St. Paul indoctrinates socialist leftists teachers

The front page of the Red Star today features a large photo of a future teacher wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt. Why does that not surprise us? Would conservatives have a collective heart attack if the prospective teacher wore a Reagan t-shirt? We think so. Here's the accompanying story.

If this article is indicative of what we can expect for our children in public school, we're in worse shape than expected. It's all about feelings. There is no air of authority for the teachers, and frankly, they don't seem to want it. This is very troubling. In case you aren't a believer, here's a series of quotes from Nouchie Xiong, another future teacher:

"At 4 feet 11, Xiong is no taller than most of these students, but it's obvious she's the teacher. Sitting cross-legged with her students on a carpet woven with a map of the world, Xiong pressed for feedback.

"Who is this Nouchie [pronounced NOO-chee] chick?" Xiong said, in the voice of a belligerent teen. "I kept worrying about what you'd think of me."

When the air conditioner provided the only sound heard for five long seconds, Xiong was determined to end the stillness.

"If I'm going too fast, tell me. Just tell me how you feel."

Finally, some feedback.

"You're doing a good job so far."

"It's cool that you try to make classtime fun."

Still wanting more, Xiong told everyone to hold their breath for a few seconds and to say whatever they wanted to once they released it.

"I want to see some deep breaths here," Xiong said amid laughter. "Hold it in."

The activity must have revved up 12-year-old Anny Vang, one of the quietest students.

"I think it's good that you're pushing us so that we're prepared for what's ahead," Vang said."

Kids as pals and buddies of teachers? Teachers teaching feelings, not facts? We're in a world of trouble.
