Jim Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 They must lay awake at night trying to think of how to out-moron one another.------- Educators across America found themselves at the center of a political storm this week as conservatives exploded in anger over President Obama's plans to give a speech to the country's schoolchildren. A stunned White House insisted the address, planned for Tuesday, and accompanying suggested lesson plans are meant simply to encourage students to study hard and stay in school. But some parents said they aren't buying it. They said they're convinced the president is going to use the opportunity to press a partisan political agenda on impressionable young minds. "Thinking about my kids in school having to listen to that just really upsets me," a suburban Colorado mother, Shanneen Barron, told CNN affiliate KMGH-TV in Denver. "I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now." GOP leaders have not shied away from the debate. Florida Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer released a statement Monday accusing Obama of using taxpayer money to "indoctrinate" children. Watch the debate over the president's speech » "As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology," Greer said.

KaskadskyjKozak Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Having the President address the children (as a captive audience) in this manner is highly disturbing - reminiscent of the worst totalitarian regimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choada_Boy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Ah yes, the Right Wing falls even deeper off of the deep end. Do they actually believe this shit? If so, we are about 0.5 generations away from obliteration. Carry on... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaskadskyjKozak Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Maybe Obama should include a portion in his speech about "personal responsbility" explaining how you it is OK to break all your campaign promises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush gave an address to schools nationwide in 1991, from a junior high school in Washington, D.C. News reports from the time said the White House hoped that the address would be shown at schools nationwide, and Bush began his remarks by saying he was talking to "millions" of students "in classrooms all across the country.""

This is a total outrage - and you'd feel the same if Bush had tried it. no i wouldn't - i routinely show the state of the union and other major presidential speeches to my social studies class - duh! it's s-o-c-i-a-l s-t-u-d-i-e-s. if i followed it up with a "so what did you children think about the powerful words that the Great Leader just said?" or "how can you help make the Great Leader's plans a reality?" that would be uber-disturbing, but that's not the gameplan - it's a critical discussion - do you agree or not? how likely is this to come to pass? how would you have done it differently? is this an important issue or not, etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choada_Boy Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm sure his speech will be all about the tenets of National Socialism and how it will help in forming Nazi Death Panels and Death Camps for Gramma. What a wicked, evil, man, with his deep seated hatred of white people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is our government speaking directly to students in a forced environment. It is total bullshit. Your lesson plans are subject to curricula, and parents can find out what is being taught. And you are accountable. Totally different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
