In an acknowledgment that the Department of Education provided lesson plans written somewhat inartfully, surrounding the President Obama’s speech to students next Tuesday, the White House today announced that it had rewritten one of the sections in question.
President Obama will talk to students from Pre K thru 12th grade about personal responsibility and the importance of staying in school, White House aides said.
As one of the preparatory materials for teachers provided by the Department of Education, students had been asked to, "Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. “
Today, after Republicans accused the White House of trying to indoctrinate school children with liberal propaganda the White House and the Department of Education changed the section to now read, "Write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short‐term and long‐term education goals.”

I think this will take his poll numbers further down the toilet. Looking forward to the reports on how many kids skipped out.
Foiled again by those dumb@$$ Republicans.....;)
What happens if a teacher decides not to participate?
Still not sure what our school is doing.
I get three personal days and have 170 sick days coming to me.
Next up: very major building in every American city will have to have a huge painting or banner exhibiting a photo of Dear Leader.
It’s not too far fetched, especially if you consider the streets of Chicago after the election.
Probably an acceptable response would be "I will e-mail the White House and tell them what Daddy is saying about President Obama."
Just because they took down that fishy@whitehouse.gov link doesn't mean they won't create another one which won't get as much attention.
I am interested to see how many parents don’t send their kids to school on the 8th which is a starting day for a lot of districts......my grandson actually started school on Aug 20th.
Every time this administration get ‘outed’ they change their story. There is not an ounce of common decency in the lot of them.
you are so right they were called Hitler youth!
Still not sure what our school is doing.
Stand up for your rights.Obama sounds like Hitler,Stalin,Castro orChavez.Perhaps you could have a lesson on how these dictators achieved power.Good luck.I wish I were back in the classroom.
Help the President find his real birth certificate.
Well thank goodness they rewrote the questions that were so inocuous, now they’re just going to ask a 4k and k student to write their long term and short term goals for education. That’s just dandy. :?/
“Today Ill play with playdough, but in the future I’ll go to Harvard to learn how to be a government employee.”
Maybe I’ll be a community organizer.... doesn’t this glue taste good? :) This is little Suzy’s response.
Best post so far!
Either they were so arrogant that they thought nobody would notice, or they are so arrogant that they thought nobody could possibly object to partisan indoctrination and promotion of a Maoist cult of personality. Either way, they are just arrogant.
