Listen Up, Class

"Next week, on Tuesday, Sept. 8, President Obama will be broadcasting an address directly to students in the nation’s public schools. The text of Obama’s school speech has not been made available to parents at this point, although lists of classroom activities for elementary school students and older students are available at the Department of Education website. "President Obama does not plan to broadcast on major network channels, but the speech can be viewed live online at the Whitehouse website. Broadcast begins at 12:00 noon Eastern time." This will be interesting. The county didn't want to lower the flag for Kennedy, will the local school districts allow our President to talk to our kids? Anyone heard anything? Edit: Good grief. Republicans are already going crazy: [The] Republican Party of Florida . . . released a statement "condemning President Obama's use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda."

"As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology," said Jim Greer, party chairman, in a news release.
