In a move suggestive of the Pyongyang public school system, the U.S. Department of Education recommended that before the speech students collectively brainstorm questions like, "Why does President Obama want to speak with us today? How will he inspire us?" Classrooms are to be festooned with "notable quotes excerpted (and posted in large print on board) from President Obama's speeches about education," presumably alongside benevolent-looking images of the dear leader.

Whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government...
[During the speech, students are to engage in a busy-work nightmare, writing down key concepts from the speech, trying to capture direct quotations, and afterward matching them up to key words]
So if the kid salivates at the right Key Word he gets promoted? YIKES!

Dear Mr. President Obama:
I am in the fifth grade at Jimmy Carter elementary school.
Mrs. Crissy Matthews, my teacher, told us that we could write down questions we would like to ask you after we listened to your speech to school kids on Sept. 8, 2009.
My mom and dad told me to ask you this question, something about your Hawaii birth certificate: WOW! You were born in Hawaii? Cool.
Here goes. Why won't you let Hawaii send us your long form birth certificate?
My mom and dad told me to tell you that you can see my long form birth certificate any time you want.
Mom and dad asked me to ask you why you won't let us see your college records, but I don't know what a college is, because I am only in the fifth grade. Mom and dad told me it is some place I am going to when I finish high school.
Mom and dad said that you can see my grade school records any time you want, so they don't understand why you won't let us see your college records.
Sincerely,
mirse
fifth grade, Jimmy Carter elementary school
I thought it was going to EVERY grade from Pre-K thru HS....yeah...if you’re kid is strong...let them teach the teacher/other students about FREEDOM!!!

September 8th — Official Skip Day!

"Beaming Obama into your kid's head: The president expands his cult into the classroom."
He enjoys talking down to all Americans as if they are school children in south Chicago. It's part of his routine.
DEAR TEACHER ,
I kept. my children home from school on Tuesday because they did not feel well and I did not want them to spread the illness . Thank you .
“When an opponent declares, “I will not come over to your side,” I calmly say, “Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp (Hitler Youth summer camps). In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”
- Adolph Hitler
