The Rise of the Junior Citizen Brigade


Recruiting and propagandizing your kids
If I had kids, I think I would be angry.

As it is, I'll just have to settle for annoyance because the FedGovs want schoolkids to take home census kits.

The government has launched Census in Schools, an all-out campaign targeting superintendents, principals, teachers, students and, indirectly, parents, as schools open across the nation this month and next. The message: The Census is coming and here's why everyone should care.

The goal is to send posters, teaching guides, maps and lesson plans to every school in the nation, Puerto Rico and U.S. island territories to encourage everyone to participate in the national count. The materials will land in more than 118,000 schools and reach 56 million students.

"It's great to reach the children because children are such strong voices in their homes," says Renee Jefferson-Copeland, chief of the Census schools program. "In households that are linguistically isolated, they can express the information to their parents."

With the bit about using Sesame Street characters aimed at preschoolers, well, I lost any respect and most of the fond feelings I had for the show. And I think I was among the original viewers.

There wasn't much respect left after news of that recession special. I've seen parts of the script.

Face it, the government is going after you through your kids.

No Federal agency should use your kids, especially not without your permission.

But they are.

All hail the Imperious Leader! One People, One Party, One Nation! Change We Can Believe In!

And no dissent allowed, Citizen.
