Chaves To Dictate School Curriculum

Hugo Chaves takes over schools public and private.

AP via Yahoo: 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,"

I suppose the new citizens will also have all kinds of cool state imposed extra curricular activities, like say The Junior Anti-Sex League.

Sex gets in the way of Chaves worship time.
