Is this happening across the entire US?? Is it happening in private or public schools? is it just in a few schools?

If it is occuring in the public schools everywhere, I’m afraid, very afraid…but if this is happening in some private schools, I don’t see how its different than those religious schools that preach to the children(which I don’t agree with either but it happens nonetheless).
This is one of those things I just don’t know enough about… could someone shed a little more light??

This is not just the MPAA. It is an orchestrated attack by the large media outlets/content “owners”, plus the best government support campaign contributions and bribes can buy. The agenda is to seize control of the internet and individual’s computers, the goal being to “lock-down” (read, “they get paid every time you play”) content. The extremists running the white house find your rights to privacy inconvenient where their agenda is concerned, so hollywood’s efforts dovetail quite effectively with “homeland security”.

“When is this madness going to stop?”
It will not- until people stand up to these thugs. They will always want more (and take it if we let them).

People might also read the excellent article exposing this re-education campaign from May 2004 that was published by… Wired Magazine. One can be certain that the irony was not lost on the MPAA when coming up with a name for it’s “award.”

Right, nevermind that other crap like math and reading, who needs that stuff when the MPAA is offering you a chance to win a DVD player.

Is it just me or is the MPAA’s agenda completely out of hand?

When is this madness going to stop?

—this kind of crap—

It’s high up as one of the many reasons my wife, Liz, and I home-school our daughter, Emma, who’s now 8 3/4. She’s never been to school, thank God.

Sometimes, when I’m researching and writing these kinds of stories, I feel physically sick. This was one of those times.

Cheers!

I swear to god… If I ever heard this kind of crap when I was in school… Or if I ever see my kids getting this crap… I would/am soo going to fight it out with the schools…
Just like I did when the schools tryed to deprive my kids of video games! >_> and sent letters home to everyone about how bad games are for kids… well you know what… I proved them wrong in everyway… and I got them to stop it! XP
