<>You’ll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free”

I’ve scanned it twice and see nothing wrong with it. Kids should be having this kind of stuff pounded into them on a daily basis by their teachers and parents.

Really?

Basically, after talking about his favorite subject, himself, he encourages kids to stay in school because chances are they're not going to be a rapper, pro athlete or reality star, otherwise I guess it'd be okay to drop out. And, since they have very little chance of being any of those things, he encourages them to be the next best thing, community organizers.

So you believe that we should "pound into them on a daily basis that the "need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free?

Is that what we want our children to do, "fight poverty and homelessness?" "Fight crime and discrimination?." "To make our nation more fair and more free?" I guess we want them all to grow up as community organizers and work for ACORN.

I was taught in school in the 1950s and 60s that America was the land of freedom and opportunity for all. How should we now make our country more fair and more free? Obama's big government that took over the car industry, banking, insurance, etc. and sets executive salary levels? Or Obamacare? Or cap and trade? This is all about the Marxist philosophy of economic justice and redistribution of wealth.

And this crap that Obama is working hard for you is just more of a cult of personality. Obama is not the government.
