Holocaust lesson gets out of hand Students in Texas said a three-week lesson that assigned students the roles of Germans and Jews during the Holocaust got out of hand when some students took the role-playing too far and the "Germans" spat and hit the "Jews". The exercise in the Ninth Grade Academy school's Advanced Placement Geography course Waxahachie, 50 kilometres south of Dallas, was meant to bring home the reality of intolerance during the Holocaust, school officials said. Students and teachers said the students tagged as Jews were forced to stand against the wall as those portraying Germans passed by in the hallway. The Jewish students were also the last to eat lunch and had to pick up everyone's garbage, the station reported. Some students said the exercise got out of hand when the "German" students spat on or hit the Jewish students. "They would spit on them. They would push them down the stairs. They would be really rude," student Tiffany Zimmerman said. "I think it was too rough and over the edge." The point of the class was "learning about the problems of intolerance and the problems of discrimination and helping kids understand what some people went through to change the world," Principal John Aune told a Dallas-Fort Worth television station. Aune said this was the fifth year the school has run the Holocaust exercise. He said he had not received any reports of students spitting, pushing or tripping one another. "I think that some of the kids were kind of harsh, but it taught us a little bit about how it was back then," student Trevor Smith said.

WTF? What kind of BS is this? Have Texans lost their minds?

Amazing.

The Waxahachie Holocaust Project received very little complaints from the parents. Only one parent, who didn't even contact the school, made contact with the media ... anonymously. The parents are more afraid of being labeled as Anti-Semites than making sure their children receive a good education. People in Waxahachie need to come to forums like these to get educated!

Armed Men Terrorize School -- By Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones A recent incident in which armed riot police raided a Michigan junior and high school as part of a drill that the children were not aware was about to take place raises the bar in the pursuit of an agenda to fully transform public schools into prison training camps set up to breed continuous generations of obedient slaves. The Associated Press reports, "A school safety drill that included police officers in riot gear with weapons has caused concern among some parents who say it was too realistic and frightened some students." "Students, who were unaware police were conducting a drill, were taken from the classroom into the halls, patted down by officers and asked what they had in their pockets, the newspaper said." "Some of these kids were so scared, they just about wet their pants," said Marge Bradshaw, a parent with four children in Godfrey-Lee Schools. "I think it's pure wrong that the students and parents were not informed of this." The students were not told that the drill was about to take place and the teachers were given just a moments notice. This follows an incident in early October where another Michigan school was locked down for hours after a teenager was seen in the woods wearing a Halloween mask. The raid is similar to past examples such as Goose Creek South Carolina (video below), where armed police raided a high school with weapons drawn supposedly in search of drugs. Shouting officers aimed guns at students heads as they were ordered face-up against the wall, then into Guantanamo style squats as they were handcuffed and K9 dogs sniffed their backpacks. No drugs were found and the Goose Creek Police Department, the city, as well as the Berkeley County School District had to pay $1.6 million for violating the rights of nearly 150 students caught in the raid. The three had to sign a consent decree barring similar activities in future but it included a waver where probable cause or voluntary consent could be cited to conduct further raids. Having armed men terrorize children is by design and it is intended to normalize the police state and train students to accept it as a routine function of society when they leave school. Footage from other school raid drills where police in riot gear point MP5's at students is included in the footage below, taken from Alex Jones' 9/11: The Road To Tyranny . FBI storm troopers in black uniforms and helmets scream and cuss at children in one instance before loading them on buses and taking them to a local jail. In Fort Worth Texas, the cop of the year was shot in the head by one of his own officers in another school drill. Also highlighted is the Heartland Christian Academy school siege where CPS and police kidnapped hundreds of children without a warrant. Watch in horror as children filled with terror are forcibly dragged from their screaming mothers and loaded onto prison buses. A federal judge later barred CPS from removing children from the school in future but vaguely defined provisions remained in place where it could be justified. Michigan is the epicenter of the agenda to mould all schools into youth internment centers, indoctrinating all children to accept the presence of surveillance cameras, biometric scanning to access buildings and buy food, ID tracking cards and men in uniforms pointing guns at them as normal. Allied to this is the openly stated agenda not to educate but to dumb down students and brainwash them with bizarre humanist rhetoric about the evils of the family, all in preparation for their smooth acquiescence into enslaved adulthood as a downtrodden worker bee under the control matrix of the elite. From the very foundation of the public school system the elite made their plans clear. The goal was to psychologically mould people to create mindless drones and bricks in the wall of the system, via learning monotonously by rote and the day being divided up by pavlovian bells. In his 1905 dissertation for Columbia Teachers College, Elwood Cubberly—the future Dean of Education at Stanford—wrote that schools should be factories "in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished products...manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing will come from government and industry." Similarly, the Rockefeller Education Board—which funded the creation of numerous public schools—issued a statement which read in part: "In our dreams...people yield themselves with perfect docility to our molding hands. The present educational conventions [intellectual and character education] fade from our minds, and unhampered by tradition we work our own good will upon a grateful and responsive folk. We shall not try to make these people or any of their children into philosophers or men of learning or men of science. We have not to raise up from among them authors, educators, poets or men of letters. We shall not search for embryo great artists, painters, musicians, nor lawyers, doctors, preachers, politicians, statesmen, of whom we have ample supply. The task we set before ourselves is very simple...we will organize children...and teach them to do in a perfect way the things their fathers and mothers are doing in an imperfect way." These are the founders of the public education system in America. The agenda from the very start was to eliminate all forms of objective thought and use education to produce automatons of the state who would shrink from embracing higher forms of intellectual pursuit and truly understanding their role and potential to advance freedom in human society. When this insipid abuse of the power that the architects hold to shape minds of the future is homogenized with the jackboot thuggery of the proto-police state cameras and security minions that stalk the hallways and corridors - the result is a pack of trained rats, subdued and conditioned to follow the every command of their masters from cradle to grave. In September 2004, the Muskegon Chronicle reported on a drill that revolved around a mock terrorist attack on a Michigan school bus. The terrorist group were labeled, "Wackos Against Schools and Education who believe everyone should be homeschooled." The mock attack was funded by a Homeland Security grant and required the participation of students to act bloody and injured, also involving hospitals, morgues and mannequins painted up to look like dead children, as parents were ordered to dash to emergency rooms frantic in the belief that their child had perished. The Muskegon Area Intermediate School District later had to apologize for characterizing homeschoolers as terrorists after hundreds of complaints poured in. Stereotypes consistently propped-up by the media demonize homeschoolers as hicks, retards and extremists, despite the fact the local and national spelling bees are routinely won by homeschooled children . The ceaseless attack on homeschooling is an attempt to neutralize any alternatives parents have to placing their children in the state run re- education gulags known as the "public school system." In April 2005 a 5-year-old Florida girl was manhandled and handcuffed by police after she had a tantrum. Cases of zealous clampdowns by the authorities in schools are rife and pretext for the imposition of draconian measures of surveillance and armed security thugs is provided by regular school shootings across the country. In almost every case the shooter is hopped up on a combination of the Ritalin- style substances that have become prevalent in America as our children are force-drugged with dangerous toxic trash, not to mention the increasing amount of mandatory vaccinations, and turned into mumbling nervous wrecks - all the natural zest and innocence of childhood cruelly raped from them by the state. One in seven children are on Ritalin and other dangerous psychotropic drugs which make them swing between drooling in the corner at one point and then acting wildly the next. These numbers are only increasing. Children are put on these drugs in the first place for the most inane and insane reasons, such as raising their hand to answer questions in class too often. In other cases, like Columbine , the shootings are deliberately aided by the state apparatus to manipulate popular opinion and pass gun control legislation as well as increase the chorus for more school lock-downs and restrictive and oppressive control measures. We will continue to see armed men terrorize our children, aim guns at their head and indoctrinate them to accept living under tyranny unless parents and teacher organizations band together to file huge lawsuits against those responsible and we vehemently denounce the insidious Sovietization of the public school system.
Michigan raid part of unfolding agenda to mould schools into prisons and students into obedient slaves

Why any parent would have their children in gov schools is beyond me.

I noticed recently that MSNBC has had a ton of shows about incarceration in America. It got me to thinking ... Why is MSNBC so big in this area? Why are they pushing the incarcerated? Being a cynic, I assume bad motives. I was right. MSNBC is owned by General Electric. On a hunch, I went looking for and found that GE is a major player in the private prisons industry. Of course, they're also major defense contractors. Alex Jones is right. This is all part of incrimental change, moving us into the police state further. They want the public to demand armed police who look and act like soldiers in schools, airports, and other public events. They want us to feel unsafe unless we are putting people in prisons and having armed men around us in every day life.

Kudos on your research Paul Revere. Don't forget about Smith Barney and American Express that also invested in the private prison construction. Also look up Westinghouse, a subsidiary in prison construction. If you have time, pick up The Politics of Meaning by Michael Lerner. It explains how the government system, known to us as globalization, will be based solely on competitive profit-making. This system recognizes that our needs are not viewed as challenges, but as opportunities for accumulating wealth while redistributing the wealth. Edith Flynn of Northeastern University is a criminologist who openly opposes the growth of the private prison industry.

This weak-minded dependent attitude is what we must reject and resist.

I wasn't going to indulge myself. ;-) I'm only thankful that Paul Revere didn't take Alex's word for it and he researched it for himself.

you don't have to be a cynic, just observant. good post.
