I wrote earlier about the hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars that Obama is pouring into California to build a permanent one-party system.
Looks like that includes a cadre of Obama Youth in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
The Los Angeles Unified School District will use a state grant to train teens to promote ObamaCare to family members. Covered California, the state’s health insurance exchange, announced grants of $37 million on May 14 to promote the nationally unpopular law.
LAUSD will receive $990,000. The district listed as a primary outcome for its project, “Teens trained to be messengers to family members.”
Covered California spokeswoman Sarah Soto-Taylor said staff have not questioned this goal.
“We have confidence that the model LA Unified brought to the table will be successful in reaching our target population, which includes family members of students,” she said. […]
If the project is successful, Los Angeles families can expect more use of students to push government-preferred messaging.
“Teens are part of a ‘pilot’ program to test whether young people can be trained as messengers to deliver outreach and limited education to family and friends in and around their homes,” said Gayle Pollard-Terry, a LAUSD spokesman, in an email. “Teens will be educating adults that they already know (e.g., family or friends) and not other adults.”
Forward Pavlik Morozov!!
May I suggest brown for the t-shirts?
I just think a nod to tradition is in order.
Can we assume
snitchingreporting on anti-socialist, counter-revolutionary sentiments is part of the training curricula?Yet. But all the information needed will be at their fingertips.
“Routed through?” Maybe not exactly what most people think of as “through.”
Notice in the first quote that the “Peace Corps” is one of the groups that get the data. Now why would a youth overseas volunteer group need the health data on all US citizens? But never fear as “agency contractors, consultants, or grantees will also have it. Hello LAUSD, SEIU, OFA, and other alphabet soup groups of the Left. And we will pay them to paw through all of our private lives, for our own good of course.
Peace Corpses help make it to where people don’t have worms in their butts
this is a good fit for them
So now Obama has enlisted the NBA, NFL, Hollywood, Cosmopolitan magazine, and LA Unified School District to promote Obamacare.
It used to be that believing the government was monitoring your every move, and that it was brainwashing you with messaging through a variety of seemingly independent sources was paranoia.
The next time the IPAB or some Lefty tries to tell you that, sorry, but we just can’t afford to provide X treatment to some demographic remember this: , they found over $37 million to promote healthcare instead of using that same $37 milling to provide healthcare.
Geoff – I suggest you read my friend Teresa’s story:

“Peace Corpses help make it to where people don’t have Peace Corpses help make it to where people don’t have worms in their butts this is a good fit for them ”
Haven’t you heard? The SOCTUS says ” worms in their butts is good”
We must be forever vigilant against counter-revolution.
“Teens will be educating adults that they already know (e.g., family or friends) and not other adults.”
Get off my lawn.
We should start a counter education campaign, where we send our kids to school to “educate” their teachers about things like underfunded pensions, and how there’s not a chance in Hell that they’ll retire with anything close to what they’ve been promised.
“You’re a THOUGHTCRIMINAL!”
Forward! Doubleplusgoodness! Yes we can!
If they are as illiterate as that “star witness” in Stanford Florida, I don’t think this will get much accomplished.

She makes Judge Judy participants look brilliant by comparison.
You guys need to watch Judge Joe Brown. He has the relatives of the “star witness” on quite frequently.
That’s just your white privilege failing to recognize her authenticity.
(And now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go lie down. After reading those two articles, my head hurts something fierce, and I’m rapidly losing the will to live…)
Someone should package all of those excuses for “star witness” bad behavior and sell them. There is more justification for her being an obnoxious dumb-ass who can’t speak English in those two articles than Carter has little liver pills.
They had how many weeks to prepare this young woman? Did they never think to tell her what to expect on the stand, or how to respond?
This “poor black teenager” that “white folk” just “can’t understand” is a load of crap. I’m sorry, but if you’re an 18-year-old “star witness” for one of the year’s most high-profile legal circuses, and your own damn attorney can’t help but make you look foolish, you may just have to come to grips with the idea that you really are a fool. Skin color don’t enter into it.
Precious has the IQ of a carrot. She was their star witness because their case sucks. When have you ever seen a murder trial where the prosecution has to overcome and rebut the police investigation?
If George Rodriguez has shot Travon, we’d never have heard his name.
I keep wondering whose witnesses these are. They sure seem like defense witnesses, and yet they’re not.
exposed just how vast the government’s data collection efforts will be on millions of Americans as a result of ObamaCare.
I have never been more tempted to fraudulent behavior in my life.
Perhaps there might circulate in the underground one Ur medical profile that everyone can use in place of their real one.
#spartacus
#Spartacus, indeed.
I intend to not comply. You can’t get blood from a stone, after all.
No doubt we can find doctors who will comply with our non-compliance.

white privilege
The real privilege, of course, is media privilege, for being able to properly assess and explain the misunderstood genius of “star witness” while exposing the blind prejudice of a monolithic “white America”.
One of these days, I’m going to find a job/store/club that accepts my “white privilege” tokens, and redeem them for fabulous cash and prizes…
They keep giving us more reasons to home-school the kids. I imagine they will make that illegal at some point.
Wouldn’t you have to use “gay privilege” tokens for that?
We whites need to form a grievance committee. I’m tired of getting blamed for historic grievances that happened before my family even arrived here.

I knew I’d regret using the word “fabulous”. I was trying to use the catchphrase from 80’s game shows.
Seems everyone has to tell kids to get off their lawn.
I knew what you were going, but I couldn’t leave it alone.
going->doing
sigh.
Funny that the defense on the young lady is about her skin color. I honestly, and of course many others, are shocked that after spending all that money on public education that the schools could fail so miserably. No one linked even felt it was necessary to defend the public schools and just consider that she might be dumb.
I was born a poor black bear
