Ohio Public School Caught Recruiting Democrat Operatives
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 an interview with FoxNews.com on Wednesday, Richard acknowledged that distribution of the forms violated school policy and said they were never submitted to school administrators for approval, but the teacher remains on the job.

The teacher in question should be investigated as to whether he/she has ties to the DNCC or any organizations with Socialist and/or subversive agendas.
This is an obvious case of attempted indoctrination.

Teachers try doing the same for the RNC and see how fast you get called into the office. Just another example of the double standard at work.
FBO!
Progressives, Unions, Fascists, Nazis....they are all the same. What do you expect when Ohio elects Sherrod Klown to senate and Ted Strichnine as governor. These are tactics of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia. If you want to end up dying in a gulag...do nothing. If you don't....it's time for the guillotines.

Parents need to begin demanding "Zero Tolerance" from their local school systems. Every time there is an instance of poor decision-making, poor teaching practices, DEMAND that someone lose their job(s). Turn the "Zero Tolerance" policies back on the school administrators!
-WE THE PEOPLE-
This is un-fricking-believable! This teacher should be fired!!!!

The teacher should be fired today. He is attempting to indoctrinate your children. If the parents raised a fight, it might be different. We cannot allow people in our schools to promote Jesus, so we should NOT have them in our schools promoting liberalism..

The teacher (all if more than one) should be fired or, at the least, put on It's a public school receiving aid from the federal government, city, county and state. They have NO RIGHT to promote any paticular party organization, Dem or GOP. People, wake up. You have to see what it is that they want to do to our kids. Indoctrinate them into their little community-type organization - little brown shirts. It's damn scary to me and it should be to you.

PEOPLE OF OHIO, stand up and fight this! Put so much pressure on this teacher and this school board and system that there will be no doubt that future episodes of this nature WILL HAVE DIRE CONSEQUENCES! This has to be stopped everywhere.
Our education system has been overrun by the Progressive Left! Our kids are being indoctrinated! This has got to stop! Regardless of what side of the political spectrum you're on. Teach kids HOW to think not WHAT to think! Pathetic!
DEMOCRAT = COMMUNIST
SPECIALLY FOR DOES PARENTS THAT THINK SCHOOLS ARE DAYCARE CENTERS.

As an Ohioan, if this happened in my school district (whether its Progressive or Tea Party - doesn't matter!) the teacher would no longer be employed in my area. One way or another they would be gone - or missing...

It is discouraging to see the number of public school teachers, especially in the large urban districts, who have fallen to the ideology of the progressive teacher's union. The encouraging thing is that this issue was even brought up.
Sharon
The parents of these kids should be beating down the door to get that teacher fired! What more proof do they need? Stand up for your rights and childrens rights people!! Geez!
Margaret Ferguson
This teacher should be fired but then again you can't fire them because of union rules just like the government.
Mr. Obvious
This would not be left unsaid in Cincinnati.

Teacher should be booted out of teaching forever. If you want to pass this literature, do it in your spare time, namely weekends.

Why does this teacher get a pass?......is the dristrict union?
Unions had their place at one time......to bring about a better working environment and to better the stature of the working person......I agree with that on principle........Today.......unions are destroying this country.....look at what the UAW has done to American Auto........and there are plenty of examples where unions have over stepped their purpose for the ill of the community and the nation.
