Commies Steal from School Children

Or so says the Washington Times:

Any parent with a child in a public school has likely discovered our education system is little more than a means by which liberals indoctrinate children with socialist ideology.

If this seems a radical assertion, I assure you it is not. In fact, examples abound indicating its accuracy.

Take the "community box," for instance. How many elementary school kids across the country show up the first day of school, only to have their brand-new supplies pilfered by their teacher and thrown into one big box, to be distributed henceforth as said teacher sees fit? (Karl Marx also had very little regard for private property rights.)

According to a few teachers, the Times is completely correct. When children come in at the beginning of the year, they turn over all of their supplies for the year to the teacher,labeled with their names on them. Once the student breaks his or her last #2, the teacher pulls another from the stash labeled with that student's name. According to that teacher, "Bobby gets his SpongeBob erasers...at least until he runs out. Then he has to use the extra supplies I have purchased for the class."

I guess it's true, teachers are communists. Look at how they take their huge salaries and spend it on materials for those 8 year old who haven't started earning their keep.
