'ABC" stands for All Barack's Children. On Sept. 8, young students across the country will be watch ing TV. Yes, they'll be parked in front of boob tubes and computer screens watching President Obama's address on education.
Instead of reviewing multiplication tables or diagramming sentences, America's kids will be lectured about the importance of learning. Then the schoolchildren, from pre-K through 12th grade, will be exhorted to Do Something -- other than sit in their seats and receive academic instruction, that is.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan dispatched letters to principals nationwide, boasting, "This is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nation's schoolchildren about persisting and succeeding in school."
But the goal isn't merely morale boosting. White House event-related guides developed by the US Department of Education's Teaching Fellows say elementary students will be told to "listen to the speech" and "think about the following":
* 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?
* Students can record important parts of the speech where the president is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?
After the speech, teachers will ask students:
* 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?

WTFFF!!!!!????? Man, if it isnt one thing its ANOTHER with this crazy regime. These people are SERIOUS. Sheesh.
* What do you think the president wants us to do?
He wants those of us who believe in freedom to die.
* Does the speech make you want to do anything?
You mean besides throw up? Yes. It makes me want to protect America from socialism.
* Are we able to do what President Obama is asking of us?
I hope and pray that those who support evil are too weak to force real Americans to submit to the druggie in our White House.
Of course, there's an answer: Time to play hookey.
This is so lame. Zer0’s popularity is tanking and his manuever is to talk to the children. I guess he read a book on the art of commie persuasion.
Zer0 will draw greater attention to the Tea Party in
D.C. Sept. 12
Kiddies, be sure to report your parents when they tell lies about Obama.
I know this makes me want to vote for the next school levy. NOT
If my parents or teachers say anything fishy, I can report them to the president.

Thankfully, my kids don’t start school until Sept. 9th.
Yes, Vomit.
They can't all be Barack's children. What do their birth certificates say?
I believe that was said by Representative John Lewis (Democrat); but I can't find the source.
I’d love to see the feed disrupted, and I’m sure the kids would too, it would be free time. The best recourse though, is to let the kids skip school that day - National Ferris Bueller Day.
