Obama's speech to students- Your thoughts
On TCUnation, the news, radio, and websites there is a lot of talk about the speech Obama will give to students in the public school system on September 8th.
Some school systems have actually elected not to show the speech, others such as mine here in Florida will have alternate activity for those students whose parents would rather them not watch the speech.
What is your school system doing? Are you going or would you let your children watch the speech?

Thanks for the heads up, Maria. I'll be keeping my 11 year old daughter home from school Tuesday, as well.

I noticed on the poll there wasn't a spot for Hell NO!! I normally don't curse but in this case it is justified. This sound eerily like Hitler's youth. I agree with the marine David Hedrick, "Stay Away From My Kids" Just in case you aren't familiar with him, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rRE5UK6NQU&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Ftr... I don't care what party your for, don't push your beliefs on my children.
My Family Beliefs:
1. GOD
2. Family
3. Country
And I would Die for any of the Three....
Amen!!

Our superintendant has chosen to send home permission slips. If the parents say "no" the child will be in a separate room with alternate activities going on. I tend to agree with the person who said that Mr. O needs to leave politics out of our schools. He does sound rather Hitleresque by wanting to address the children... He wants to tell kids to stay in school, graduate, go to college? Do it at 6:00 P.M. on national television so parents can monitor the speech.

With the current condition of our country in almost all aspects, i would think that the usurper would not have enough time to be speaking to the schoolchildren.. Let's see, there is the financials woes of this nation, that alone should be keeping him in his office for the rest of his term (that can't come fast enough)... This guys spends way too much time on tv and not enough doing his job.. Most likley the reason he does not do his job is that he does not have the proper experience to know how, plus he is always campaigning, vacationing and spending tax dollars when he should be busy figuring out how to get the country out of this mess..
I say, leave our children and grandchildren alone.. We the parents and grandparents are the ones who teach and encourage them .. Parents are responsible for making sure their kids are compassionate, caring and responsible members of society, not the government.. It appears that the government wants to raise our kids now too..

My children attend a small, very conservative, private Christian school. The school feels it is NOT in the best interest of their mission as educators to disrupt the school day with a Presidential speech. Thank goodness for normal, logical educators. My children will be IN SCHOOL and NOT watching.

I posted a thread yesterday on this and it seems as though my daughters school system is trying to pull a fast one. We live in California, so naturally, the school is full of "followers"! I went to my daughters school office and asked the lady at the desk if the children would be watching it. She replied with, "Its up to the teachers to decide. If they decide that they are going to watch it, a letter will be sent home today". I then asked if the teacher decides yes, will there be alternative activities for the kids that don't watch it. She never answered that question. So I waited for my daughter to get out and asked her if she had a letter for me. No letter! I went to the class so ask the teacher. Substitute teacher was there and had NO idea what I was talking about! So there's no way that I am sending her to school to listen to his agenda!!

My other daughter, who is 4, attends a conservative Christian preschool. Her tacher said there is no way they will be watching it there. She told me that the only thing she will ever teach them about Obama is that he is the President and he lives in the White House!

In Kentucky, so many parents were calling the schools that the Kentucky Dept. of Education has said the schools do not have to participate. Some schools are participating but they have to offer an alternative for the students that do not.
They do not want those children to miss school because that would cause them to lose money.

EVERY school in this nation should ban that speech. We've seen who this man has aligned himself with in his past and with whom he still keeps contact and places as his czars. That tells me enough about the man to know for a certainty that I do not want him talking to my grandchildren.
I say, " KEEP AWAY FROM MY GRANDCHILDREN ! "

Sounds more like Mao Zedong than Hitler. Mao indoctrinated the youth of China and raised the red guard. Children turned on and reported anyone that dissented Mao Zedong. They beat their teachers and burned the schools. If you haven't already, you need to google city year. They wear red jackets and are eerily youth brigades like a youth army.
Believe me, parents should be alarmed about the president infiltrating our schools.

It is really sad that he has to use children to get his way - that may be the level he is on. It sure isn't the adult level.
