Venezuela's Chavez may take over schools By IAN JAMES, Associated Press Writer
Mon Sep 17, 2:49 PM ET

CARACAS, Venezuela - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez threatened on Monday to close or take over any private school that refuses to submit to the oversight of his socialist government as it develops a new curriculum and textbooks.

"Society cannot allow the private sector to do whatever it wants," said Chavez, speaking on the first day of classes.

All schools, public and private, must admit state inspectors and submit to the government's new educational system, or be closed and nationalized, with the state taking responsibility for the education of their children, Chavez said.

A new curriculum will be ready by the end of this school year, and new textbooks are being developed to help educate "the new citizen," said Chavez's brother and education minister Adan Chavez, who joined him a televised ceremony at the opening of a public school in the eastern town of El Tigre.

The president's opponents accuse him of aiming to indoctrinate young Venezuelans with socialist ideology. But the education minister said the aim is to develop "critical thinking," not to impose a single way of thought.

Tyrants always try to get their claws into children... Young Communists, The Hitler Youth, GIL, and so on...

One of stupidest people on the planet. He could become one of the most powerful and respected in short order by exercising only moderate intelligence and common sense.

Sounds like jhat01's idea of paradise. After all, he's the one so vigorously opposed to teachers being allowed to speak their minds in class.

haha, nice try, Karl Rove. No, I'm not in the Chavez fan club, but you obviously
approve of his methods of forcing teachers to only spout the party line and
not be allowed to be critical of the ruling party.

No offense spider, but if you don't give a ****, don't post about him. Apparently we don't like him and like to point out his socialist agenda step by step. It isn't hurting you. Just move along.
