I think it is about time that so many Jollywoodies and Commie teachers who hate everything American should leave our country one way or another, you liberal/progressive/Marxists don't like it here and your ashamed of being a WHITE AMERICAN or ANY AMERICAN get the hell off this continent as I am sure there is someplace better suited to your philosophy and mental prowess.

Liberal university indoctrinating students to believe the Founding Fathers were terrorists

The Founding Fathers of the United States were some of the greatest men to ever walk the face of our planet. They were brilliant thinkers, hard workers and brave individuals who took great risks and made major sacrifices in order to create the best country the world has ever known. For Americans all over the country, these men should be revered and respected, yet the Leftists running our universities have taken it upon themselves to teach their students that the Founding Fathers were all evil monsters who hated everyone who wasn’t exactly like them.

Perhaps the worst offenders of spreading these kinds of lies are Jared Benson and Nicholas Lee of the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. The two men have been teaching their students that the men who created our great nation were violent crybabies – kind of like Benson and Lee actually are.

William Nardi of The College Fix reports, “Calling the Founding Fathers ‘terrorists,’ Benson and Lee voice criticism and cynicism against many of the events leading up to the Revolutionary War, teaching students the founding ideals were ‘merely a fabrication for a social movement’ — a means to an end for the colonist elites who were tired of England’s control and needed the gullible masses to help them break free.”

Leftists like Benson and Lee hate America and are ashamed of being American. They are among the most dangerous members of the Regressive Left, because they are warping the minds of our youth to believe that they should apologize for being born in the United States. They are cancerous to the future success of the nation. By telling people that there is nothing good about our country, that it was founded by awful “terrorists,” you ensure that they are not ever going to become patriotic and they are never going to want to fight for anything American.

Furthermore, calling the Founding Fathers terrorists is simply untrue. While they rebelled against Great Britain, they were most accurately rebelling against a tyrannical government that wanted to control their every move. This desire for freedom is one of the strongest American values of all, and it is something that has allowed us to become the greatest country in the world. Expecting people like Benson and Lee to understand this is pointless; guilt-ridden idiots of that nature are beyond repair.

The students they are teaching are another story, though, and we should be doing everything we can to ensure they’re told the truth.

one, The fact that you think liberalism and communism are the same thing is more than enough evidence to show that you should have studies under one of them. Who knows, you may have learned something!

Did you notice the //// separating any words in here. Guess not or else you would be too ignorant to comprehend the meaning and use of such things. Although I guess you wold know as you probably studied under a Communist type education system so please inform the rest of us just what the major disparities/differences would be separating Communist-Liberal-Progressive-Marxist philosophy's. Thanks in advance for your learned response.

ROGER THAT recon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a your welcome to all these sniveling progressive slags. I just read an article by Mike Rowe the dirty job guy. He commented on this verysubject. He pretty much said that if these colleges and students really hate this country and what it stands for why are they accepting federal dollars/our tax dollars? He also went on to say that the so called educators should also be teaching their students that of all the countries in the world and all our hairy warts (I just put that in myself HA) we have the most liberty in the world. So if they can find anywhere else that provides the freedoms and liberties the U.S. has go for it and move. I mean really! No one is going to stop them. Take care.

The Democrats/Communists has been working on the dumbing down/brainwashing since the late 50's hoping to form a voter base of 100% STUPIDS voting for them.Communist style like the old USSR

I do believe they have succeeded with 95% of the Demonrat party thanks to some like Soros with his money and influence with illegal corporations and organizations. But then our stand down useless Congress has not helped nor benefited the American conservative peoples in 16+ years and yes I include the OWO Bushies as no better than Obama. The liberal/Commie Demonrats and RINOs are like a drunk who has lost his inhibitions because of a loose and foggy mindset created by a mental disorder stemming from a liberal mental disease.

Okay, I'll take a shot at explaining the differences between liberalism and communism as I see them.

As a liberal, I believe there are some services that should be socialized so they are available to every citizen: a socialized police force and fire department, not privately owned security forces that require payment for their protection; a socialized military to defend our country, not private contractors like Blackwater; socialized education that guarantees equal access and equal quality education to all of us, rather than private schools that skim off the "cream" and then brag about what a good job they do; socialized transportation networks, not privately owned roads and bridges that charge tolls and that I have read are a big part of Trump's plan to "rebuild" our infrastructure; and socialized health care, since I also believe that access to doctors, hospitals, and medicine, is a right, not just a privilege for those who can afford them.

I also believe that capitalism is an efficient way to produce goods and most other services, but with one qualification. I think capitalism works in the interest of ordinary people as well as the one percent who control the big corporations only IF it is thoughtfully regulated. The job of those who manage corporations is to create profits for the corporations' owners. They are not hired to treat their employees well, protect the health and well being of their customers, and avoid polluting the environment unless those activities also contribute to the corporation's profits. I don't think we can rely on the corporations' stockholders or boards of directors to run their corporations for the benefit of the workers and the environment, or to be overly concerned about the health and safety hazards their products may pose, unless an agency that represents us insists that they do those things. So I think the FDA, the EPA, the Department of Labor, the Department of Health and Human Services, etc., are needed to protect us. Yes, there are stupid regulations and stupid bureaucrats who enforce them, but that does not mean we should do away with regulations, only that we should make them more sensible.

That does not make me a communist. Communists want a completely socialized economy, with the government owning all means of production. I believe that according to Marxist theory, this highly authoritarian and controlling government is expected to eventually fade away and be replaced by "true" communism, but I don't think we have ever seen any "communist" government moving in that direction.

Of course I disagree with much of what you wrote, BUT you did a very good job of laying out your argument. Liberals on OPP tend to not do what you just did. They are very defensive and insult those of us who dare disagree.

I unfortunately do not have the time to go through all of your excellent points of argument, so let me just dispute the obvious ones. First, education. Now you will I hope agree that all of us no matter our occupations tend to look out for ourselves first. Your problem with privatized education is that you feel that public institutions serve the needs of students and their parents better than for profit institutions such as Charter Schools. If I have misstated your position, please correct me.

I would argue that private charter schools who must compete for students, on the whole have more incentives to serve students better than public institutions who will get their money no matter what. I know back in my day the public schools were great. Particularly the elementary schools of the early 1960s. Having read about failing public schools in places like Washington DC, I believe Charter schools are a better option.

Health care is another area where the more the government meddles the more costs go up and service goes down. You give away free anything and it gets abused. I have a relative who is a nurse in an ER and she sees the abuse of those who refuse to take any responsibility for themselves as long as they get somebody else to foot the bill. They are regulars in the ER. Month after month they show up. No way are they paying for anything.

Charter schools are not private schools. They are public schools funded with taxpayer money (sometimes supplemented by grants from organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation). They have more freedom to experiment and are not bound by all the regulations of "traditional" public schools, but they are still government-funded. Some of them do a very good job, and some have turned out to be very ineffective. I think that was the point of the state and federal government encouraging the formation of charter schools: to see if public schools could do a better job of educating a cross section of American children. One of the problems I see with charter schools is that people have seen them as an opportunity to turn a profit, so corporations have been set up to "package" charter schools and contract with school districts to provide "alternative" education. Again, some of these corporations are sincerely trying to provide an improved education, but some of them are only in it for the money. Read up on the pros and cons of KIPP schools, which now runs over 200 charter schools across the country. I think their original idea was great, the execution, at least in some places, not so much. Full disclosure: I am a retired public school teacher and coach.

I think we will have to agree to disagree. I am in favor of anything that brings competition into education. There are some very bad public schools that have defied being fixed. The public school Teachers unions have opposed school choice because it impacts their employment. President Obama has chosen those unions over the kids. Here is my evidence.

I would say what we need more of in education is cooperation, not competition. Charter schools were supposed to be educational laboratories where innovative methods could be tried, and if they were successful, adopted by other schools. But many charter schools actually force their teachers to sign non-disclosure agreements and non-compete clauses in their contracts which say they will be fined if they disclose "proprietary" teaching methods or go to work for another school in the area the charter school draws students from. Yes, teachers' unions want their members to get decent salaries and fringe benefits and to not be required to do non-teaching tasks like serving as bus monitors before and after school, but they also want schools where students succeed. After all, those students will pay the taxes that support the schools in years to come. It is in teachers' interests to prepare them to lead successful, productive lives.

In Minnesota, where I live, we have state wide open enrollment, meaning a student can attend any public school in the state unless the school he or she wants to attend has opted out of the program or has no room for additional students. Interestingly, the main impact of this program has been to reduce enrollment at smaller rural schools as students move to larger schools that offer more courses at the high school level. Rules have also had to be put in place to discourage transfers solely to participate in more successful athletic programs. We also have a program called Post Secondary Educational Options, which allows high school junior and seniors to attend any college or university that will accept them during their junior and senior years. If feasible, the students can attend college for part of the day and high school for the other part. Many schools also have cooperative agreements with area community colleges that allow college level classes to be taught in the high school by teachers who meet the college's requirements. Of course, there are also AP and IB classes available in many high schools. My take on voucher plans is that the most important consideration is to hold down the amount of money the state spends on education. Certainly our state, though it is better than most, has not kept up with inflation in what it spends on either the public schools or state-supported higher education. I think our society has lost faith in the value of education, even though there is ample evidence that a good education makes a huge difference in the quality of people's lives.

reconreb, Liberalism and communist or even democratic socialists come from different sources and are essentiality opposed to each other. Liberalism started out as the party of the new middle class ( capitalists ). They demanded an equal place in society. The conservatives represented the old aristocrats in Europe. They owned the land, but not the factories. Socialism came about as a political movement of workers who were being victimized by the aristocrats and the factory owners. Liberalism now usually takes the parts of minority, and other politically disadvantaged persons. The conservatives now represent the interests of corporate America, although so do the Democrats. Liberalism is a reform movement. It doesn't seek to overthrow society, just fair and democratic treatment to all. Communism is a movement that want to overthrow the existing order and replace it with a Marxist society.
