The Patriot Post® · Weekend Review: Indoctrinating Our Children

Obama’s budget calls for HHS to spend $15 billion over 10 years to fund an Obamacare provision called the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program. An HHS budget document says this program will send government-funded “nurses, social workers, and other professionals” into people’s homes to “improve parenting skills.”

Thus, the government of Obama and Sebelius seeks to be the ultimate instructor of America’s youngest children – even in their “emotional skills.”

They want to recruit them for the other side. …

His strategic aim is to make them allies in his cause. (Read the rest.)
