The latest promise from Bernie Sanders to provide FREE preschool for ages 0 to 4 should send shivers throughout every community in America.

Sanders has showered praise regarding Cuba for its literacy program, which incidentally, has also received praise from former President Obama. Sanders promises free college for all. Now that free preschool is added to the mix, it is only a matter of time before he promises to completely overall K -12 education as well. Some of you may be thinking, “so what?” Let’s take a look at someone from the past with eerily similar views.

Adolph Hitler And Education

Citation: C N Trueman “Adolph Hitler And Education” historylearningsite.co.uk. The History Learning Site, 9 Mar 2015. 18 Dec 2019.

Adolph Hitler considered education to be a very important factor in Nazi Germany. When he wrote ‘Mein Kampf’ while serving out a prison sentence at Landsberg, Hitler wrote “whoever has the youth has the future”. In Hitler’s Germany, education would be the key that ensured that he had “the youth” of Germany.

Hitler’s view on education was that it served a sole purpose ‐ to ensure that a child was loyal to the Nazi state to ensure that the Third Reich lasted for 1000 years.

“The ultimate purpose of education was to fashion citizen’s conscious of the glory of country and filled with fanatical devotion to the national cause. National Socialism would furnish the necessary elite for the nation.” (Louis Snyder)

Along comes Bernie Sanders to fill the role of “necessary elite” while touting disdain for America’s current elite.

Even though America clearly proclaimed, “NEVER AGAIN” following the destruction of Nazi Germany, a huge segment of the country is embracing Bernie Sanders as he attempts to lure America down the socialist pathway. The seeds of destruction have already taken root and are growing daily.

College students have been steadily indoctrinated to accept and even promote socialist ideology by faculty who feel that it is their duty to incorporate their ideology into all subject matter. Gone are the days of purely academic instruction.

In our current political climate, teachers in the K-12 schools are promoting social equity and entitlements rather than teaching our youth to strive for excellence and to be accountable for their choices. The “everyone gets a trophy” mentality has weakened the character and stifled, if not outwardly discouraged, individual achievement. Once the government has complete control of the education system, beginning almost immediately after birth, the process of full indoctrination will be established and will be that much more difficult to stop.

There has NEVER been a successful example of socialism working as advertised. The claim that “democratic socialism is different than regular socialism” is a ludicrous oxymoron. When Sanders refers to Scandinavian countries as examples of democratic socialist countries, he is INTENTIONALLY misleading his followers. Those countries are CAPITALIST WELFARE COUNTRIES. Capitalism is the driving force, accompanied by high tax rates to pay for the vast social programs.

Wake up Bernie sycophants! Nothing is free. The government has no money. Our taxes pay for ALL of the FREEBIES you are hoping to get. Expecting the “wealthy” to cover all of YOUR expectations for entitlements is not only a sad commentary about your character, but also dangerous to our country as a whole.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are your rights. Why would you voluntarily forfeit your liberty? Rather than worrying about what someone else has (rich or poor), consider what actions you can take to improve your circumstances. Life is not fair or equal…nor should it be.

Individuality leads to innovation and progress that may benefit society as a whole. Socialism destroys innovation and benefits ONLY the NECESSARY ELITE.

The world does not need another necessary elite such as HITLER, CASTRO, or MADURO.

Thus, Mr. Sanders, we don’t want FREE preschool. The cost is America’s liberty.
