2010 Census: turning pupils into puppets

In case you still suffer from the delusion that your children are yours, as opposed to being pawns of the public schools or mere marionettes owned and operated by the federal government, the plans your elitist rulers have for "their" youngest subjects should educate you to the contrary.

The Obama administration plans to look sideways at the nation's child labor laws, a control mechanism otherwise beloved by big guv busybodies, and use the army of tiny tykes to pester their parents about the 2010 census.

The bureauboobery has launched "Census in Schools," an all-out battle to bury every state-owned education factory (aka public school) in the country under "posters, teaching guides, maps and lesson plans." (USA Today)

The lesson plans can be downloaded online in 28 languages, in case a teacher's pet apple-polisher happens to speak Uppyer Wazooistani.

This is a staged PR pic provided by the
propagandists at the US Census Bureau
depicting a census snoop going door to door
demanding more than "How many people
live in your house?"

And what will your kiddos be learning about the census?

That the Constitution requires the nation's population to be counted every 10 years...

That the information is used to help redraw political boundaries (but not about the politicized and race-based gerrymandering scams that go with it)...

That the count determines how many reps each state gets to send to Congress (where they will feed on lobbyist loot and donor dough and retire rich)...

And that it determines "the distribution of more than $400 billion in federal funds to state and local governments every year."

Waitaminnit. Where does it say that in the Constitution?

But of course that's the whole point of the modern census – public pelf for the pockets of the plundering class.

Once the little love of their loins gets his or her full dose of political propaganda during "Census Week" the little finger puppets will be sent home to politicize Mommy and Daddy about answering every last little nosy, officious, intrusive, meddling, "ain't nobody's business" question on their 2010 Census form and American Community Survey.

Questions on the survey include "Does Person 1 sometimes live or stay somewhere else?" and "Does this person have difficulty dressing or bathing?" and "Does this house, apartment, or mobile home have – a. hot and cold running water? b. a flush toilet?

Even though the Constitution, the supposed "supreme law of the land," only requires you to answer one question: how many are you?

Of course, using youngsters to propagandize their own parents is nothing new for nation-wrecking powercrats.

There was a time when schoolrooms were saturated with the anti-smoking party line and children were commanded to go home and tell their parents that smoking was bad.

Or ordered to tutor their parents about the righteousness of recycling.

Or pushed to force their folks to ditch the deep-fried fritters and Grandma's greasy gravy.

taxbucks at the US Census Bureau. Does this
form look necessary for answering the one
question required by the Constitution, "How
many people live in your house?"

Ever ahead of America on the downhill collectivist curve, UK kids are encouraged to go to climatecops.com where they can download (PDF) their "crime cards" and learn how to build "case files" on the "Climate Crimes" committed by their own families in their own homes or the homes of uncles, aunts, and friends from school. "You may need to keep a watchful eye over them" advise the Brit bureaucrats to their budding little narks-to-be.

The next step, of course, is to turn the Little Britches into Little Snitches like the Nazis and Commies and Fascists and Socialists of Europe used to do. Since progressives love our collectivist Prussian school system and the collectivist government system so much they should eagerly embrace the collectivist informant systems pioneered by the Third Reich and the Stalinist internal spy networks and the East German Stasi.

And then there were the Chinese youth who "re-educated" everyone using Chairman Mao's Little Red Book, an apparent precursor to half-truther Chairman Gore's Little Green Inconvenient Warming Flick.

And while it doesn't have the same ring, a modern version of the Hitler Youth Corps might be The Obama Acorn Kids.

Yes, power-grabbers the world over, and throughout history, love to use their population's own spawn against them.

So when the illegally bloated 2010 Census comes knocking at your door, try to teach your younglings a thing or two about freedom and personal responsibility and civil rights and individualism and then throw the offending form away.
