Anne Frank

in the RockOperetta titled "the plural of deer are finally Here" Introducing the Cast member called "the angel of anne frank" ////// story - Anne Frank hid from the evil Nazis. She lived in a tiny room w/ little food and there was no quality of life. Today wherever there is WAR there are many more Anne Franks wishing WAR would end. Today thousands of innocent people fear USA bombs and USA foreign policy. Let's all try to find the Anne Frank's of today and this TIME .... come to HER rescue ! //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////// Above I described the parallel between the persecution of Anne Frank and the victims injured by Today's war in iraq. There are also millions of Anne Franks trapped by Political & Economic Policies promoted by Developed Nations. USA leads the fight in keeping developing countries down. USA foreign policy is dictated by un-Checked Multi-National Corporations rigging unScrupulous business transActions for an unFair edge. Some Other players participate in this diabolical cabal. Fortune 500 CEOs, Military Officers, Defense Industry Corps, Politicians, and some US citizens collectively Benefit unFairly from extracting raw materials and labor out of the Third World under the umbrella excuse called "keeping costs down and profits up." So while USA shareholders demand higher returns on their investment, the hunt for cheap factory operating costs Results in Transforming third world cities into slums.... all in exchange for boosting US investments. Anne Frank of today is also the little girl that goes to work in a factory in cd. Juarez to make garments & toys of Misery for Rich USA citizens that demand deals at the shopping mall. The child belongs in school but instead works excruciating Days coercively obligated to sewing machines staring at an ugly barbed wire fence... and on the North side of the fence Lexus, Mercedes, & Hummers Buzz by with bumper stickers that PROMOTE an Evil Regime that will use military force to keep the Earths Poorest Poor trapped behind a Harmful & Heinous Fence. There is hope and the stewardess will be offering recommendations for remedy. Slavery shall End soon as the physical fence disappears and the Coercive Political and Economic Forces dissolve and thus and therefore Anne Frank shall be rescued. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////Many teachers are challenged with keeping the classRoom Activies INteresting and Varied to Spark the interest of Students///////Some Teachers Have Asked for Details on the "Angel of Anne Frank" Learning Unit taught at the Dixie DEER Academy.
