Well, the content wasn't released until Labor Day weekend, surely these champions of organized labor can't expect the much-put-upon school staffers to blow their own family time on expediting this little BS parade.
FWIW I don't have a problem with a Presidential address to schoolkids, however the Oministration was their own worst enemy in how they handled this. The "Pledge" video (Aka "Ich schwoere mich an Barack Obama") was totally out of line and hit the bovine excrement hit the air impellers over that right about the time the speech was announced...then the Oministration decided to be quite opaque about what was in the speech, not releasing the content until after the end of the last school day before the address. The whole history of the thing creates every appearance that there really was a problem with it, and a hasty re-write was necessary to take the crazy stuff out.
