it IS frightening what we are exposing our kids to

Right-Wing Rock
Coming soon to a school near you, and at taxpayer expense.
By Brian D. Greer Wednesday, November 16, 2005
First there was Ted Nugent. Then Foghat. (Okay, that was just an ugly rumor.) Now there’s a new right-wing band to vying for the hearts and minds of America ’s youth: Junkyard Prophet.
But, instead of trying to beg its way onto MTV to build its audience, this band is performing directly inside of America’s high schools.
Oh, and the federal government is footing the bill.
That’s right. Over the last few years, a band called Junkyard Prophet (through its youth outreach organization, You Can Run But You Cannot Hide) has been touring across Middle America, spewing its ultra-conservative message at hundreds of school assemblies along the way. And it’s received hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars for its efforts. Armstrong Williams, eat your heart out.
To be fair, unlike the Williams situation or the grossly misleading abstinence education program that the Bush Administration promulgated, there’s no allegation that the federal government is promoting or even tacitly endorsing Junkyard Prophet. Nonetheless, the band’s activities stand as yet another example of the publicly-funded, conservative indoctrination of America’s youth, and someone should put a stop to it...........

This completely frightens me. I don't go and preach the "absolute truth" of paganism (you know, be nice to people and the earth and such) but I live it. I wish more people lived their chosen doctrine rather than preached it...

i'm with you roxy. i don't preach and i don't claim to belive in the ONE TRUE way either. it IS frightening especially since it appears most don't know what they're getting if they sign this band to come to their school (someone SHOULD be doing more research)
