H\/T to Michelle Malkin<\/a> and one of our members who is a long time school teacher for bringing this to light.<\/p>\n

Some glaring errors in an issue of Scholastic’s student newspaper need correction.<\/p>\n

From this section on the tea party movement last fall:<\/p>\n

“The Tea Party movement was founded in 2009 to advocate smaller government, lower taxes, and a smaller national debt. According to a CBS News poll, 18 per cent of Americans identify themselves as Tea Party supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Tea Parties are filled with people who are average citizens,\u201d Ross told the Scholastic Kids Press Corps. \u201cWe are the heart and soul of what the American spirit is.\u201d<\/p>\n

U.S. Senator Dan Inouye of Hawaii disagrees.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think they\u2019re good Americans, but they go to the extreme,\u201d he said. \u201cThey\u2019re not covering the soul of America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inouye is a former veteran and spoke to the Scholastic Kids Press Corps at a rally where the VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars) endorsed Senator Barbara Boxer for U.S. Senate in California.<\/p>\n

\u2026In Nevada, Sharron Angle, a Tea Party-backed Republican candidate, has become a real threat to U.S. Senator Harry Reid, who currently serves as the Senate Majority Leader. Reid called out the big guns to go up against his opponent. Former President Bill Clinton was recently in Nevada campaigning for him and warning voters against casting their ballots in anger.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf any time in your life you make an important decision when you\u2019re mad, there\u2019s an 80 per cent chance you\u2019re going to make a mistake,\u201d Clinton said at a rally for Reid. \u201cI don\u2019t want people to abandon their anger. I want them to channel it so they can think clearly.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

CORRECTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tea party did NOT start in 2009 as Scholastic has stated… but in 2007.<\/p>\n

Even Senator Rand Paul stated recently that…<\/p>\n

“Since the tea party started as a reaction to Republicans who voted for TARP, and was strengthened into a national political force during the fight over ObamaCare, I believe this disqualifies both Romney and Gingrich from tea party support.” ~ Rand Paul<\/em><\/p>\n

Indeed the tea party started in 2007 during the BUSH administration on December 16th to be exact.<\/p>\n
