Bush?II?did this, Reagan did this, I can't remember if Clinton did, and yes, 
there was outcry in each case, primarily by the opposing party. I have no 
problem with listening to the President speak in school, particularly if it 
is "merely" a message about working hard, and doing your best. However, I do 
not trust this President to stick to merely that. If my kid's schools show 
this, I will be with them, watching right along. That means I may have to 
take some time off work. So be it. Fewer taxes I have to pay.

Subject: [Homestead] Talk about disrespect!






I can't believe the fuss about President Obama's speech to school children! 
People claim he's 'indoctrinating' children (we all know about the 'mind 
control 
vibes' broadcasts send out), and tell parents to take their children out of 
school that day because children "shouldn't be required" to listen to the 
president. What message does THAT send to children? To me, to refuse to even 
let 
your children listen is total disrespect to the office of the President (and 
disrespectful of the children; not letting them form their own opinions).

Reagan and Bush Sr. both spoke nation-wide to schools. Reagan's was 
apparently 
very political, laced with how he cut taxes, etc. Was there this kind of 
protest 
over his speech (I was out of school and didn't have kids yet, so I'm 
clueless)? 
What has this country come to?
