I think it's great that parents can opt out of having their children forced to listen to Barry's speech! We don't need indoctrinated drones. I'm sure they can spend their class time actually learning something truthful rather than a load of BS.
Would you be more in favor of a back to school speech by Limbaugh,Beck or Palin?
The speech is now out there for all to see/hear, what part of it do you righties not want your children to hear?
Why is he going around to all these schools making speeches anyway?
From what i understand every President makes one motivational speech to the students at the beginning of every school year..Never been a big deal in the past,wonder why it is now
I have no clue as to why anyone would care about this. this government run school is run by the government in utah. I personally wouldn't abuse a child by sending them to a government run school, but if I did, I would expect an opt out form if a lawyer/community organizer/politician came to speak.
Kids don't need permission to listen to a back to school speech by the President. Kids never needed permission to see the other things on TV that were broadcast in schools over the years, usually horrible things about people dying in explosions (Space Shuttle Columbia) or being murdered (JFK's funeral).
This was just in reaction to last years craziness about "indoctrination". We are a nation of idiots to allow that kind of stuff to be taken seriously. Seriously!
One could certainly speculate that most of our past presidents weren't socialists.
the president is not a politician? I didn't say he said anything offensive. all politicians offend me, and I wouldn't want to expose a child to the words of a politician.

I guess social studies is out then. The Founding Fathers, who some on this forum revere as almost deities, were politicians all.
big difference though. the politicians who are revered by some, actually fought in the revolutionary war. huge difference in actually believing in something, and wanted to advance a political career. social studies would be out. like I said, government schools offend me, and I wouldn't send a child to one.
