I guess the question is- do I feel like driving all the way into town on that day because my kid's in the principals' office?
Here's her shirt, came up with it all on her own!

There's quite a buzz going around about Tuesday, September 8th.
That's the day President Obama will address PreK-12 students via televisions and screens in public school classrooms, auditoriums, and 'cafetoriums' across the nation. This is a feat never before attempted by a sitting president.
Reactions are mixed, no doubt in part because our nation is politically polarized. While some parents think it is a good idea for the president to reach out to school kids, others disagree. Why? Many prefer to be the gate-keeper of social and spiritual influences and want politics and religion kept out of schools.
Some parents view the president's move as over-reaching and suspect that propaganda will be forced on a young, impressionable, captive audience. Many of these concerned parents are rallying to keep their children home on September 8th. There are movements at work to boycott public schools on that Tuesday.

Home schooling is a MUST! Stay away from these Facistas.
I’m keeping my kids home. They know how I feel about this and they want no part of it!
It would be funny if there were a hundred kids outside the school picketing the event.
Make sure you call in “SICK AND TIRED”.
This commie bast*rd has no right addressing our kids without parents present! I think everyone should keep their kids home and spare them the propoganda event.

Suppose President Obama were to give another speech about being educationally successful. Who could he speak to next? Who should be his next audience? Why? What would he say?
So, are our kids supposed to strategize for this loser?
One of my children is privately educated, but the other (early teenager and my equal in matters conservative) is completely unafraid to stand up for his beliefs wherever he is. All I know is that I'm getting angrier by the minute.
I just read it will be re cast on the 9th as well, KEEP THEM HOME FOR 2 DAYS!!
So Obi Wan Nairobi got tired talking with the adults. He wants to try and pressure the children to pressure the parents.
This is a page out of the play book of Banana Republic dictator like Haiti's Aristide.
Obi Wan Nairobi and the First Wookie....I love it.
What bothers me the most about this is the cult of personality aspect. I read the script yesterday. He isn’t asking kids what they can do for their country, he is asking them “what they can do for their President.” This is nothing to do with education, or patriotism, and everything to do with creating an Obama cult of personality to engender loyalty, not to America, but to Dear Leader. In other words, this is targeting kids with pro-Obama propaganda, nothing else. If I had school-age kids, I’d keep them home.
The speech is at noon, eastern.
I’m going to find a way to get them out of school for an hour
‘I’m getting angrier by the minute’
Me too. What began as a dislike has turned into loathing.
Tell the school that they are out getting their swine flu shots.
keep them home. send a message to the school.
Where can I get one of those?
I can't remember.
Oh I will, lol!
There ought to be a massive IN SCHOOL prayer session for students who wish NOT to attend the president’s little indoctrination session- let’s see how that goes over
