Elementary School Front Line Defense of Constitution

The New Left is rising and they will begin to fund Hollywood with our money to produce more propaganda that will entice our children to abandon The Constitution.

Case in point: The Obama Administration's recent attempt to USE THE NEA to produce Left Wing "Art" messages for the sole reason of indoctrinating our children.

The Education system is a first line of defense.  I work in many Elementary Schools.  There was no Picture of George Bush when he was president in any school. However, when Obama was running, his picture was everywhere.  My students, ages 5 through 12 constantly urged me to "vote for Obama".  Yes, it is true.  When I asked them why they thought he would make a good president, they replied "I don't know".

Nice work Teacher's Unions--keep the Kool-Aid coming!

HOPE TO CHANGE THE NEA

 

 

Ask a simple question: Why does the government continue to fund an industry where individual artists can make 20 million dollars a year or more?  This question has troubled me for over 30 years.  I have stayed out of the grants for artists end of my business for two reasons. 1. Because I am too busy working as an artist to spend a year applying for grants. 2. The grant money given to artists is really taxpayers money, who pay for arts projects and then are charged a fee to see the art project. 

 

Why do we not fund Plumbers?  I do not know a plumber, an individual plumber,  who can command the fees of even some of our most inadequate and substandard artists, yet, they are more necessary to the well-being of man-kind than any artist funded by NEA (oops, taxpayer) dollars.

 

I have spent a lifetime practicing my art in obscurity, by choice, and am more fulfilled then many.  My question is "how can we continue to trust a Government that now uses that taypayer money to improve the fortunes of politicians as well as "politically correct" "artists"?.

 

I hope you can respond to me with insight and knowledge.  All respectful responses will be posted.
