FOXNews.com - Ohio High School Accused of Promoting Political Agenda in Classroom
An Ohio high school teacher's giving students job applications for a Democratic organization that included suggested radical reading material has raising concerns of indoctrination in the classroom.
The government teacher at Perry High School in Massillon, Ohio, handed out forms recruiting students to intern for Organizing for America, a grassroots organization with direct ties to the Democratic National Committee and the successor organization for Obama for America.
Included on the forms was a suggested reading list that included Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals" and Organizing for America's mission to build on the "movement that elected President Obama by empowering students across the country to help us bring about our agenda of change."
No Republican equivalent was offered to the students, according to Perry schools' Superintendent John Richard.
In a Feb. 1, 2010, letter obtained by FoxNews.com, Gregoire apologized to parents, saying the incident was "not acceptable."
"We apologize that your son or daughter was given this information without approval," Gregoire wrote. "This error in following Board Policy has been addressed and has been clearly communicated to staff." Click here to read the letter.
The teacher should be summarily fired. All internship opportunities should be posted in the library and none should be given preferential treatment over the others.
Promotion for "Organize Obama" is toward the recruitment of his "brown shirts" and those who will endorse activist education in public schools as endorsed and promoted in the past by the former domestic terrorist William Ayers.

But, but..it's only 2 schools now that have done it by mistake.
I guess the TEACHERS didn't know they were promoting political agendas.
But, one would think teachers should know that already.
