I knew I started a thread about Obama and a new civil war. Here it is.

I find the following article disturbing:

Disney will give "Lincoln" DVD to every middle, high school in U.S.

The Denver Post

An arm of Disney will provide a free copy of Steven Spielberg's Academy Award-nominated "Lincoln" to every middle and high school in the country when the film comes out on DVD, the entertainment giant announced Tuesday.

Disney Educational Productions said the gift to the nation's schools is in conjunction with the launching of a "social action campaign" they are calling "Stand Tall: Live Like Lincoln."

Along with the movie itself, Disney Educational will provide a teaching guide.

In a statement, Spielberg said he received letters from teachers asking if they could use the film in classrooms. The movie, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, chronicles Lincoln's difficult final months in office and the final days of the Civil War.

The announcement came on the 16th president's birthday — all but forgotten since the merge with the anniversary of George Washington's birth into Presidents Day.

The massive donation is being funded by Participant Media, DreamWorks Pictures and Fox/Newscorp. A spokesman for Disney said he was unsure how much it would cost. The U.S. Department of Education estimates there are 26,407 public and 10,693 private high schools in the country. The number of middle schools is less clear.

I haven't seen the movie, but I know that Disney has a long history or propagandizing. And here they're working in conjunction with Fox News to distribute a Hollywood film that will come with a "teaching guide." And what are Spielberg's politics? If he leftist, a rightie or what?

This stinks, and I put the story on the "civil war" thread because we're constantly bombarded with images of Obama as Lincoln. Lincoln the war president. Lincoln the dictator. Lincoln the emancipator.   We're being pushed in the direction of civil war, and now it looks like school kids are going to be propagandized by "Dreamworks" and Fox News. Disturbing.
