I hate to generalize, & I know it isn't everybody, but I have to admit the most bat$h!t crazy things I ever have heard on this forum have almost always come out of Katy. Good Lord & Taylor what is wrong with people out there?
To those shocked, speechless, etc., or those who think I, or people who think like me are crazy, this video was shown to first graders. View it. Tell me what is common with all the people, and comments in the video. There is a theme in there, if you can't see it, well, you never will. There are always two sides, one side who can see no wrong, no matter what, and those who can see no wrong, no matter what. It is what it is.
I guess I missed the part where it said that it was shown to first graders. Will have to go back and watch it again. Just because a bunch of celebraties get together to make a video does not mean that the Obama endorsed or had anything to do with this. I saw no evidence of that but again, I will have to go back and watch it again.
I guess I don't see how a celebrity endorsed ad has anything to do with the leader of the free world encouraging the youth of the nation he serves to better themselves by staying in school and getting a good education. Or in Bush's case talking nationally to our students to...Just Say No To Drugs.
That is a different league than first graders who listen and believe anything an adult tells them, obviously junior high students don't listen. BTW, despite the knucklehead with the gun (and no ammo), that junior high school is rated 10 out of 10, so that dumb event does not reflect on the majority of the students, or citizens of Katy.
... Or in Bush's case talking nationally to our students to...Just Say No To Drugs.
That phrase was coined by the Reagan administration, though Bush Senior was Vice President. I think everybody agrees that the War on Drugs was a miserable failure.

EDIT: Found this tucked at the very bottom of a Houston Chronicle article about this issue.
"In 1989, President George H.W. Bush used a nationally televised speech to schoolchildren to push an anti-drug campaign. He urged young people to stop using drugs."
I am not talking about who coined it....just going off what The Houston Chronicle reported about Bush addressing students nationally. I apologize. It does not say "just say no to drugs". I stand corrected.
I can clearly remember my Mother making me watch TV of (if it was now she'd have me watching web videos I'm sure) and if possible go to speeches and statements made by LBJ, Nixon, Carter, Governors, etc..because she said it was important to know how government worked, what our leaders said - even if not everyone agreed - and to respect and respectfully disagree when I felt like it, our elected leaders. She always said it was important for Democracy.
What does this have to do with what Obama is going to do? Wait I know, it has nothing to do with it.
Has this been answered yet?
I thought you were posting a link to Obama actually speaking on the subject of being responsible students, etc...etc...
I can see why this video would raise the ire of people on the right since stem-cell research and health care for the elderly was raised.
Other than that, what is wrong with showing any child that people pledge to volunteer more, support UNICEF, stop reacting on the road to bone-headed drivers with raising your middle finger and generally try to live like law-abiding, caring citizens? NOTHING as far as I can see except that the people who are in this video are probably all Obama supporters. Whoever produced this video might have considered adding Clint Eastwood, Stephen Baldwin, Ann Coulter, Patricia Heaton and Chuck Norris. If they had maybe we wouldn't even be having this discussion.
But again, I have to ask - what does THIS video have to do with Katy ISD parents' concern over Obama's reported webcam address to school children?
