Some parents of the more than 3,000 students of a Hefei middle school were displeased that their children were given the script of a lecture by US President Barack Obama, Xin'an Evening News reported on Sept 5.

Obama gave the lecture in September 2009 to students in Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, encouraging them to assume the responsibility to learn and develop their talents.

Sun Yeqing, vice-principal of the school in Hefei, capital of Anhui province, said he decided to distribute the script to the students at the opening of their third day of the semester because the speech is inspirational.

"His speech is specific and lively, and he told stories of individuals and his family. It's not empty. I think it's very easy for children to take in," he said.

Students said the lecture helped them realize the importance of education.

However, some parents said they worried that reading the script of an Obama speech instead of Chinese classics could adversely affect their children's cultural orientation.

"However, some parents said they worried that reading the script of an Obama speech instead of Chinese classics could adversely affect their children's cultural orientation."

No kidding. Their kids have already had quite enough Communist propaganda and don't need more from the jug-eared jackass.

Point well made, ironically the Chinese still push Communism in most all aspects of their society while completely abandoning it as economic policy.

Laughingly, the Communist policy that Obama promotes and imposes is the part that Chinese Communists have rejected and removed, they just kept the authoritarian statist tyranny.
