something bad?

And again, the Beck world, Obama can do no right. I mean, Obama could run into a burning building, rescue 5 people from getting killed, and Beck would want to know WHY Obama didn't put out the fire.

Because we all know, kids are known for listening to authority figures...

So President Bush can read "The Pet Goat" to kids, but President Obama cannot speak to kids on the first day of school?

Psst. Glenn? Your hypocrisy is showing...

Oh, that's just because fancy book-learnin' makes you a socialist Nazi Marxist commie fascist.

Well when my son graduated from the 6th grade a couple of years ago all the kids during the ceramony where given a letter from the White House signed by GWB- its as a cheesy standard "Congratulations and I applaud your dedication to learning" cute little piece of paper that was probably giving to millions of kids across the country.

So its ok for Bush to reach out to school kids BUT when Obama does it he is building an army of pimple faced tweens? Oh give me a break

Psychotic. Pathetic. Dangerous.

Oh yeah... and well-funded.

Of course Drudge, Malkin & Beck will hyperventilate about Obama & education.

After all, they rely on ignorance, stupidity and an uneducated audience to keep their livelihoods going ...

That mother was exactly the reason I left teaching! I can quite imagine the snotty little brat she raised! I remember going out and picking up trash along the roadside in front of the school on the first Earth Day. We had no gloves or hats or safety vests, but cleaning up the environment was what President Nixon said to do, so we did it, and girls had to wear dresses in those days....and there were no permission forms, either. Glenn Beck hates society and is doing everything he can to indoctrinate his listeners into his brand of spoiled, mean behavior. He makes it very clear that he has his and he doesn't care about whether you can get yours or not, you will not get any help from him and he wants you to feel free to behave in such an anti-social manner, because concern for your fellow human is SOCIALISM!

There is a point though, young children are rather impressionable, but I do think that the woman, and obviously Beck are going to far with their resentment of what Obama is trying to do.

Please take Beck in for a check -up.He should be praising the President for challenging the kids and their families to be responsible;to use edcucation to better their lot in life so they grow up into responsible,contributing adults.This is the usual conservative answer to social problems,poverty, etc.Its the" pull yourself up by the boot straps "(even if you don'thave any boots!!!!)type speech conservatives usually make rather than support spending for any programs!Some how Beck is turning it into a facist manifesto or something!!!!

Getting kids to stay in school is indoctrination.Mr.PRESIDENT PLEASE INDOCTRINATE ALL OF THEM!!!!!

Glenn Beck is also concerned because the administration will provide educational material about the Census? They did this in 2000 as well, and I imagine that wasn't the first time either.

Listening to Beck and this loon who he is talking to is like eaves dropping in the Day Room at Happy Hills Mental Institute. Everbody - It's time to put on your tin foil hats!

Well, I guess it is true. I did not want to believe it but the far-right conservatives, and probably most conservatives when you get right down to it, really, really don't like having a black man for President.

That's right parents...teach your children not to respect the Presidency. Teach your children that the Presidency is illegitimate. Teach them that Democratic elections mean nothing if you dislike the outcome. All because Glenn Beck tells you so...

No Child Left Behind, Glenn

lmao, it figures Beck is anti education.

I'd say that Keith Olbermann has an obvious winner for the "Worst Person In The World" segment tonight. With Beck, it's like shooting fish in a barrel.

I really believe Beck is a victim of his past: fetal alcohol syndrome as a child and his current alcoholism have completely pickled his brain.

Are these parents afraid that one talk by the President will indoctrinate and permanently harm their children? If that's legitimate, then their offspring must have inherited their parents diminished brain power. Why not let your children hear the President's words...and if you disgree with what Obama said then explain that to your children?

They used to talk about Bush Derangement Syndrome...but that was nothing compared to the pathological and irrational hatred these people have for Barack Obama. I have a feeling this is not going to end well.

You people did not know Glen Beck got a Masters Degree in OLIGRCHY!

I just found this website. Actually, it does cross the line in my opinion. It encourages the children to help and support the president. Why would they need to do that if they are simply being told that "education is good"? I don't think indoctrination is typically the work of Captain Obvious, folks. Basically, I don't want my own children to have faith in "policy", but respect for authority is necessary to life on many levels. As for education, sometimes public education is more public (like next Tuesday), and less education.

I thank the Juedeo-Christian God every day for The Great Glenn Beck, after all, he's protecting us from such radicals as these:

* If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.
o Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Colonel Charles Yancey (January 6, 1816).

* Bigotry is the disease of ignorance, of morbid minds; enthusiasm of the free and buoyant. Education & free discussion are the antidotes of both.
o Thomas Jefferson, Letter to John Adams (August 1, 1816).
* Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.
o Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia (1781-1785), Query 6.

John Adams
* The science of government it is my duty to study, more than all other sciences; the arts of legislation and administration and negotiation ought to take the place of, indeed exclude, in a manner, all other arts. I must study politics and war, that our sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. Our sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history and naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry and porcelain.
o Letter to Abigail Adams (1780-05-12)
James Madison
* A popular Government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives.
o Letter to W.T. Barry (1822-08-04)

this is the most ignorant group of people i've ever had the displeasure to read from. the problem is he is speaking to a group of youth that has no political opinion, and is to be spoken to by the teachers, a pro dominantly liberal group, about his new senses. the problem, is that they will be spoken to by people they look to as those that give them knowledge, so obviously, they will agree to whatever they say.

Obama indeed knows this, and is explaining this to them so that in 10 years when they begin to vote, he will have a whole new generation of liberals with ideals implanted by him; obviously in his benefit.

If he wants to inform students of his plans, it should be done at home with their PARENTS to help explain to them what is happening, not their teachers. i can't believe that this many people would neglect the real message behind this. although, then again i can, because that is how he became president in the first place.

I overheard this "indoctrination" insanity last night at a restaurant. These people have been whipped into a frenzy on lies, they had no idea what the subject matter of the speech was. They were also outraged that, "no president has ever done this before!" (Really? See link below).

The misinformation guys like GB, RL and SH spew just to make their millions is unconscionable. How on Earth do they sleep at night. I heard Kilmeade open a segment with "Does the plan mean old people will be left to die?" How can these words come out of someone's mouth inciting fear and giving old folks heart attacks? I'm having a heart attack listening to them.

I hope that people see Glenn Beck for the conservative, right-wing religious fanatic that he is. After eight years of Bush it is obvious that the conservative agenda is way wrong.
