Anyone else's school district not showing Obama's education address?
   
Our district is caving to the few people gutsy enough to call and complain that Obama is going to indoctrinate their kids.

4. Show's huge disrespect for the office of the President of the US
   
Sure will send a loud message to kids - education is not important.
Maybe it's a message that people don't want their kids fed propaganda?

A small relatively new fire.

Great news that schoodistricts are opting out of dear leader's first whack at our kids.

BTW the smartest administration ever finally updated their web page for this indoctrination.

Flashback 1991: Gephardt Called Bush's Speech to Students 'Paid Political Advertising'
By Noel Sheppard (Bio | Archive)
September 3, 2009 - 10:45 ET 

As Barack Obama prepares a nationwide broadcast to America's students next Tuesday, it has been revealed that Democrats complained in 1991 when then President George H. W. Bush broadcast a speech from a Northwest Washington junior high school.

In fact, the House Majority leader at the time, Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), said "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students."

Such was reported by the Washington Post on October 3, 1991 (h/t KY3 Political Notebook via Chuck Todd):

Quote
House Democrats criticized President Bush yesterday for using Education Department funds to produce and broadcast a speech that he made Tuesday at a Northwest Washington junior high school.

The Democratic critics accused Bush of turning government money for education to his own political use, namely, an ongoing effort to inoculate himself against their charges of inattention to domestic issues. The speech at Alice Deal Junior High School, broadcast live on radio and television, urged students to study hard, avoid drugs and turn in troublemakers.

"The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students," House Majority Leader Richard A. Gephardt (D-Mo.) said. "And the president should be doing more about education than saying, 'Lights, camera, action.' "

Two House committees demanded that the department explain the use of its funds for the speech, an explanation that Deputy Secretary David T. Kearns provided late in the day in a letter to Rep. William D. Ford (D-Mich.), chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. Education Secretary Lamar Alexander was out of town.  [...]


Rep. Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.), chairwoman of the Select Committee on Children, Youth and Families, said it was outrageous for the White House to "start using precious dollars for campaigns" when "we are struggling for every silly dime we can get" for education programs.

Rep. Martin Frost (D-Tex.) said that if Bush feels obliged to use government funds to hire outside consultants "to make him look good," then he should fire some of the public relations experts on the White House payroll. "Then the president might be more sympathetic to unemployment benefits," Frost said, referring to Bush's threat to veto legislation to extend benefits.



Makes one wonder if today's media, with the economy in what they've repeatedly called the worst recession since the Great Depression, will question Obama's use of education funds for his upcoming speech.

After all, when you look at Education Secretary Arne Duncan's letter concerning this event, one has to assume it's costing the Department a great deal of money.

The DUmmies don't think parents should be able to opt out of having their children watch El Presidente.

Sounds like a splendid idea......but you're still going to pay for the gubmint school whether your kid uses it or not. Ain't government a bitch? :loser: I would say to get a voucher and move your kids elsewhere, but Dear Leader is doing away with those. The irony, it burns. :evillaugh:

Here's the point that was made in the reference you posted:

Quote from:

And here's their responses:

10. If this is true, the big difference is

That the speech was probably shown anyway. No opting out options.

11. True, because Dem parents wouldn't make a stink about it...

14. And they weren't calling him a fascist, socialist, etc. It sounds like the complaints were about funding, not 'mind control'and 'indoctrination'.

I would bet that 99.9% of the parents who are objecting have no clue about the funding or the costs. That's not why they are pulling their kids out.

15. Well, in October of 1991, Bush was facing potential primary opponents and also the 1992 election was a little over a year away.

Timing is eveything.

So to answer the question if the liberals "with the economy in what they've repeatedly called the worst recession since the Great Depression, will question Obama's use of education funds for his upcoming speech," the answer is "No, they won't."  Typical hypocrites.

And if this were Bush instead of Dear Leader, is there any doubt the primitives would be up in arms screaming at the top of their lungs and calling it fascism and indoctrination?  No, there's not.  That's a fact that's not even up for discussion or debate.

Since democrats/progressives/socialists have no moral compass to begin with........it is not difficult for them to ignore their own hypocrisy........we, unfortunately, are constantly constrained by our consciences.......

It was the federal mandated teaching points that were scary and yes, Hitler, Mao, and every other totalitarian third world country does this.

Top Ten US Military Slogans
10. We don’t like collateral damage, but it helps to stay the @#$% out of our way.

9. Total destruction in 30 minutes or the next one is free.

8. Often mistaken for the wrath of God.

7. We kill foreigners so you don’t have to.

6. If everything is exploding around you, that’s probably us.

5. Dictator got you down? Ask about our new “regime change” policy!

4. Just point at what you want dead.

3. Trying to win hearts and minds, but willing to splatter them if necessary.

2. When it absolutely positively has to be destroyed overnight.

1. We’re from the government, and we’re here to kill you.

They have a really messed up definition of censorship. They are fine asnd happy if government shuts down talk radio but when independent school districts decide for themselves that this interruption is not conducive to a learning environment and that regular people making their voice heard to school officials is somehow censoring the most powerful person on Earth. A video that will be on TV, online, transcripted in newspapers and even on the radio is somehow 'censored' when not intruding upon the school day.
