The US Dept of Education recently announced that President Obama will deliver a speech to America's students next week. The department says Obama "will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning." Naturally, the chairman of the Florida republican (sic) party -- a troll named Jim Greer -- is "absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology." This genius believes the President intends to use schoolchildren "as tools to spread liberal propaganda." He even refers to the President of the United States of America as "Pied Piper Obama".
All because the President is going to speak to the nation's schoolchildren about personal responsibility and the Dept of Education issued an accompanying list of suggested resources & lesson plans.
To gain the approval of Florida republicans (sic) and other haters of President Obama, perhaps the speech should be altered to include a screed against illegal immigrants, a proposal to murder thousands of brown-skinned women & children in faraway places, and a promise to pray for the souls of Rush Limbaugh & Sean Hannity.
Nah ... right-wingers like this Florida windbag would still balk. They're terrified of their children gaining access to President Obama (even via television) without an accompanying voice of rage & paranoia to drown out whatever message the democratically elected President of the United States may communicate.
Kids know that whatever their parents don't want them to do, see or hear must be worth doing, seeing or hearing. All anyone who cares for the future of the USA can do is hope these kids gain a desire to learn more about what's got their parents so afraid.
