Tarrant County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Maxwell defended the president’s attempt to underscore the need for American children to succeed in school.
"I have tremendous disappointment that any parent would not let their children listen to a pro-education message, a message about how important it is to stay in school and get that degree," Maxwell said...

I remember that Bush '43 started out intending to be an 'education' president with the inspiration from Laura, a public school librarian. Indeed, he was at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida when 9/11 happened.

I wonder what Tarrant County Democratic Party Chairman Steve Maxwell's reaction would have been if Bush had proposed the exact same thing? Need I say that I would doubt his support?

Fox news reported that both Bush and Reagan spoke to schoolkids... I am not remembering that.
