The Thirteenth Amendment to United States Constitution states, “Neither slavery nor Involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime, shall exist within the United States.”
 
Recently presidential candidate Barack Obama delivered a speech at the University of Colorado. He spoke of some of his plans as president relative to the tax-supported school system, usually referred to as “public schools,” explaining he would, “set a goal for all American middle and high school students to perform 50 hours of service a year and for all college students to perform 100 hours of service a year.”
 
The incentive for school officials to make the program compulsory will be attaching strings to federal education dollars. And when that is done, school officials will be forced to enforce the involuntary child work program in the school system.
 
I wonder how many parents know about these plans for their children. How many supporting and planning on voting for Obama know he plans on an involuntary servitude program for their child?
 
Almost everyday there is something in the news about the horrors of what goes on in the schools—teachers beating up students, students fighting and brutalizing one another, some even being killed, then putting videos of some of the happenings on the internet.
 
Just this week there was a story in the news about a young boy hanging himself in 2004 and legal wrangling as to whether or not the parents had a right to sue over his death. A teacher had given him a belt to hold up his pants and he used the belt to hang himself. This is just one of the horror stories of innocent children in the current system.
 
Tax-supported schools don’t educate, they indoctrinate. I can’t recall the name of the communist leader years ago who said, “Give me a child until he’s eight years old and I will make a communist out of him.” Billions are spent on the socialist system and things go from bad to worse. In many cases Johnny still can’t read. All communism is, is a brand name of socialism.
 
In New Orleans, after the disaster of Katrina, all the schools were destroyed and a different system replaced the old schools called “charter schools.” Public schools were replaced by “private schools.” They are called private schools, yet are still funded by tax-payer monies. This idea was the brain child of the noted economist Milton Freidman, a man who was able before he passed at age 94 to help implement around the world his policies of political and market changes known as “Shock and Awe.” We first began hearing the term when Iraq was invaded.
 
Basically, shock and awe is a strategy of changing the make-up of a particular situation, politically, socially and in the marketplace during the wake of a catastrophic event, a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. Some have referred to it as “disaster capitalism,” a situation designed to place a larger stranglehold on individual freedom and free trade and capitalism as we know it. From reports regarding the parents’ view of this different system in New Orleans, they are not happy campers over the results.
