A new high-tech Vast Right Wing Conspiracy. Racism. And parents too dumb to raise their children.
That was how NBC sought to explain away opposition to Pres. Obama's planned speech to schoolchildren.

Because the parrots are squaking what their masters are telling them and we know who owns the media, and who is watching. We need to know our enemies, and to get unified. I like the high-tech, not smart enough, oxymoron though. The good sign is conservatives are communicating on their own, and until the libs control the internet, we will continue.

***During the Speech
 As the president speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a noteâtaking graphic organizer such as a Âcluster web; or, students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children could draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could 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 could record important parts of the speech where the president is asking them to do something. Students might think about the following: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?***
They changed a couple things but it still looks like propaganda to me

I hope the world has had a belly full of Liberal scu&bags.
(hopefully to be reflected in 2010 election results that send them packing back to Cuba or whatever other Communist he&& hole from which they spawned.)

I wonder how many teachers will follow the first plan anyway? Im going to be curious about follow up reports of their behavior in their classrooms.
This is why I thought it was pointless to pull kids out of the class, or for schools to drop the speech plan the first day because if they're determined enough to go through with this, they'll just pull it out of their butts later.
So, I've instructed my kids to be my little "spies"--and they're loving the assignment.

Were smart enough not to watch their crappy channel Amen to that brother! I honestly cannot remember the last time I watched anything on their network. Don't know, don't care.

It IS propaganda and I don’t want my grandchildren being served Kool Aid! Fortunately, my local school has opted not to serve this Kool Aid.

John Harwood is CNBC Chief Washington Correspondent.
I expect that he was talking to the parents in the inner cities.
And the reason you should care is because he is one of the elites that has been putting his bias out for decades under the guise of “reporting.”
He lives in Silver Springs, MD, too dangerous to live in Washington, DC, and he MUGHT have had to explain why HE didn't send his children to the Washington DC public school system. But we know why, don't we.

Ah. So this is why the Left fund abortion clinics in conservative states.

No matter what “changes” they make, Beri Beri has his plan in place, and the lib teachers will play along!

Thanks, I was being sarcastic but actually I didn’t know who he was at first. Then I found out who he was: a liberal talking head that I couldn’t give a rip about! But your information was appreciated.

When my 10 year old kid’s teacher got word that the district won’t show Obama he said she started yelling about everything the kids were doing then worked herself into a frenzy that she ended up getting sick and had to be rushed to the hospital. She’s ok now.
My kid said he was turning in a paper and saw she was on the website page for the school district’s announcement right before she flipped out.
Just to make sure my kid had his facts mostly correct, I e-mailed the teacher and asked if she was ok and she responded that she had to go to the hospital because of a “previous injury”.

I am Metaphysically CERTAIN that the same was said of those who might have opposed Hitler's teachable moments in 30’s German Society.

I don't know anyone in my life or ever met anyone that thinks like these people. It amazes me to see this crap. Liberalism is truly a mental and moral disorder.

What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? The government serves the people, not the other way around.
Mark my words, the students who opt out of this will be taunted as stupid by their classmates who did not.
