Imagine if Bush had done this?
The left are such hypocrits.
Michelle Bissonnette teaches English at Los Altos High School, Los Altos, Calif.
Jason Raymond teaches English and journalism at The High School for Law and Public Service, New York, N.Y.
José Rodríguez is a bilingual teacher at Knowles Elementary in Leander, Texas
Hopefully he just encourages them to follow their dreams, rather than laying the Marxist guilt trip on them that he and Michelle are known for.
“Obama will require you to work.”, etc.
Oops! We were close posting it!
Imagine if Bush had done this?
The left are such hypocrits.
what are the odds that his handlers have smartened up and won’t have him mention health care?
Whj the heck should the “President of the United States” be telling your children to do anything and why should they care? This is disgusting.
Incidentally, Bush’s education dept. was largely responsible for stopping the dread “bilingual education,” which kept children ignorant in two languages (not only English and Spanish, but English and Hmong, English and Arabic, etc.). Teachers liked it because they got a Federally subsidized bonus pay for taking a class in whatever language it was and then speaking it badly to their students, and school districts liked it because they got more money with which they would hire near-illiterates who were native speakers of those languages to “teach” in the bilingual classrooms. But Bush stopped funding this joke. I see that Obama and the teachers’ union have brought it back.
my daughter is 6YO....every time he hear’s “orak obama’s” name on the radio or sees him on TV she always boo’s and gives the thumbs down sign....and I never encouraged it....
this should be fun....
One of the questions teachers are going to ask the students..and the easy answer should be no one knows..
Who is the President of the United States?
There is no way I would let my child be subjected to this garbage... Any parent that understands the true intentions of the Obummer administration would be negligent in their parental duties if they let their child watch this. Any parent that doesn't understand the true intentions of the Obummer administration is either sticking their head in the sand or is a socialist that welcomes the suffering that comes out way.
First it is the brownshirt SEIU and ACORN thugs. Now it is the indoctrination of our children to make them into "Obama Youth"... "So Johnny, what do mommy and daddy talk about at the dinner table? Are there any guns in your house?"
Keep your powder dry, boys... The battle is coming soon...

“Obama to make unprecedented address to all public school students”

Question authority. The Socialists are in charge now.
He’s going to be on in the evening, too.

What business is it of B.O.’s (or any president) to tell anyone what they should think or do? The president is the CEO of the federal government. He is the top bureaucrat and commander-in-chief of the military. Both are large and important jobs to be taken seriously. But the president is not the moralist-in-chief. He may have to cheerlead in times of crisis but this is more a “let’s all pull together and get the job done” appeal and is not to be confused with “everyone should think and believe X, Y and Z and be acting accordingly”.
We have had maybe 3 presidents (at the most) who are worthy of being taken as moral exemplars and none of them is among the living.
These guys who get elected as president are, in the words of George Will, “just fellas”. In most cases their one great talent was an ability to talk a lot of people into voting for them. In the case of our current occupant of the White House that is his ONLY observable talent. B.O. has demonstrated NOTHING that qualifies him to instruct others in morals or ethics.
“When an opponent declares, ‘I will not come over to your side,’ I calmly say, ‘Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community’.”
Adolph Hitler Speech November 1933
In case the other one gets locked:
“Kids, tell you parents they need to buy the new, small electric cars GM is going to sell or we are going to ruin the planet. Also tell them that if we don’t pass cap and trade, the polar bears are going to drown in boiling water. And tell them if they don’t pass a full government health insurance reform with the public option, they are being selfish. If you don’t understand what I just said, that’s OK. After I am done, your teachers will spend the rest of the day having you memorize the little cards they are handing out.”
“The most important thing: have a sad face when you do your little speech. Make it like you are almost going to cry. If they start asking questions or criticize what you said, start crying and say, ‘I don’t want the planet ruined! I don’t want the polar bears boiled! I want you to help others and not be selfish!’ Then break down into miserable sobs. After a while, tone it down a bit but keep little whimpers and sniffles going until bedtime. If you father say, ‘Shut the hell up or I’ll kick your ass!’ then remember what Eddie Murphy said and shut the hell up. Next day, report him on our special web page http://youcan.snitchonyourparents.gov.";;
“Fo shizzle, I gots to bounce! Obama, out, y’all.”
Read that again. It doesn't say "what they can do to help their country." It says "what they can do to help the president."
If I were teaching, I'd be asking my students "What is wrong with this sentence?"
“Fight your parents for me!” said Obama. “Fight your churches. Fight your ignorant friends who aren’t as smart as you. Fight the people against government healthcare. Join our ranks, you will be part of my national civilian security forces. You will be the vanguard. You will have the power. The era of Obama has begun. End Transmission.”

Another case where he takes advantage where there is nothing anyone can do to stop him and he has a captive audience. Although a creative con law attorney could maybe request an injunction on the grounds that he lacks con law authority to reach into the elementary school classrooms this way.
Hitler in sepia tones is no less despotic than the older Austrian version. The idea that an "American" elected Office Holder has some mandate to direct the thinking of American youth, via an institutionalized mass indoctrination session, should certainly give one pause.
There are two of these “talking-point “group-speak” docs on government website:

Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows
The first one is for K-6
• Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
What do you think the President wants us to do?
Does the speech make you want to do anything?
Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?
What would you like to tell the President?
The second one is for grades 7-12
• Brainstorm or Concept Web: What other historic moments do you remember when the President spoke to the nation? What was the impact? Students could create a Cause/Effect graphic organizer.
• Suppose President Obama were to give another speech about being educationally successful. Who could he speak to next? Who should be his next audience? Why? What would he say?
Video Project:
• Teachers could encourage students to participate in the Department of Education’s “I Am What I Learn” video contest. On September 8th the Department will invite K-12 students to submit a video no longer than 2 min...
