What does the image above mean to you? Something isn’t right with it and it should be fairly obvious immediately.
At “A” High School, the English and History classes coordinate their coverage of the same subjects, in this case the Depression. Today’s “graded discussion” turned on how McDonald’s is taking over the world. It was not positive, as you can imagine. Then our lovely English teacher offered up the above image, coaxing from the kids the desired response that our service people are fighting and dying in Iraq and Afghanistan for big business and consumerism, in this case, on behalf of the especially evil McDonald’s.
I don’t want to get into defending McDonald’s, they can do that on their own.
Why are we allowing teachers to continually push a radical agenda in the classroom especially when that agenda routinely targets this nation’s military? What have we personally done that has turned us into such horrible people that we are not fighting for the freedom of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan, but for the interests of American corporations such as McDonald’s?
Perhaps another question begging to be asked is the origin of the image used and the motivation behind it’s creation. Those opposed to the war seem to think we invaded both Iraq and Afghanistan not in search of Bin Laden, to topple the Taliban and Saddam, to search for WMD, and spread democracy across the middle east, but to spread western civilization. I must have missed that in my pre-deployment briefs in 2007, because that was never once mentioned.
CJ has contact information on ASP if you so feel inclined to contact the school in an attempt to put a stop to the English teacher’s radical agenda. I don’t want to make you feel like it a lost cause, but I have a feeling you won’t reach anyone willing to listen. Instead focus on teaching your children what radical teachers tend to forget.
