I’m willing to bet that Reagan’s speech was not mandatory in classrooms across the nation. This mandatory requirement over the objection of some parents shows that in Obama’s administration, the state trumps parents concerns.
Then maybe the parents should sue the school.
One superintendent in my town backed off under those threats.
She said the students could opt-out of the speech but parents were upset they had to put their political beliefs down on a piece of paper.
That may lead to lawsuits.
