That's the latest indoctrination program for kids in the public schools. Take a look at this "writing" program for early elementary used in Utah public schools. Note one of the goals is "changing attitudes." Is that what writing programs are all about. Wake up, parents!
Teaching children manipulative techniques fits very well with the manipulative techniques of community organizing groups. Shall we teach our children to convince people by using "emotional words" or do we want to teach them logic and critical thinking? I know how I would answer that question. How about you?.
Is it any wonder that so many of our young people lack critical thinking skills? When curriculum focuses on "feelings" in elementary school it is manipulative because young children do not have the higher-thinking skills needed to discern. Young children still believe in the tooth fairy, the boogey man and monsters. My grandchildren are still innocent and it is up to my daughters to teach them certain things and the schools need to stick to reading and writing and math, and not social engineering.
