Watchwoman:<\/strong><\/span> Take notice, if you haven’t already, how every TV program, every movie, every book, all the newspaper items, even comic strips, ad infinitum, ALWAYS stress the poor, underpaid teacher — well, if you believe that, you’re brainwashed.\u00a0 They are NOT underpaid. Frequently, teachers make considerably more than the parents of the children they teach and earn more than the average wage in the city in which they teach.\u00a0 Don’t think so?\u00a0Additionally, they recruit your children to deliver home to you taxpaying parents, carefully crafted fliers on why you MUST pass the next levy or ELSE you’re going to suffer along with your children.\u00a0 They are taught to be skilled con artists educated by the likes of the rules of the radicals as described below<\/span><\/strong>.\u00a0 If your children are in public government, brainwashing, indoctrination centers, they are being taught to hate your morals, your Christian Bible-believing religion, while you and your worldview is denigrated — but if it’s Mother Earth, Gaia, Sophia, Oprah, Islam, humanism, communism, Marxism, multiculturalism, etc., then praise the demigods!\u00a0\u00a0 These evil religions I just mentioned are practiced by leftists who call themselves tolerant.\u00a0 Students learn about them in a positive light.\u00a0 They enjoy May Day celebrations. They might dress like Muslims and eat Ramadan foods on another. They even have cross dressing events on very special days. Why do you have your child in a hostile anti-Christian, anti-Christ environment that encourages every thing but the God of the Bible?

Revealed: Use students as propaganda in contract negotiations<\/h1>\n

Quotes almost verbatim Saul Alinksy\u2019s \u201cRules For Radicals.\u201d<\/h2>\n

by Becket\u00a0Adams<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"\u201cFor more than two years, the Michigan Education Association [MEA] has had a manual that urges its members to use students as propaganda in contract negotiations and also lays out how to organize strikes,\u201d writes Tome Gantert of Michigan Capitol Confidential<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Considering the fact that teacher strikes are illegal in Michigan, some may find it odd that the MEA has been encouraging this sort of behavior. In fact, the MEA has done a lot more than just \u201cencourage\u201d potentially illegal activity. As\u00a0Gantert reports, the organization produced an\u00a0anonymously written 28-page manual titled, \u201cBuilding Full Capacity Locals \u2014 Crisis Planning, It\u2019s Never Too Early To Start!<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n

While much of the rhetoric in this \u201ccrisis planning\u201d handbook is unsettling (\u201dThe worst time to plan for a crisis is when you are in the middle of one, so crisis planning should commence at the same time that planning for actual bargaining begins\u201d),\u00a0perhaps the most disturbing moment occurs when one section appears to quote almost verbatim Saul Alinksy\u2019s \u201cRules For Radicals.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Saul Alinsky<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Alinsky instructs his followers to \u201cPick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it<\/a>.\u201d Likewise, the MEA manual instructs teachers to \u201cPick a target\u2014personalize\u2014and polarize the opposition [pg. 17].\u201d And those are just the verbatim quotes; the entire <\/em>manual is a handbook for creating, managing, and profiting from crises.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the MEA were unavailable for comment when The Blaze contacted them for more information.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s really troubling about this publication isn\u2019t what\u2019s inside, it\u2019s right there on the cover.\u00a0This organization has decided it is above the law that has empowered them so much in so many other ways,\u201d said Paul Kersey, director of labor policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, according to the Michigan Capitol Confidential<\/a> article.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have given them the authority to represent employees who individually may not support them, and to collect dues and agency fees from them and have them fired if they refuse. But the union does not feel it is bound by the law\u2019s prohibition of government strikes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The manual states that the \u201cMEA\u2026supports and defends its members who engage in a strike,\u201d which, again, is illegal in Michigan.<\/p>\n

But if an out-and-out strike isn\u2019t your thing, don\u2019t worry! With a variety of passive aggressive protest methods, the manual has you covered. One of the passive methods suggested by the MEA is \u201cWork-To-Rule\u201d actions where employees refuse to do anything outside of what is included in their contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnderstand that a local is limited only by its collective imagination when it comes to specific work-to-rule actions,\u201d the manual states. \u201cIf you carefully examine your contract you will probably find a number of work-to-rule opportunities. Keep in mind, however, that you don\u2019t want to violate the contract or past practice; you want to adhere to it \u2026 exactly!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"And of course, what union protest would be complete without the exploitation of children in the bargaining process?<\/p>\n

\u201cIn terms of a bargaining message, the public responds most positively when we talk about children, quality in the classroom and the future,\u201d the MEA manual states.\u00a0\u201cThere may come a time when it\u2019s appropriate to talk about money and benefits, but lay the groundwork first.\u201d<\/p>\n

The manual even suggests one slogan that it claims has worked for other locals: \u201cIt\u2019s not about dollars and cents; it\u2019s about our children.\u201d<\/p>\n
