Two incidents to cover here, both via Michelle Malkin.
The first involves an ObamaCare quiz given to students at the school of a Smart Girl Politics reader’s child. The quiz asks students how many people don’t have health care, what the goals of ObamaCare are, how man people lose their insurance every day, whether federal funds can be used to pay for abortions, and whether the students think it’s a good proposal.
The students weren’t asked to write down facts checked by the Associated Press, Congressional Research Service, or Congressional Budget Office, of course. They were expected to write down what President Obama said as hard facts.
In fact, when one student stated that the President had lied, the student was told that kind of talk was unnecessary. Students in the class with opposing views were forced to remain silent or whisper amongst themselves.
The next incident involves students being taught a pro-Obama rap song. Yes, really. It’s reminiscent of students in North Korea being taught songs that praise Dear Leader. Actually, “reminiscent” isn’t quite the word. It’s the same exact thing as what’s done in North Korea.
