PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- President Barack Obama, in a message Tuesday to America's students, urged them to ignore bullies and treat each other with kindness and respect, saying part of the beauty of life "lies in its diversity."

Obama acknowledged that school is tough and that it can be made even tougher by the presence of classroom bullies who make fun of students and try to make those who are different from them feel bad.

“Diversity” is such a trojan horse. It’s right next door to ethical relativism and the philosophy of anything-goes, I’m OK, you’re OK, and who cares anyway? Whatever.

I thought this was to be a pep talk to get the kids to study harder and finish school, not yet another serving of PC blather.

The Racist in Chief’s “Be tolerant of each other”, loosely translates from Liberal to normal speak means “White people better put up with anything done by anyone else and be prepared to be attacked, vilified, and character assassinated if they have the nerve to say something about it.”

Whenever you hear the term “diversity” thrown around, just substitute “perversity” and you get the same effect.

Diversity has nothing to do with the beauty of life.

Where is Obama’s tolerance for Americans who don’t want to live in a communist country?

Will be a good day when we don't have to suffer this pedantic, mindless fool or his erudite wife. He is the worst that the human conditon can bilge forth. Arrogant, angry, hateful, Godless and prideful. I am getting ready for him to bust forth a sermon ala MacLaine that “We are all little Gods and we have to make heaven on earth, that through tolerance and subjugation to the greater good we can perfect our world”. Many folks buy that pap, the platitudes, the false wisdom. The older I get the more I can see what Jesus meant that Narrow is the Way. 3/4 of the world people are no better than Eve\Adam or Cain, same movie playing over and over, buying the serpents line.. about well we all know Genesis.

DIFFERENT?

You mean like half-white/half-black? Like someone who was schooled as a Muslim, yet grew up with atheist communist grandparents? Someone who wanted to take over a nation and issue them some 'payback' for being 'left out' as a child?

what the crap business is it of a potus to urge children to stop whacking each other about...? that is godgiven requirement to become an american; a right of passage that this snivelling little maggot ought not mess with. one would like to think there be more pressing issues.

this nitwit has run the economy to ground. and he has time to tell the children (that will starve via his policies) to be nice now...?

this guy is a maggot. perhaps he is preaching to the only audienses still willing to listen.

he intentionally degrades the office he holds.

” MacLaine that “We are all little Gods and we have to make heaven on earth, that through tolerance and subjugation to the greater good we can perfect our world”. “

Actresses are used ot subjugating themselves to get work and other perks. Typical belief reinforced time and time again.

Obama’s spirit of tolerance doesn’t extend toward conservatives or anyone perceived as a threat to the onward march of the Socialist International

Amazing, I have watched some of Big Brother this season.
The bullying and filthy language was rampant. CBS Show BTW.

One contestant was targeted and the abuse was unrelenting.
Maybe Zero should be calling his buddies over at CBS and tell them they should be better examples. IF some parents allow their kids to watch this garbage. What message are THEY sending to their children.

And does CBS feel ANY responsibility in airing such abuse as entertainment?

Disclaimer: I admit stupidity for watching it. I am just waiting for Survivor. OK
