We can't even teach people of the founding fathers and the ultimate sacrifices that were made to give us the freedoms we are losing through the "global agenda". Instead of "indoctrinating" these students and teaching them the violative ways of world government against our constitution , we should be teaching them to recognize that they are being morphed into the global agenda by losing their American sovereignity!

3) Waste of money [by steve31655 on June 2, 2005]
We have found a new way to waste money. Now the state wants to spend money to indoctrinate kids with NATO thought. What is "internationalism" other than a way to degrade the United States and extol other cultures. If individual districts want to do this that is their business, but the state government should not institutionalize "The New World Order".
