Well I guess he is right…Sunday School is the same thing…

I think it’s safe to say Santorum is nucking futs.

This man is truly an Idiot !!!

Socialism is knowing the alphabet?

“Obviously, socialists love children, just like they love people in groups of one million or more”

Like a double rainbow.  What does it mean?  What does it mean?

The difference between indocrination and education can be seen at Mediaite. They seek to ‘inform’ through false narrative and repitition. One glance at the comments sections at Mediaite showcase the consequences. A complete lack of cogent thought, analytical ability and reasoning. Blindly following the leader. This is indoctrination and not education.Thanks socialist libs, it’s working.

Using Rick Santorum’s logic, is there not a threat of indoctrination when you send your young children to church? Shouldn’t we discourage Sunday school for young children?

What is the difference? Is some indoctrination better than others?

yet you have no problem in contributing in the ‘dialogue’.  what’s your take on Santorum’s angle? 

Jesus loves all the little children.

So…does this mean that charter schools that offer kindergarten are teaching socialist ideas?  aren’t most day-care, pre-k and kindergarten programs private anyway?

Santorum seems to miss that pre-K and kindergarten offer more than early reading and writing…it’s social interaction.  (uh, oh..I said social…the pre-cursor to socialism. duh-duh-DUNNN!).

Rick Santorum wants you to sent your Children to private conservative Christian schools, or homeschool with conservative Christian materials.

Rick Santorum has no problem with indoctrination with young children, as long as it is of the conservative Christian variety. Intolerance needs to be taught early.

Young children need to learn man walked with the dinosaurs and the earth is 6000 years old.
Young Earth Creationism is fine I am sure with Santorum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Earth_creationism

Today’s lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist extremists have resurrected a key program of indoctrination used by the National Socialism rulers of the Third Reich called the Hitler-Jugend (Hitler Youth), abbreviated HJ.  The HJ were viewed as future “Aryan supermen” – i.e., leaders of the National Socialism party -  and were indoctrinated in anti-Semitism. One aim was to instill the motivation that would enable HJ members to fight faithfully for the Third Reich and its warped ideology.  —All this is very similar to the current approach of the socialist teachers union – schools are NOT about learning, they are captive audiences for INDOCTRINATION in anti-America hatred, BIG GOVERNMENT supremacy, no freedom of speech for anybody that disagrees with them and promotion of the unrestrained greed of public-sector unions.

Unfortunately, private christian schools have the same troubles as public schools…drugs, teachers having sex with students. Same problems cause by kids who’s parents have the jack to put them into private school and bail them out when they get in trouble.

 What is this guy doing? Does he really think he has a chance at winning? 

Translation: Women shouldn’t be in the work force. 

Good for you, Rick!
I have two kids and since the age of 3, I’ve taught them to hate liberals and gays, and that the Bible is the only textbook you need. 

Can you imagine if they’d gone to public school and been in the same classroom as Mexicans and gays? As a parent, it’s my responsibility to make sure this doesn’t happen. And even worse, they’d be in the presence of  children with poor parents and I don’t want that kind of powerlessness and laziness rubbing off on my kids. 

At least someone in Washington has the guts to tell it like it is!

That mad me laugh so hard, the people in my office all turned to see what was going on. Thanks!

You say no freedom of speach, yet you got to throw out your mindless rant! There is no difference in the lies you have told here from your “little” paranoid propaganda tea bubble world and some right wing private schools. This one comment won’t bring Santorum down, but add it all up and you do have a grade A “tea nut” on your hands! You seem to know a little too much about indoctrination schools and the Third Reich”. Keep the spin and hate alive!

When children are infants to 4yrs old the parent passes along the values, behavoir, attitudes and moral structure as well as character development to their children along with education on a variety of subjects. Setting the foundation for their lifelong development. Parents have always done this in the past by parents being home to teach their child. Children in classes in daycares/schools, pick up the morality and philosophies of their caregiver/teacher. Being within a class of other children the same age, they develop more as a part of a group than having independent skills. Sheeple.

Santorum is looking for a future position in a Republican administration.

I also suspect Santorum really believes what he says, and he is using this run as a soapbox. Scary stuff!

Your methadone use or misuse needs to be monitored.

Please ask Mr Santorum how much it cost the state of Pennsylvania when he home schooled his kids when he was a senator and living in Virginia?

Pandering to the wing nuts will come back to bite him. 

I agree. Name one person of importance who went to a public school.
None. Zero.
Everyone who ever contributed to society was home schooled.

^ CLASSIC

HILARIOUS

KEEP EM STUPID SANTORUM

Man if he’s looking for a future position in the a republican administration that give me even more reason to vote democrat.

The fact that they have you buy your kids school supplies,and then carry them in and drop them in a box to be”shared “with the entire class is an example of socialist indoctrination of children.these kids go in with theirs belongings proud to have them on their first day and the teacher then informs them that No,these belong to the entire class.B.S. these were the childs personal belongings,that their parent worked to pay for,let the other parents do the same.
.

ooh..I have an answer to that one:  Donald Rumsfeld….graduated from public school. its a fact.

…and the game of pool is a representation of the conflict of race in our country. The white ball takes out the yellow, orange and brown balls (along with the others, of course, to show it’s fair) but the game isn’t over until the black ball is completely taken out of the game.  Why are the pool tables green…to represent a happy-clappy landscape known as the US of A.

Oh…and milk is a politically correct drink because it wasn’t okay to just have plain white milk…we had to add chocolate to that too. 

Thanks for inspiring me, “guest”.  I knew that one day the truth would come out.

This from a dirt bag that lived in Virginia while being a PA Senator and Charter schooling his children on PA taxpayers dime. This man us true scum of the earth

You don’t know what your talking about the article is right on and I got a big laugh at what Rick Santorum saying what he said is wrong and baseless. The article isn’t indocrination as you have claim which is a lie and everything else you said is baseless without any facts or proof.

All claims are lies and your teaching your kids to hate which is wrong. You should be teaching your kids to like not preaching them to hate gays which is wrong and your being judgemental as well just like your pal Rick Santorum. You don’t what you are talking about other than spreading lies and hate.

Thanks for the laugh Rick I went to pre-school which was pretty good and I support pre-school. I went to both private school from Pre-8TH grade I felt like I wasn’t getting the help I needed from private school. And public school and I got the help I needed from the public school which I didn’t get indoctrated to become a socialist Rick. Rick Santorum believes that The Smurfs was the hand book for kids to become socialist which is ridiculous just like your claims on early childhood education.

Let’s do something about the jews, the boys in the hood and we need to pep up those Muslins while we’re at it!

You have spoken the truth.

It is possible for a child to survive public education, but only those with independent genes that have been programmed to think for themselves. Public education’s incessant liberal indoctrination then simply becomes a mind excersize the resistence of which is to further strengthen the successful freedom lovers mind.  The rest simply fall into line and become the mind knumbed robots that have been spared the intellectual capacity to descern. 

We’re indoctrinating children yet people like you are still out here. How is that possible? Surely not every tea bagger and RW nutjob had a private education. Most of you can’t afford to date someone other than your sister much less go to a private school. This is the dumbest argument I’ve ever heard about public education.

If Santorum keeps up this level of cloddish nonsense, his name will become synonymous with “shitstain.”

Oh, wait . . .

Yes it’s been a socialist plot for some time to seek out children who are predisposed to conservatism and turn them into mushbrains. They still adhere to conservative doctrine, but — as you have so helpfully pointed out — they are unable to think cogently, take a dump without instructions transmitted via tinfoil, or successfully complete a beginner sudoku puzzle.

Through this, socialist libism will conquer the world!

“Sharing” is socialism? What a drab, wretched life you must lead.

Sometimes satire doesn’t work on the Internet.

You need to read TPN’s posts more often if you think this is the supidest thing he/she has come up with. Somehow, TPN has tapped into a bottomless pool of dumb.

I’m thinking a combination of home schooling and chewing lead-based paint chips as a toddler.

He’s doing what the RW nut jobs do:  playing to peoples’ fears, racism and hatred.

John Lennon went to public school…

I guess when your starting to lose the crazy of the crazy of your party you have to crank up the looney talk a couple of notches.  

I think you’re confusing it with Fox viewers.  

If Santorum, thank goodness no longer my Senator, does not believe in government funded education why did he rip off the tax payers of a district where his children did not live until he was caught? His wife only started home schooling his spawn when the school district which was paying for his children’s charter school proved the children no longer lived in the district. If is questionable if they EVER lived in the district.

Ricky Baby bought a tiny house (too small for his family) to establish residence in Allegheny County when he was actually living in Virginia. He let his sister live in the house to make it look lived in. When the family visited Pittsburgh they stayed with family because they could not live in the house he owned.

I hope Virginia enjoyed having a third Senator. Pennsylvania sure lacked one for all those 12 years.

Just think, Rick Santorum as Secretary of Education!

I have been trying to come up with the Right Wing’s Dream Team for the election next year.
Michelle Bachmann for President,Herman Cain for VP,Sarah Palin for Secretary of State (she can see Russia don’t ya know),   The real question is who would be Secretary of State in the second year? Maybe John Bolton?Allan West for Secretary of Defense (he already has a higher security clearance than the President)Ron Paul for Secretary of the Treasury (but just until the Chair of the Federal Reserve opens up)Roy Moore for Attorney General (The Ten Commandments replaces the Constitution)Rick Santorum for Secretay of Education (I just added that one)Mitt Romney for Secretary of Labor (he’s such a job creator–not)
Tim Pawlenty for Secretary of Transportation (he’s an expert on bridge maintenance, I35-W disaster)
Secretay of Interior (OPEN) Maybe George W Bush, he was an oil company officer?
Jimmy McMillan for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (just to fill the quota of nut cases)

What offices am I overlooking? First Supreme Court nominee: Alberto Gonzales maybe.

Public schools like to rely on standardized testing to monitor what the kids are learning. Across the board, homeschooled kids are scoring higher than publicly schooled kids. It just makes sense that kids learn better when they are 1:1 with a teacher instead of 1:30. Our public schools suck, in case you haven’t noticed. Public school kids in the USA score signifigantly lower in math and science than kids in other countries. Most parents who homeschool are doing it to make sure that their kids actually learn something other than how to party and have sex. It isn’t just about the evangelical religious right anymore. We aren’t religious and we homeschool because our local public schools are terrible.

If we could find strong conservative people willing to work for what teachers make, the system would be saved.
