Another Brick in the Wall?
Right blasts Obama speech to students
Excerpt:
The Education Department is encouraging teachers to create lesson plans around the speech, using materials provided on the department website, that urge students to learn about Obama and other presidents.
"He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives as American citizens," Duncan said in a press release.
But already, some conservatives are crying foul. The chairman of the Florida Republican Party is condemning Obama's speech as an attempt to "indoctrinate America's children to his socialist agenda."
"The idea that school children across our nation will be forced to watch the President justify his plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies, increasing taxes on those who create jobs, and racking up more debt than any other President, is not only infuriating, but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power," Chairman Jim Greer said in a press release.
Comment: Skip school on the 8th! The N.E.A. and the Obama administration are wedded at the hip!
JP, I think you're right. But what disappoints me is that the people over at another nameless web site think it's ok to be concerned about policies coming from Obama...but only because he's a leftist Democrat. But if you try to talk about things on a deeper level such as how the Council On Foreign Relations is one of the true powers in the world, regardless of party affiliation, you get relegated to "conspiracy nut" status. It's ok to critique the left, but if you try to delve deeper into the true power behind the scenes, and if it doesn't conform to FOX News, then you're a nut. LOL, maybe you feel that way too. That's ok, I still love you!.........I'm just disappointed lately that WND which overall is a good site, is being treated as a nutcase site. Granted, they are out there at times, but overall, in my opinion, it's pretty legitmate.
ReplyDeleteEven better; if school boards and principals allow it to be showed, vote them out. The federal DoEd. has no authority in this area, so it can safely be ignored.
