Supporting Obama is not the same thing as advocating education. As I clearly stated in multiple postings about this topic, if his speech is about things such as personal responsibility then that is fine. If it gets into a marketing pitch for Obama, it isn't.
I have an idea kids....hows about instead of having prearranged hysterics over his speech, you shut up & wait to actually hear his speech. That sounds like the mature thing to do, doesn't it?

Reading it prior to being delivered is what I have been advocating, histrionics seems to be coming from those who believe critical evaluation isn't important.

You're serious? Wow, you must be in denial. All the hysteria has been coming from the right. Totally completely deluded hysteria. I'm starting to think the water's been tampered with, there's no other explanation for the madness that's been occurring.

And you lefties would only be opposed to prayer in school if it was a Christian prayer....I'll bet none of you would object to Muslim, Buddhist, or Wiccan prayers.....you would consider that "diversity."

You must be selectively reading this thread, my response was to the below posting, and I think the indignation is coming from your side here:

Never thought of that, but you just night be right Mr. Beale. Exactly so.

Yeah, I can read. I know exactly what you were responding to. That doesn't alleviate the fact that there is much ado about nothing going on from the right. You're denying the hysteria? All you have to do is read almost every single post on this forum.
