My comments in red: This is also the same exact thing Lamar Alexander said at the National Governor’s Conference in 1989. These communists want to control our children from cradle to grave…but wait, Lamar Alexander, Senator from Tennessee, and in 1989 Governor of Tennessee, said something even worse. He wanted to get those children when they were still in their mother’s wombs. They do not want the parents teaching their children about God, the country, or family. The state wants to indoctrinate them, just as they do in communist countries.

Pres­i­dent Obama’s edu­ca­tion sec­re­tary is stir­ring con­tro­versy by sug­gest­ing the U.S. gov­ern­ment should launch board­ing schools for kids – chil­dren the gov­ern­ment would have 24 hours a day.

Edu­ca­tion Sec­re­tary Arne Dun­can made the com­ments Tues­day in Arling­ton, Va., at the Youth Vio­lence Pre­ven­tion Sum­mit. (Video is avail­able below.)

“One idea that I threw out … is this idea of pub­lic board­ing schools. That’s a lit­tle bit of a dif­fer­ent idea, a con­tro­ver­sial idea,” he said. “But the ques­tion is — do we have some chil­dren where there’s not a mom, there’s not a dad, there’s not a grandma, there’s just nobody at home? There’s just cer­tain kids we should have 24/7 to really cre­ate a safe envi­ron­ment and give them a chance to be successful.”

He also said cur­rent schools should be “com­mu­nity cen­ters” and “be open 12, 13, 14 hours a day” with “a wide vari­ety of after-school programs.”
