Bans wrote that while she was unequivocally told “that Patriot Camp was definitely, absolutely, exclusively about history…. [she was] simultaneously warned that if – if – a splash of politics seeped into the bug juice, Constitutional Champions wasn’t responsible.”
The Patriot Camp curriculum contains several “learning stations.” One of the learning stations is titled “Redistribution of Wealth”:
“Divide group in half. One half 'earns' Tootsie Rolls by doing 25 jumping jacks
“The other half is not required to do jumping jacks, but can relax or do what they want
“Teacher suggests that it's “not fair” that one group has no Tootsie Rolls, then instructs 'jumping jack' group to give half of their Tootsie Rolls to the other group to even things up - kids immediately understand that principles behind redistribution of wealth are NOT fair
“Emphasize that America guarantees equal opportunity, not equal results
“Emphasize that it is our own individual responsibility to be charitable, not the government's job to redistribute our wealth, or take our money to give to others.”
Bans asks:- “Is Patriot Camp, as one left-leaning blogger for Mother Jones labeled it, an ‘indoctrination camp’? Or does the political stuff just go right over these kids' heads?” Despite attempts by teachers to infuse little right wing lecture points into activities, she “witness[es] plenty that suggests they [the kids] aren't absorbing much of anything.
At one point during Mr. Alex's intense lecture about God's hand in the drafting of the Constitution, a little girl raised her hand and interrupted him. ‘Mr. Alex,’ she pleaded, ‘can you do a magic trick to make me disappear?’"

What do you want from me?
To say that this country is going 'communist' and 'fascist'? That people are trying to take away all your rights? Your money, your guns, your children?
All of it is nonsense. No one is doing that.
Denial is no way to go through life my friend.
The Secular Progressives are here.

This is the liberal mindset. Your kids are not your kids. No, they belong to the state. Much like Hitler used to think. You, as an American citizen, are not even entitled to the children that you produce. No, the state OWNS your kids now.
So who here doesn't see the historical reference to Nazi Germany through the eyes of the brainwashed nanny state liberal? Because honestly, it's becoming more and more clear every damn day.
I wonder, why was that both parents had to work again? Oh right, so the state could raise your kids.
Real change, yes he did.

Agreed. It's kind of sad see people doing this on a site whose motto is "deny ignorance". Even in this clip it's pretty obvious that's what she's saying.

Children aren't actually "owned" by ANYONE. They are people and as such, have rights in this country. They are not belongings.
I understand what MHP is saying and don't have a problem with it. It takes a village to raise a child. And the child will be healthier and happier if it's respected and raised as a PERSON; a contributing member of society, instead of a belonging.
I'm not going to try to explain what she said because clearly, some think she's Hitler. But I see nothing wrong with what she said.
