I liked her in those Jack Link Beef Jerkey commercials.

The purpose of this thread is to secure a commitment from each local Principal to provide an opt-out so that no one is forced to endure Obama's subtle, presumptuous speech. Below, I will provide a sample of reasonable letters we want the Principal to sign. If refused, we know where they stand and will take the appropriate action against them. Here is an article of how they roll in Colorado. http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2009/09/douglas_county_school_allows_p.php It would be useful if the only comments on this thread are how to do this, report your results and contact information for the press to report and follow-up on.
Nope, not buying it...that “the alternative room” should be equal time....a Ronald Reagan inaugural speech for instance.
Go fishing with your kid that day.
It’ll starve the schools of funding.
DO NOT GO TO SCHOOL.
Do you really think a clip of Obama the boring speaking to school kids will advance Obamas cause with the kids parents? I don’t.
This is brilliant! “My kid’s school [Central Texas] have already announced they won’t televise the speech due to the ‘technical difficulties’ of a live telecast ... “
Suppose Dear Leader is wise enough go give only a "welcome back" "do your best" talk. Very benign.
Next talk, probably before summer, more parents will allow their children, and in fact there may be no outcry at all, and that is when he will be free to do a WHAMMY.
This is the time to ELIMINATE ALL this garbage. Just because YOUR CHILD is not a member of Obama's Youth, does not mean that YOU are free from being "reported". Suppose your child's friend is!
This Marxist propaganda ploy must be shut down now.
PASS Day - Parentally Approved Skip School Day - Sept. 8, 2009
I disagree. If this is not shut down now, Dear Leader will have monthly talks to the children.
My school district in North Texas is going to record it and put it on the district website so the parents can decide if they want to watch it with their children.
>> It’s amazing how quickly Americans rose up to this latest ploy by OBOZO - speaks highly that our American spirit is alive and well!!!
It’s a spinoff benefit of the BambiCare fiasco.
The body politic has been infected with marxism. It took the overwhelming threat of BambiCare to get our immune system working, but now that it is, we swarm to other battles quite quickly!
Sent emails to grade school teacher for one child, and school principal for our 2 middle-school kids.
Grade school teacher said they won’t be participating in any way.
Middle school principal said “the district has elected to participate in this unprecedented event.”
I have a call in to the district superintendent.
Adults with strong opinions and values are lost for the indoctrination and can only be forced to formally comply. Children can be made into perfect tool of repression.
It has happened in the USSR, it has happened in the Nazi Germany. Let's not allow for it to happen here.
He is no longer trusted and everything he says and says he will do is scrutinized down to the level of it's atomic structure. The fool has gone from top to flop in only 8 months and every single thing he attempts to pull his polls up will have the opposite result. This is because it will be just more politics and it's what everyone now sees when they are forced to look at him at all. Obama has gone from being held in awe in the beginning followed by doubt then on to confusion, fear and finally what we are seeing now, rage. He has fallen far and fast and has brought his Party and the water carrying media along with him.But this is not the time to lighten up. Instead we all should double down and press our advantage until we have done what they said before the election they wanted to do to us. You will remember a Dem official and I think it was Emmanuel although I am not sure, said it would not be enough to simply beat the Republicans but that they (paraphrased) "must be wiped out, destroyed".
One of the most ridiculous statements ever uttered by a Hollywood moron.
Obama’s children go to a really good private school. They don’t need his inspirational speeches like public school students do. Obama’s elitism is showing here. Public school students are the ones at risk of dropping out of school because public schools are for the lesser people. Just wait until we have government-controlled healthcare.
I doubt they’ll show this in individual classrooms at our daughter’s high school. I think their computer systems would crash, so they’ll show it in the auditorium. I’m guessing our daughter will skip it and that no one will say a word to her. She’s an outspoken critic of Obama in a school full of Obama supporters. She’s kept her mouth shut so far this year (two weeks) though she’s heard more than one previous Obama supporter express their angst with him. They think he’s a bleeping idiot. (I censored as daughter censored.) Daughter is wisely not saying ‘I told you so.’ We only have one impressionable child in public school, and I’ll keep her home if her teacher plans to show this propaganda. I don’t have a problem with message promoting education. I do, however, have a problem with interrupting class for the TOTUS to state the obvious. I see no inspiration in this. I think Obama just wants to avoid real work.
“Let’s not allow for it to happen here.”
Too late by over half a century! The public schools have been churning out little goodthinkers for at least that period of time.
How will one day of fishing “starve the schools of funding”?
