Obama will make a televised speech to students on Sept 8--vanity

an email sent to my principal

[Benjamin Harrison]

I am a school teacher---school shall remain nameless---I am a little put off that I am going to have to drag my students to be propagandized to about good citizenship by this man. I feel bad...I should welcome the chance for students to hear their president---but all he does is campaign and distort---I'm sure it is just another way to suck our kids in...I wanted to warn all of you in those states listed on the email

[BunnySlippers]

I wonder what he’s pushing.

[9YearLurker]

Makes ya think he’s planning on still being in office and running for re-re-election by the time the little tykes are eligible to vote! ;-)

Obama will make a televised speech to students on Sept 8

Oh joy. The world has a reason to carry on until then.

The Census. Kids are supposed to help their “bilingual parents” fill them out.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Thanks for the ‘heads up’. First the census, today, NOW THIS? I’m about to the point of where you need to check me with a fork to see if I’m ‘done’.

The President will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning

"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."

Now things like health insurance are an entitlement. Now things like teenaged abortion are a sacrament. Now things like legal matters are "social injustice".

[matginzac]

This is “Dear Leader” speaking to the young masses, giving them guidance and assurance that he, THE ONE, knows what’s best for them and will take care of them...ALL HAIL OBAMA!

Time to secede......

[pollywog]

hmmmmmmm I will be checking in with OUR school. IF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN....my grandson will and daughter WILL be OUT OF SCHOOL on that day!

The President will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning.

Lead by example, Mr. President - show them your college transcripts.

[a fool in paradise]

ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs

Right now I am competing against people in India who are willing to work for peanuts to do my college degreed job.

We compete in a global economy for these jobs because the corporations get billions of dollars of code built overseas and imported/smuggled through the internet avoiding import duty on the goods and services.

I’m afraid I’ll have to remind my kids to chill. If they get it started there might be a chorus of boo’s and catcalls and then we get to talk to Ms. Assistant Princiapl, a big-city transplant who doesn’t “get” the culture out here.

[Mamzelle]

Well, you can teach them some new vocabulary words, like “coercion” and “propaganda” “authoritarian” —

[a fool in paradise]

There will be a mandatory school assembly, comrade.

[onedoug]

How many lies in this thing?

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’ll bet you ANYTHING he’ll preach to the kids about ‘service’ and ‘sacrifice’.......and to do ‘City Year’.

[GeronL]

Since taking office, the President has repeatedly focused on education
We are still waiting for him to talk about something other than education for crying out lous. Actually I don't remember him ever doing anything on education.

This is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nation’s school children (on tape!) about persisting and succeeding in school. We encourage you to use this historic moment

ugh,.... brownshirt training video?

[a fool in paradise]

The President believes that education is a critical part of building a new foundation for the American economy.

Because actually turning a profit has no place in the American economy.

[humble and shy]

he’s recruiting his civilian army. His “Hitler” youth brigaide.

[Nashvegas]

I think my daughter will be sick that day and miss school
