A bunch of the libs have been comparing a speech that George HW Bush made in Oct. 1991 to schoolchildren. In it he did ask that schoolchildren write to him and tell him how they could help “us”.
As usual the libs are drawing a faulty comparison. GHW Bush did not issue any government approved lesson plans giving assignments that excerpts from his other speeches and books by/about him be read and that children be graded on how they listened and reacted to his speech by making short term goals and having teachers check up on them later in the year to make sure they were achieving them for the President.
GHW Bush did not say anything political in his speech. We haven’t seen Obama’s speech, but there is no way you can convince me that if there hadn’t been this outcry that he wouldn’t have used the chance to indoctrinate the kids on the global warming scare, the virtues of green living and universal healthcare.
Like I said, GWB was reading books to small children, not broadcasting propoganda to every school, at lunchtime no less.
