Unwillingness to Have Obama in Classroom Symptom of Why Schoolchildren 'Are So Dumb Today,'..
Newsbusters ^ | 9/3/09 | Jeff Poor

Once again, one of the masters of the universe trotted out on MSNBC has discovered the cure to one of society's ills - more Obama.

Daily Voice editor and CNBC contributor Keith Boykin waved off the reservations of some parents about President Barack Obama addressing their children in the classroom. Boykin appeared on MSNBC on Sept. 3 in a segment about the classroom controversy and added his insightful commentary on the matter.

"So much of the debate about President Obama has been politicized in an effort by some to delegitimize his presidency," Boykin said. "This is clearly much ado about nothing. We're talking about the President of the United States speaking to school kids. Why wouldn't schools want this to happen? That's why our kids are so dumb today, because they don't want to have basic common sense in the classroom."

Oh boy. We lost basic common sense a long time ago. When the state want to give our children condoms, tells us it’s ok for katy to have two dads or moms, and goes further to tell us that we have no right to know if and when they take our little girls to get an abortion.

It’s unusual to hear a leftwinger concerned about basic common sense.

It’s even more unusual to hear Obama and basic common sense mentioned in the same sentence.

As the brilliant conservative commentator says, “He can’t get anyone else to believe him, so he’s gonna give a speech to kids - who actually WERE born yesterday.”

It is precisely because our kids have common sense that parents don't want him twisting their minds.

Obama is a LIAR.

Obama is HEARTLESS - especially when it comes to CHILDREN.

Why, even INFANTS that survive a botched abortion are sentenced to death by Obama. The Infant Born Alive Act was fiercely fought by Obama. He insisted that infants born alive from a botched abortion should be denied medical care. He bragged about his own daughters not to be “punished by a baby” if there became pregnant.

Barack Obama’s Denial Of Medical Assistance To Born Alive Infants / Alan Keyes On Infanticide Video / Born Alive Infants Protection Act / Christ Would Not Vote For Barack Obama

Who could forget his thugish voice about “punishing his daughters with a baby”?

Obama - I don't want my daughters “punished with a baby”

Why would any rational child or parent want to be exposed to THIS EVIL cretin?

The schools do want this to happen. It is the parents that don’t.

I was just reading the US dept of education site.
http://www.ed.gov/admins/lead/academic/bts.html

I’m just not believing this

“To further encourage student engagement, the U.S. Department of Education is launching the “I Am What I Learn” video contest...We invite all students age 13 and older to create and upload their videos to YouTube...The panel will choose three winners, each of whom will receive a $1,000 cash prize.”

Obama is putting a carrot in front of their faces to move their thinking in line with his liberal ideology.

There is nothing Obama can teach our kids. He’s an idiot-savante. A master of nothing.

The purpose of this speech at first, as can be easily gleaned from the lesson plan submitted to follow along after the speech was given was to politicize our children.

Now that light has been shone on these cockroaches, they are scattering saying that the lesson plan has been dropped and Obama only ever wanted to tell students to stay in school and to stay away from drugs, etc.

Conservatives and moderates have decided that they don’t trust Obama even with this small task after he totally blew his trust on the economy, healthcare and cap and trade to name a few.

This hasn’t stopped the far-left chattering class from the usual accusations that we are a bunch of uneducated Paranoid Racist Nazi rubes, etc...

The pattern is predictable. They push on a front, we push back, then they demonize us for that. What’s different this time, though is that the sheeple are finally catching on to this nonsense.

Is he telling us that the public schools are a failure?

Perhaps idiot-savant was an incorrect term to use. The correct term escapes me at the moment.

When either President Bush said they wanted to talk to the children about drugs, no one expected them to go off topic and suddenly talk for fifteen minutes about tax cuts. Obama lacks that credibility. If people expected him to give a fifteen minute talk about how great an education is and be sure to stay in school, most wouldn't complain. The problem is that they expect him to turn to either an ideological rant or a push for his leftist policies like the health care takeover.

Unfortunately we'll probably look like whack jobs because Obama and gang will restrain themselves after all the heat they've taken. He's even had to retract the "how would you help Obama" assignment and will prerelease his speech for public review. On Wednesday they'll pat themselves on the back for being so even handed while all drafts of the originally planned speech will go into the shredder.
