And what if he does? You all have your panties in a bunch over nothing. Nothing. No where has anyone credible suggested he's going to do anything besides talk about education. There is no evidence that he plans to do what you all think he's going to do. None.

I think you will, and are happy to.
Actually, I would keep my eyes and ears open to what he is doing.
I would make sure this isn't just the start of 'messages' that aren't simply encouraging.

"Glenn and Rush" I don't listen to them...

I just posted as to what the person may have been referring to as "brown shirts".

Is this no longer true:

"If we forget the past we are doomed to relive it"

And do we as Americans no longer have the right to question what our elected officials may or may not be up to?

What an odd question. Why would you think you dont?

Did you get upset when George W Bush spoke to schoolchildren via television?

Are we able to do what the president is asking of us?
or how about these things from "during the speech"
What is the president asking me to do?

Keep in mind that this is for preK-6th grade

How about a MovOn.org commercial instead of a broadcast some administrators are going to "compel" teachers to air?
