BRAINWASH
Rumor has it that students
at Saline High School have been
brainwashed in regard to our
recent millage problem.
Do you realize what Brainwashing means? Brainwashing
means the continual repetition D
of lies until the listener begins
to believe them. This then is
what is being fed to our children? Or is this what is being
spoken on the streets until people are believing it?
Recently, a Brochure was distributed among you. This Brochure was a sincere attempt; by
your School Board to present
the facts of the situation to you.
Did you read them? repeat
them? believe them? Probably
not! That was the truth.
Since when is it a crime to
tell our children the truth?
Since when is it a crime to believe the truth? Apparently,
since the birth of the "Something for nothing" philosophy.
As near as I know our children were told what will happen
if our millage vote is defeated
for the 3rd time.
Is this a lie? Is this brainwashing? I say Hogwash.
