Albert S. Herlong Jr. who was a Democrat Congressman from the state of Flordia warned of the socialist-communist agenda infiltrating the American school systems. On January 10, 1963, he read into the Congressional Record, the list of Communist goals for America and I agree with every word he has said. He said this over 56 years ago when there was not all the chaos in our country with the things listed here by the congressman. This was a Democrat speaking not a Republican or an independent. But an honest American who spoke the truth and how true is every word he spoke. The Congressman warned of the socialist-communist agenda that was then starting to infiltrate our schools. Please go to the source listed at the end of this article and read it for your self. Here is what he said;
- Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of separation of church and state.
- Control schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and the current Communist propaganda.
- Soften the curriculum. Get control of the teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks. Control student newspapers.
- Infiltrate churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion (i.e. "social justice, liberation theology")
- Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch"
- Discredit American culture.
- Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and divorce.
- Present homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

Since the reading of this in Congress in 1963, our country has done just about 180-degree turn in just about everything that is important to the American people. Our schools are in such bad shape we have to have police officers patrolling the halls, for the most part, to keep kids in line. But the politically correct term is to call them resource officers. We can no longer say anything about Adam and Eve in school but now the new norm is Adam and Steve which is being taught as a normal, natural, and healthy way of life. Some of the children do not know if they are a boy or girl so we have created a number 3 on drivers licenses and birth certificates to help them out. We have liberal professors in our colleges teaching socialism along with their brand of liberalism. We have babies in the womb being murdered and our government upholds the practice while punishing people that kill certain species of wildlife. Where is this country headed to? We have cities called sanctuary cities that defy the federal government and give illegals a place to live and all they need to survive while the homeless and veterans live on the streets in tents. There is so much hate between the elected officials' nothing will ever get done to better this country. This nation is headed down the broad road of destruction with increasing speed.
