   I thank God every day that my kids go to a school where everyone from the Administration to the teachers have strong Christian values and don’t try to indoctrinate liberal views into my kids. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in a public school. I know they’ll have no problems ignoring this “speech”, and continue with the real education that I send my kids to school to receive.

   I work in Asheville, NC. Other than that, I spend as little time there as possible. It is Berkeley-lite; different from most of the rest of western NC, which tends to lean toward conservative values and self-reliance.

   I wonder if Mizz Harris has pulled her head of out her a$$ long emough to notice that, guess what, the US military is still in Iraq and Afghanistan.

   As of today, The Zero has been in office 224 days. That’s 224 opportunities he has missed to get the US out of this “senseless” war.

   Mizz Harris, have you communicated your displeasure to The Zero about the continuation of this “senseless” war.

   No? I understand. It’s hard to be heard when your head is so firmly wedged into that place where the sun doesn’t shine.

   What is the President trying to tell me?

   He (thinks he) is the lord our god. Don’t argue with him…he’s omnipotent.

   How about allowing parents to attend with their children and discuss the content at home before turning in any assignments?

   I understand their objective is not to actually educate, rather indoctrinate, but if enough parents demand it the response would be interesting.

   I read about this earlier, and am seeing red. Just finished emailing my administrator to ask if our district or school is participating. If so, I will not be in the building if it is going to be broadcast over the PA system. Told him I’d either have to take a personal day or have someone cover my class while I leave the building for its duration— won’t be any good the rest of the day anyway, if my blood is boiling.

   I’m the only faculty member in my building (and only one of two in the whole district) who is not a member of the teacher’s union, and probably only one of about six or eight who is not an Obama supporter. Guess that means I won’t get a lot of sympathy or support. If I were a parent, I’d be pretty upset, too. At the very least, they should have the option of sending their kids to another room, where they won’t have to listen to this garbage; I’ll gladly supervise that room, regardless of how many students opt out of the indoctrination speech. What can I do for Obama?… turn my back to him if we ever happen to be in the same room at the same time. He won’t want to see what’s burning behind my eyes. But honestly, I’m more worried about what I can do for my students. They shouldn’t have to sit through this tripe. Dear Lord, please let my administrators have enough sense not to go through with this.

   Having read the K-6 and the 7-12 teacher’s manuals, the only thing that I see is missing is a collection of quotations from the little red book that Der Leader carries. No sarc. intended.

   FWIW, a copy of an e-mail sent to my son’s school’s principle

   “Principle XXX,

   It is my understanding that on 09/08, there will be a nationwide address from the White House to school children. As a parent of a student at W.T. Woodson, I find this an extremely disturbing, unwelcome, unwarranted and an unprecedented intrusion by the Executive Office into what should be a fair, balanced, non partisan learning environment.

   As parents and their children have the right to opt out their children of some aspects of the educational curriculum, I would like to know how this speech will be handled at Woodson and what options a student will have should they wish to opt out from this speech?

   Regards”

    During the 2008 campaign (add to that several years prior if you feel so inclined), then Senator Obama did indeed say he wanted to fundamentally change America…and we need to “hope” for this change. Then he won. His mission is not to necessarily occupy the Oval Office as the administrator, but as he sees it, to change America. It’s just as he promised. His words, not mine. None of us need to be surprised that this is happening. After all, Germany fell for similar words from a candidate once upon a time. The dumbing down of America and lack of morals have lead to a repeat of history.

    So it only seems natural at this point that his words will be piped into classrooms, into the minds of children, who have had a 40 year headstart on socialist instruction and history revision.

    Elections have consequences.

    I don’t have kids, but this seems to be a good time to volunteer my time during the presentation and wear my McCain/Palin shirt.
