He has to fill the venue with people somehow..Kids are easy, they like pixie sticks!! Hopefully they'll be so creeped out by McOld and his creepy wife that they'll rebel and become libs..Kids tend to like people that have their future at heart not making the draft a reality.

I'm not sure I think this is great. If it was High School might be different if he was to be taught with a class. If the kids were younger no. If parents take their children that is different but to take kids there just to take them. I think it could be okay if they also took the same kids to a Obama rally and then talked about the two canidates and what they stand for.

I am sure that the school did as they always do and send home permission slips.
Any parent that did not want the child to go could have had them sit at school with the other 5 whose parents did not want them to go.

Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools


Last April, Sen. Obama dismissed Mr. Ayers as just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis." Yet documents in the CAC archives make clear that Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama were partners in the CAC.

Mr. Ayers is the founder of the "small schools" movement (heavily funded by CAC), in which individual schools built around specific political themes push students to "confront issues of inequity, war, and violence." He believes teacher education programs should serve as "sites of resistance" to an oppressive system. (His teacher-training programs were also CAC funded.) The point, says Mr. Ayers in his "Teaching Toward Freedom," is to "teach against oppression," against America's history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation.

McCain Camp Buses In School Kids To Fill Crowd
A local school district official confirmed after the event that of the 6,000 people estimated by the fire marshal to be in attendance this morning, more than 4,000 were bused in from schools in the area. The entire 2,500-student Defiance School District was in attendance, the official said, in addition to at least three other schools from neighboring districts, one of which sent 14 buses.

This happened -- as if a reminder were needed -- less than a week out from the election, when the heat of the campaign should be drawing record crowd
