Raise your hand if you believe government has too little involvement in our lives. Put down your hands,members of the Obama administration.
During a previous political uprising in the 1980s,academic institutions managed to fend off conservative attacks on some of the subjects taught on their campuses —from “peace studies”to kinky sexual practices,to bad history —with cries of “academic freedom.”Where are those cries now that the federal government is on the verge of regulating the content of subject matter on college campuses and changing the way these institutions are accredited?
According to the Centennial Institute, a proposed new rule by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) “would place private colleges and universities under the ultimate control of state governments,rather than independent accrediting agencies. The notice of proposed rulemaking was posted in the Federal Register on June 18 for a public comment period ending Aug. 2. It could take effect as soon as November.”
Former U.S. Senator Bill Armstrong,now president of Colorado Christian University,wrote a letter to Education Secretary Arne Duncan on July 30. In it,he warned of an “all-out politicization of American higher education,endangering academic freedom,due process and First Amendment rights.”
The American Council on Education,in a letter of its own,warned of “heavy compliance burdens”and “regulations that appear to overrule state law.”
Armstrong says the attempt by the government to regulate curricula “is part of an unprecedented power grab in which government has already moved to dominate such industries as automobiles,energy, health care,banking,home loans and student loans —and now seeks dominance over the colleges and universities themselves.”

Control of education (indoctrination) is the purpose of public schools. The last article of faith in the Humanist Manifesto says:"What greater goal for humankind than for each individual to be IN IDEAL (brainwashed) as well as in practice,a world citizen in a world community". Sounds like Hitler's Volks Gemeinshaft.
We are being programmed to be dedicated obediant vassals in a global government.
Obama!
How can anyone support that racial,radical Marxist,Muslim is beyond
my comprehension.
This so called president should be impeached,sent to prision for 10 years and then be sent back to Kenya.
He wants to control everything in our lives even what we think.. I must admit that I despise him and his administration
