After all my posts the last couple days regarding this subject, I decided to let my kids watch it. Our district isn’t using the accompanying materials, and I’ve read through his speech. My elder child will probably laugh at him, and my younger will likely fall asleep.

Either way, there’s little damage the jerk can do to them that I can’t undo, particularly since they won’t use the questions etc.

It is about a 25 minute speech and the use of the word “I” is nothing but phenomenol in it.

Same here. I've been back and forth in emails and phone calls to the middle school principal and the district superintendent for almost a week.

On last Wed the super had left it up to the individual schools. The middle school principal said they'd watch and take part in Dept of Ed activities.

Emails, phone calls, emails, phone calls. On Friday the super sent out an automated phone message stating some schools may be watching the address, but no activities would take place. Parents could opt-out with a note.

Obama released the text of his (presumably rewritten) address, and I reviewed it. It's fine, and my kids will watch the address.

The issue was always trust. I wouldn't have let the kids watch if he hadn't plublished the address ahead of time.

You can bet the contents of the address would have been much different in the absence of public outrage. I'm sure he had to cut out much of his marxist intent.
