SALT LAKE TRIBUNE -- 04/01/2010
Some Utah County parents are calling on the Alpine School District to stop spreading "false educational ideas." First and foremost, the parents say, the district needs to clamp down on its use of the D-word: "democracy."
Alpine's mission statement is "Educating all students to ensure the future of our democracy."
"Karl Marx said, 'Democracy is the road to socialism,' " Norton said. A true democracy, he said, relies solely on majority rule and inevitably devolves into anarchy, which then sprouts socialist dictators…the phrase "Enculturating the young into a social and political democracy."
The phrase (this nation is a democracy) is one of four values adopted by Alpine district as part of a partnership with Brigham Young University that promotes the "moral dimensions of teaching." …said districts ALL along the Wasatch Front have adopted the values outlined in BYU's "moral dimensions of (Note, LDS Church owned BYU Adopted the teaching of Communist Karl Marx: "Democracy is the road to Socialism.” Karl Marx Authored The Communst Manifesto) teaching." http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_14797234

Just after the completion and signing of the Constitution, in reply to a woman's inquiry as to the type of government the Founders had created, Benjamin Franklin said,
"A Republic, if you can keep it."
Not only have we failed to keep it,
MOST don't even know what it is...
United States Constitution
Art. 4 Sec. 4 Par. 1
“The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican form of Government.” [Not a Democracy.]
Pledge of Allegiance – “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands …”
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
Benjamin Franklin
