Is Our Children Being Brainwashed

Yes I know, the title to this post is grammatically challenged, merely a nod to W’s “Is our children learning” line. But seriously, whatever happened to teaching reading, writing and ‘rithmatic???

“The first high school dedicated to preparing students for the front lines in the Nation’s homeland security has gone from theory to planning in Wilmington.

Curriculum choices for students, who are to be called Cadets, range from SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) through prison guard, water rescue, paramedic, fireman, professional demolition and emergency response operator, according to a Board statement.

To meet personal curriculum goals, all physically capable cadets are to attend a daily after-school exercise program. In addition, two hours of after-school sports or homeland security training will be available for cadet volunteers.”

I can just see the extra-credit project on waterboarding now…
