"In 2008, I missed the fact that Obama’s mother’s parents moved to Washington specifically to enroll Stanley Ann at Mercer Island High School, which reportedly had a reputation of Communist leanings, with some admitted Communist staff. In 2007-2008 I knew a lot about Obama’s background, but didn’t know that. The school had a hang-out area between the classrooms of two radical teachers known as Anarchy Alley. Ann Dunham fit perfectly in Anarchy Alley, so she was the last person any classmate thought would get into the disdained family way. It’s not really surprising though, as Obama Sr. was an unabashed Communist. He thought highly of himself, and had a lot of ideas that meshed with Ann’s. He fit her ‘intellectual vigor’ and worldly persona. Before getting to Stanley Ann’s Dunham’s time at Mercer Island, here’s a part of an earlier post of mine on Obama Sr. (In the video below, you’ll see a lot of what you already know, but it comes with Bill Whittle’s commentary which reinforces the “miracles” of the life of Barack Obama).
A quote from Obama Sr.:
Obama Sr. believed in the communal ownership of land, and the forced confiscation of privately controlled land. He wanted the nationalization of European and Asian owned enterprises, including hotels…and writing from Kenya for the East Africa Journal, Problems Facing our Socialism, published in July 1965, he wanted these operations handed over to the indigenous black population.” He attacked the economic proposals of pro-Western ideals proposed by African leader Tom Mboya. Obama sided with communist-allied leader Oginga Odinga (perhaps his cousin), who was backed by Soviets.
Oginga’s son, Raila had US Senator Barack Obama, as a US Presidential candidate, in Kenya campaigning for him. Raila Odinga lost, but eventually received an appointment as Prime Minister. As the election neared, a copy of an agreement surfaced showing that Raila Odinga promised Sharia law for portions of Kenya in exchange for the Muslim vote. The word was that the Evangelical Kenya Alliance interpreted the document and released it to the public. Others said it was a lie. Today Atlas Shrugs says the “human rights group International Christian Concern (ICC)…has concluded that the pro-Sharia version of the document is not a forgery. Christian Post also reported that the ICC claims there were two documents, one for public consumption without the Sharia agreement, and one that was secret promising Sharia. At one time, Evangelical Kenya Alliance had the document on their website. Today that page no longer appears, but I have portions of it in an article dated April 17, 2008 here.
Raila Odinga, who garnered Obama’s support was educated in East Germany and named his first son Fidel in honor of Fidel Castro.
The Anarchy Alley, so named by students, that so inspired Stanley Ann Dunham was located in a hallway of Mercer Island High School between the two classrooms teaching to think outside the republican democracy box.
After Ann’s graduation, the family moved to Hawaii and thus ensues Barack Sr., and avowed Communist Frank Marshall Davis, Obama’s mentor, thanks to Gramps Dunham. Whittle mentions that Obama was raised by “feral Marxists out in the wild. It’s all he knows.” If you’re paying attention, you know it’s true. Take a look at some of the comments of Stanley Ann’s friends and teacher’s at Mercer Island High:
One of Ann’s teachers mentioned below, Val Foubert, posted the following on his own website. He links to the original Chicago Tribune article, which is no longer online:
TIME Magazine says the Dunham’s “gravitated” toward Mercer Island High because of Stenhouse. If you have a subscription, you can read it here.
The article says that since many parents were outraged, the students began questioning parental authority, prompting parents to try to get the two teachers fired. The Dunhams were not among the Mothers’ Marches.
They began attending a Unitarian Church, leaving behind their Methodist and Baptist pasts. The church was known as “the little Red church on the hill,” according to the church’s senior pastor.
The article has a few rich details of the Barack Sr., and Ann Dunham romance – including some tidbits the Kenyan patriarch shared with the Dunham family about the marriage: “he didn’t want the Obama blood sullied by a white woman.” Nothing said about Barack Sr. currently already in a married state. It also says Senior finished his work at Harvard, but the truth is he did not. He was forced to leave for womanizing and drinking and never did write his dissertation."

A quote from Obama Sr.:
“…there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.
I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development.”

But her stop was more than some educational cup of coffee; Obama’s mother spent 8th grade through high school here. Four of those five years were spent on Mercer Island, a 5-mile-long, South American-shaped stretch of Douglas firs and cedars, just across from Seattle in Lake Washington.
Her parents, Stanley and Madelyn Dunham — he was a boisterous, itinerant furniture salesman in downtown Seattle, she worked for a bank and was the quiet yet firm influence at home — moved to Mercer Island in 1956, after one year in a Seattle apartment. The lure was the high school that had just opened and the opportunity it offered for their daughter, who was then 13….
But consistent with the 1950′s, there were undercurrents of turmoil. In 1955, the chairman of the Mercer Island school board, John Stenhouse, testified before the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party.

At Mercer High School, two teachers — Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman — generated regular parental thunderstorms by teaching their students to challenge societal norms and question all manner of authority. Foubert, who died rcently, taught English. His texts were cutting edge: “Atlas Shrugged,” “The Organization Man,” “The Hidden Persuaders,” “1984″ and the acerbic ritings of H.L. Mencken.
Wichterman taught philosophy. The hallway between the two classes was know as “anarchy alley,” and students pondered the challenging notions of Wichterman’s teachiings, including such philosophers as Sartre and Kierkegaard. He also touched the societal third rail of the 1950′s: He questioned the existence of God. and he didn’t stop there.
“I had them read ‘The Communist Manifesto,’ and the parents went nuts,” said Wichterman, adding that parents also didn’t want any discussions about “anything to do with sex,” religion and theology. the parental protests were known as “mothers’ marches.”
