Changing preamble in the schools?

BLAZE EXCLUSIVE: SOCIALIST MANTRA HIDDEN IN GRADE SCHOOL CHANTS

Posted on March 2, 2011 at 6:49am by Mike Opelka



The Promise Of America Is. . . Socialism? That’s exactly what is being
taught in many American public schools.



Under the guise of teaching children to read, the seeds of Socialism
are being planted within the minds of young children. Do you believe
that the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States mandates
the following?



The People’s basic needs must be met in a country. Needs for housing,
education, transportation, and health care overseen by our government
system.



Those are the words being chanted over and over and over by school
children around the country. They are part of an educational program
called Building Fluency Through Practice and Performance. This section
is called ‘The Promise of America’ and it breaks down the fifty-two
word single sentence that is the Preamble. Here is the original:



We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect
Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the
common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings
of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish
this Constitution for the United States of America.



Disguised as a reading exercise, the Preamble has been turned into a
five page choral project with commentary planted inside this very
simple sentence. Here is an example. Make note of what the children
(R5, R6, & R7) are being asked to read after the words ‘promote the
general welfare’:





People’s basic needs must be met in a country.



Needs for housing, education, transportation and health care, overseen
by our government system.



When did the Preamble or the Constitution include the government
meeting the people’s needs for housing, transportation and health
care?



Instead of teaching the Preamble and Constitution as it is written,
schools from coast to coast are indoctrinating children to Socialism
thanks to a company called Teacher Created Materials. TCM sells ‘The
Promise of America’ to thousands of school districts all across the
country as well as over 100 countries around the world. Several phone
calls to TCM, its‘ printing company Shell Education and New York City
sales outlet Sussman Sales provided little specific data on just how
many schools are currently using the ’Promise of America, ‘ but one
company rep told The Blaze the “Fluency program is really really
popular.”



This kind of training is reminiscent of Soviet-style indoctrination
and the recent stories leaking out of North Korea in the summer of
2009 when Kim Jong il was reportedly close to stepping down and
handing over control to his son.



Dong-A Ilbo (the country’s official newspaper) stated that North Korea
notified its diplomatic offices and is teaching its people a song in
praise of the anointed leader.



The North Korean school children started learning the song first.
Indoctrination starts with the young ones.



A tip of the hat to the brave volunteer from the 9/12 Project, a
teacher who sent us this shocking hand out.
