What is wrong with parents who are complaining about Obama talking to their kids about staying in school?

I saw some woman on TV today raving about socialism. I agree it's a good idea to encourage kids to stay in school, it's good for society, but where is this woman getting her information? Somehow encouraging kids to stay in school is socialism? If we keep encouraging people like this, we will fall behind real socialist countries like Cuba.What is wrong with parents who are complaining about Obama talking to their kids about staying in school?
Learn the rest of the story before you start the overused, beaten down tactic of marginalizing someone--as if that hasn't been done 200 times on here today. He is including LESSON PLANS. That is a problem.What is wrong with parents who are complaining about Obama talking to their kids about staying in school?
They don't like the idea of assignments after the speech. There was a question asking how the students can help the president. That question has been re-written. (However, that question was asked of school children during WWII.) I guess they are afraid that a 15 minute speech by a non-conservative republican is going to turn their children into socialists. They can always tell little Johnny and Jill that everything the president said was a socialist lie. They will believe their parents, until they are at least 11 or 12.
they are sending an extremely negative message to our students with their outrage that is being flamed by national media coverage and radio talk show hosts.





Efforts to prevent school children from hearing an address from the POTUS urging them to set goals in life and stay in school is politics at its worse.





Rachael - that is exactly what the President is wanting. Are you going to apologize for being wrong about it after you hear the speech?





Courtney - that borders on ';you need to seek help'; level. You apparently haven't heard that half of all abortions are performed on women who have a ';conservative'; background.
The speech was never the problem...it was the lesson plan given to teachers on how to 'discuss' it.





What is the President trying to tell me?


What is the President asking me to do?


What do you think the President wants us to do?


Does the speech make you want to do anything?


Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?





Indoctrination is distinguished from education by the fact that the indoctrinated are expected not to question or critically examine what they have learned. . This document is silent as to any critical analysis of the ';speech'; given by the President.
Haven't heard anyone complaining about the Obama puff piece telling the munchkins to work hard, although I will say that's the parents job and I doubt any unmotivated kid is going to get off his *** and start working because Comrade Obama told him to. No, sport, the issue is the ';lesson plans'; that Comrade Obama's Education ***** distributed that indoctrinates the little munchkins to believe in their Messiah.
The liberal seeks to dominate any institution which can weaken or destroy individual parental rights - public schools, child abuse agencies, pediatric associations, etc..


The liberal applauds the imprisoning of homeschooling parents who dare to raise their children outside the control of collectivist public schools. Liberals believe that passing religious values to children is a form of child abuse.
I have no clue. There is some sort of mass hysteria running through America now. It is fueled by ignorance, hate, special interest and few pissed of politicians.





Every president in the past has given such a speech. So why now is this so terrible. Grow up people. Do any of you remember what GW Bush, Jr was doing on the morning of 911? I'll give you a clue: Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida.





So all these people doing all the complaining and whining and name calling or worse now look pretty darn ignorant. Do Americans have the right to be ignorant?
YOu don't know what all he's going to say, do you? No, you don't. He's trying to indoctrinate our children just like Hitler did. He's a communist socialist b@stard and we don't need him telling our children what to think. We'll teach them what we want them to know, he has NO business telling our children what to do, NONE.
If he keeps it to encouraging kids in school....FINE...





But ...no....He plans on talking to them about talking to their parents on health care and accusing the parents of denying others so they can get theirs....odd how he is using the children to try and influence the parents...Hmmm didn't Adolph do the same???


And ...Where is the ACLU on this FORCING children to listen...is there an OPT OUT available....





NO....AND HISTORY SHOWS%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;%26gt;NO President sitting or not has EVER BEFORE demanded access to the children of the country....but then again you libs will forgive or excuse ANYTHING a liberal does...even MURDER....right Teddy...getting a earful from Mary Jo?
Nothing, if that was his only message. However he wants to promote his administration and the socialist agenda. He wants to know how my kids can help him out.





I told my kids to send him a copy of the constitution to have him read it.
You are burying your head in the sand again. His speech will probably be; Children, convince your parents to believe in me as the ruling emperor and savior of the world, the one and only Messiah, praise allah and down with white people.
because he isn't just wanting the ';Stay in school message';


and i don't blame parents either I would have my kids stay home as well and have them do home work from the previous day.





and i would talk to them about it.
I guess they must have pretty stupid kids if they need to be that coddled and protected. I never worried about what my children heard or saw. I raised them to question and think for themselves.
Since the speech has yet to be released how do you know what it is about? Where do you get your info that it is about staying in school?
If liberals would stop aborting babies who could have some children that would follow in his footsteps. For the time being he just needs to leave mine alone. :)
those parents are teaching their children to not respect the presidency, setting a bad example...do they want them to badmouth the next republican president?
You must do a little more than skim the surface, dear boy.





Keep looking at it. This beast can't hide anymore. Bwahahahha
School is bad, it advances society. LOOL
