"You must respect authority."

That was the take-home lesson for some middle schoolers at the 9/11 Memorial in New York City.

It probably comes as no surprise that this is what kids are being taught these days in public schools.

Last week a group of patriotic kids went to the 9/11 Memorial site and began singing the national anthem. One would think this was a respectful thing to do for fallen countrymen, whose lives, according to the official story, were taken by evil terrorists whom we should all fear.

Apparently, the 1st Amendment is as dead as those victims at the 9/11 site, because the kids were immediately silenced by a security guard.

But that wasn't the worst lesson that kids got

You'd think that would be the worst of it, but you'd be wrong.

Their teacher – who shouldn't even be allowed to housebreak puppies with this outlook – explained to CNN that she used this as a teaching opportunity.
