Blame Harvard?

This kind of surprised me........ I'm not sure where he addressed these teachers, but I think it was some time in the late '80s. But, it helps make it a bit more clear what has happened to the younger generation of today.

“Every child in America entering school at the age of five is mentally ill, because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our founding fathers, our elected officials, toward his parents, toward a belief in a supernatural Being, toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It's up to you teachers to make all of these sick children well by creating the international children of the future.”

This quote apparently comes from the Childhood International Seminar in 1973 in Denver, but I have been unable to find the text of the entire speech. I'm cautious about taking one part of a speech and extrapolating from it, but if anyone can find the whole speech, I'd be interested in reading it.

Nothing surprises me when it comes to collage professors.
I have come to the conclusion that they are the ones who are mentally ill.
For years my wife and I were disappointed that God never blessed us with children, but not so much any more.

I guess that Harvard professor feels children should hold no beliefs at all until someone like him comes along to "educate" them. To me, I'd suspect a person devoid of all beliefs to perhaps be mentally ill. :shrug:

Another "ACID GURU" enlightened mind like Timothy Leary.......and his mentality, which is being taught by most schools, is the reason our nation is going to "heck" in a hand basket....... children today, for the most part, are intellectually unstable, lazy, expect everything handed to them, disrespectful, hateful, mouthy, have no morals or sense of right and wrong etc.......Our nation is in big trouble.....and in my view has reached a point of no return................just saying.
