problems that are handed him and
to consider it a crime to think for
himself. He will be the child-man
of communism.
What is communism?
A conspiracy to conquer and rule
the world by any means, legal or
illegal, in peace or in war.
What do the Communists want?
To rule your mind and your body
from the cradle to the grave.
III communism should conquer
America, what would happen to
the schools?
Real education would stop. Only
training would be allowed.
What do Communists say?
Here's a quote from Lenin, foun-
der of the Soviet state:
Give us the child for years and
1t will be a Bolshevik forever"
What did Lenin have in mind?
He meant that, given child from
its infancy, he would turn 1t into
a faceless, obedient, trained Com
munist slave for life.
How?
Here's a quote from an official
1916 guide to teachers of kinder
gartens in Soviet Russia, which
handle children from to 6. years
of age:
The basic habits of Socialist life
ane formed during this period-order
and discipline, friendship and COM
radeship among children, love OF
our great motherland. of the Com
munist Party, Of the leaders of the
people"
This kindergarten program is the
biggest, broadest and most elaborate
branch of the whole Russian school
system.
How does that differ from our school
system:
We teach children here how to
think. They teach children what to
think.
Just what makes up the school sys-
tenn" In America which the Com
munists want?
There are about 201 100 schools in
this country listed by the United
States once of Education. They
teach some 81 ,880, 900 students every
thing from cooking to atomic
physics.
Our schools range from public te
private, to church ownership, anc
from kindergartens to colleges.
Add to these the thousands oi
commercial, music, drama, art, bust.
ness and trade schools not counted
in the list above.
Add the research centers, text
book houses, teachers unions
school supply companies, the Ma
tional Education Association, and
its affiliates.
Each and every one would be
wrecked and the pieces taken over
What do you mean by wrecked:
just that. One of the first things
that Communists did in Russia
when they came to power was tc
smash the existing school system.
After the breakdown and explo-
sion period, they rebuilt the schoo
system into a tremendous machine
for training rather than education
But what about academic freedom?
A teacher under communism
never has freedom, academic OF
otherwise. He teaches o0V what the
government tells him to. And police
watch to see that he does so.
Would that be so here?
Freedom in every respect would
be the first thing to 60. Teachers
bucking the system would be fired
Jailed or shot.
What would they train the pupils
here to do after getting the schools
under their thumb as they are
now in Russia?
To obey, to love, and to hate.
To obey whom?
The best answer is from the same
teachers guide Pedagogy" earlier
quoted:
"Unquestioned obedience and sub.
mission to the leader, the teacher
CT the organizer"
To hate whom?
Says the Soviet teachers guide:
The pupils of the Soviet schoo
must realize that the feeling o
Soviet patriotism is saturated with
irreooncilable hatred toward tn,
enemies of socialist society"
Who are these enemies the Rus
sian Communists train children Il
hate?
Anybody and everybody who OBJ
jects to being dominated all his lif,
long by the Communists. Any loya
