If you're not more than a little disturbed by this, please go back and read your copy of the Constitution. If you don't have one, call me and I'll send you one. Why? Because nowhere in that document, or in its many amendments, will you find that the Federal government has been assigned the responsibility or power over public education. That, my friends, is one of the biggies that is left to the states under their original sovereignty.
Nevertheless, Comrade Obama is planning to beam into our public schools, on September 8, to all grades and all schools that receive public funding, a speech of content that is yet to be determined, but is pretty obvious. There is little doubt in my mind that, his "Town Hall" campaign having gone down in flames, Comrade Obama intends to push his government healthcare agenda by scaring the wits out of our kids, so they will go home and cry, "Mommy, Daddy, why don't you support the President's plan?" No doubt he will also try to convince the kids that he, and he alone, is the savior of America, and they need to listen to him about what to do to ensure their future
A study guide has been distributed for teachers' use, which includes some of the following statements:
Come to think of it, not only is Comrade Obama unconstitutionally projecting his Federal office into the public schools, he is interposing himself between our children and their parents, who should have the primary role in forming the beliefs and value systems of young people as they grow. But see, this is how liberals work. They believe the rest of us are just plain too stupid to take care of ourselves and our children, and believe it is their role and place in society to tell us what we should do down to the nth detail of our lives. And then tax us to death to run the bureaucracies that will be in charge of telling us what to do. I have heard several people say they are going to pull their children out of school September 8. If sufficient numbers do so, it will jeopardize school funding in the fractional increment represented by that day. On the other hand, I suspect that if schools choose to not run the speech, it could jeopardize some amount of Federal funding - the usual gun to the head approach our Federal government uses. If this thing is going to happen, it is the responsibility of all Americans to become infinitely aware not only of the content of Comrade Obama's speech, but of the in-class discussions held in conjunction with the speech. The subjects and content should be discussed with our children, and they must be disabused ofany erroneous notions the Comrade dares to push on them. Best of all, our children need a strong lesson on the Constitution, and their duty as a member of a free society to not swallow whole what the government tells them, but to question authority with their minds, their mouths, their pens, and ultimately their money and their vote. In the meantime, we have less than a week to register our protest at this blatant end-run of state educational authority, and more particularly, parental authority by an Administration that is moving more rapidly toward socialism than any of us could have imagined.
Now we are on the same page!

With the overexposure of the Hillary & Obama nomination circus & now into the general election campaign plus all the 24 hr. mass media coverage has the Obama "message" that has now been repeated tens of 1000s of times finally started to brainwash people?

I can't understand how anyone can trust Obama in anything that he says. Welcome to the Soviet US.

I agree you can send us a that document to be informed about educational problems because sometimes we don't know enough about it.
