Uh oh. Somebody at the Department of Keep the Rubes from Hearing About How it is We’re Abusing Our Powers is going to get pinkslipped over this one! Andrew Malcolm, IBD:

[…] ObamaCare implementation is lagging with only 92 days left until the Democrat’s expensive new plan takes effect.

Millions of people are having second or third thoughts as they get new health insurance bills with steeply hiked rates, as employers cut work hours to save on insurance coverage or as companies drop the coverage plans and leave workers to go on the government’s version.

In desperation, the Obama administration is seeking any way it can to promote ObamaCare to the uninformed. California’s health insurance clearinghouse got $37 million in taxpayer funds just to push the plan in the Golden state.

It gave almost $1 million to Los Angeles’ school district to — get this — pay public school teachers additional taxpayer money to take up class time teaching their pupils the wonders of ObamaCare. So they will go home and sell parents, relatives and neighbors on signing up to use more taxpayer funds. The circle of life in Chicago politics.

District spokesmen said if it works as envisioned, they will indoctrinate students in other government-sanctioned programs to sell their families on. Read all the details here.

Of course, Malcolm is being glib here, but there’s no real reason to be:  public schools have been indoctrinating children with respect to government-sanctioned “nudges” for years, be it through the influence wielded by the environmental lobby (and the poor Polar Bear floating away on an ice block) or the influence from other left wing, ostensibly “non-political” groups like the various iterations of food Nazis and anti-Second Amendment proponents.

And this is only the direct indoctrination.  The entirety of the curricula has a tinge of PC and white privilege / white guilt to it — from history that questions the European conquest of the New World to the near-beatification of Natives and ethnic and sexual minorities.

These are precisely the building blocks of a later left-liberal voter:  filled with a generalized sense of rote self- loathing (while in fact, that self-loathing is not self-loathing at all, but rather becomes a proud badge of sanctimony and sophistication, ironically turning the hatred of a dubious, finessed, and largely acontextual US history into a resource for their own supposed elevated self worth), these government-produced regurgitators of federally-approved narratives then turn their attention on “doing something” to “end” whatever it is they’ve identified as a social “problem”, be that problem fat people, or car exhaust, or strip malls, or unfairly unwed same-sex couples, or people who simply refuse to recycle correctly.

Part of taking back the country will involve breaking the federal stranglehold over the curriculum and over the training of teachers in universities that rely on the kind of leftist “education” training produced and promoted by such stars in the field as domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

For my part, were my son to come home from school and peddle ObamaCare to me, I’d remind him of the days of slavery, and tell him that what he is promoting is a kind of slavery, wherein a “right” asserted by people for health care means that they can demand of doctors their time and attention.  This “right” strips physicians of their rights — and as a result, leads to an era of “positive rights” whereby all we are doing is voting ourselves the money and labor of others who haven’t earned it.

The difference being we don’t use whips any more. We just use the IRS and the Supreme Court to effectively play the role of chains.

Then I’d probably lead the family in a rousing rendition of “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” before ending dinner with a “we shall overcome” chant.
