Our president and his allies don’t get the American people:  They know what polls reveal, that the more we learn about ObamaCare, the more we collectively hate it.  But they persist in thinking that this is a marketing problem, and that ObamaCare just hasn’t been properly sold to us.  So far, so bad.

This is where the story takes a really disturbing turn, and where president Obama’s administration thinks it appropriate to train our children to sell ObamaCare to their parents.  $36 million federal dollars of taxpayer money being spent in California to sell us something that we loathe.

But the really damnable part is indoctrinating our children to push the President’s ideology.  This is a fundamental violation of the premise of education:  That we teach our children for their own benefit, to help them mature and develop into their own selves, and not into our propaganda arm.

Mr. President, step away from our children.  When leaders resort to manipulating children, it’s because of values and principles that cannot stand on their own, but must be artificially propped up.  You are venturing into the footsteps of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao, and that is a badly misguided course of action.  Nobody expects you to be perfect, but we do expect honesty, integrity, and the humility to admit when you’re wrong.  I expect those same things of myself.
