Whoa! WTF does that mean, NOT mandatory!? Why or how could anyone think this could remotely be a "mandatory" thing in the first place?
These people are so arrogant it's beyond belief! I encouraged my daughter who is a senior, and son who is a junior to walk out of class if they show this! If one teacher say one damn word about them doing this if they choose, there is going to be a storm in this little town of biblical proportions!
Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Guess my son is getting an extra day of vacation.
I read somewhere that Obama’s speech to children will be given the 8th of September, but it will be aired again on Sept. 9, but I don’t know if that is a fact.
The republicans always give a rebuttal after every Obama speech. Who’s speaking to our kids after this one? Sarah?
What? No one? What’s up with that?
;-)
National break the Teacher Unions Day. Why do we even need Unions anymore? The Government already mandates more BS than is needed to protect employee’s from unfair labor practices. Hell it is like a big giant Union everywhere. What are they good for?
Good for you. There is an immense opportunity here to teach children about the real meaning of liberty, the words "the republic for which it stands", and good old drawing a line in the sand.
There is a good chance that those that walk out, or are held back by parents will be questioned in a "respectful" way in front of classes by liberal educators. Please prepare your kids for this. Something along the lines of "I understand that the President wanted us to make a pledge to him when he is the one who should be making pledges to us, the people for whom he works" should serve well.
Well, duh! Why else would he be speaking to them?
Coming from someone too irresponsible to pay their traffic fines from 30 years ago unill he was on his way to the White House...here's to you Hussien!
If there was ever a “keep you child home” day, this would be it!
As to the teachers unions - can’t think of anything worse for the education of our children than the control by and the politicizing of these supposedly teachers of the young.
Home schooling and private schools are the only way out - and the government keeps up their efforts to destroy those options.
Obama is also going to be on every Viacom Channel from 8-8:30 pm on 9/8 doing a show titled “Get Schooled” — I just saw the ad for this on Nickelodeon this morning.
Those you might walk out should have a copy of the version where they were going to have to write a letter about how they would help Obama ..or at least that is what the Dept. of Ed. suggested.
Are you sure it’s not titled “Get Screwed”?
It might very well be! Hahahaha!
Bump!
