Actually, I don\’t believe that would come from the schools at all. I don\’t think I ever stated that I did. I agree with you that it comes from the home.
But I also want to encourage my kids to think for themselves, but most importantly have a dialogue with me.
I believe Glenn Beck has a habit of raising the fear level to a point that is unnecessary. People who parent out of fear usually wind up doing their children a disservice by trying to control them too forcefully.
Parents who are active in their childs\’ school know if they agree with the curriculum or not. I believe there are very few teachers out there that are teaching our children to \”disobey\” or \”not trust\” their parents. He deliberately says things that are inflammatory- which I find in poor taste.

I am all for our children growing up to be better people than we are, but do you really believe that this is going to come from our schools and teachers rather than from you as the mother. I think you missed Glenn’s point. I saw the show. He was making the point that our children are being taught that they are more capable right now than you are as their parents, and that they don’t need to listen to you. As a mother myself this is not something I encourage in my children. They need to listen to me now and as they grow older they need to make choices and decisions with their own minds. Even if their choices conflict with mine. I admit Glenn can be rather scary at times but he has opened my eyes to things I did not know were going on. When I look, I see that these things are happening and how they affect my life.

I call it \”Fox Spews\”- because it can hardly be considered news.

this is an excellent post. I am so glad I was clicking through your older writing. Glenn Beck is a douche but what’s worse is so many don’t think so. he is ridiculous and so is Fox News. they are all about drive-by journalism there. no facts just sound bites that the cattle (meaning the non-opinionated because they lack the drive to gather all the information) just grab onto. Ask the every day Fox News watcher if they clicked over to CNN or MSNBC lately. Yea, didn’t think so but people like us? Always leary and need to know what those douches at Fox are up to.
