Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I saw that and viewed it as a classic move by adults to make children feel like they are involved when they really aren't.
I don't want to be wrong about this stuff, just as much as you guys don't want me to be wrong about this stuff, but it just seems a little over blown to me.

I don't like it. I had a hard time telling the BS from actual facts in schools and it still haunts me to this day. I remember a hippy teacher told me that washing my clothes without detergent was better then hurting the environment. And he couldn't answer a question about why he became a teacher. I think the truth was to warp fragile little minds. What a dipshit now that I think back.

best move, IMHO, is for everyone to keep their kids home (away from school) and do something productive, just on principal alone.
we warned everyone of the cost of electing that POS. we were right, but we UNDER estimated how much of a mess he was (is) going to make (already).
mark my word, nothing good will come of his 'speech' to the kids.
we need to crush the lib...err..socialist movement in this country. leaving your kids in their control, especially on a day like that, is not going to help.
Show your kids you love them and our country and do the right thing.
Good ol' Stu. You really are a pretty good ague-er, lol.
Since, to me, no one has hit the nail on the head, I'll tell you why.
Because, as a parent, you try to keep your children from those that would do them harm. In any way, shape or form. You try to protect them from the "POS" in the world.
Barak Obama is all that and more. And less.
Would you, or anyone else, like a drug kingpin from the cartels talking to your kids? How about a muslim crazy who believes in this whole jihad shit? Or maybe a convicted baby raper.
Don't know about you or anybody else, but I don't and never will want these fuqs anywhere near my children.
It's all about who he is, what he represents, his viewpoints, agenda and that he is a lying, cheating, thieving arrogant bastard. I don't want my kids talking to someone like that. As a parent, I have tried all my life to keep the exposure of such to a minimum.
Unfortunately, young minds are very impressionable. And, as a race, we tend to try and believe what someone in authority tells us. If a doctor tells you you're sick and need this, that or the other, then you tend to believe it. etc. etc.
It's really quite simple. In my eyes, and an awful lot of others', BO is a BG. And I don't, nor will I ever, want my kids or anyone elses' kids anywhere near a BG. And the fact that he would use his authority to such end is absolutely appalling.
Sorry, but I love my children and want the best for them. And BO definately is not it.
My wife is a teacher and a conservative. We are in TN now. She hasn't heard anything about this.....yet. I pointed it out to her but nothing from her school. TN is a fairly conservative state. Not to mention, without saying it "old south" I don't think they will be watching it here! The local talk radio is the most non PC thing I have ever heard on the waves. Whites are outraged here! I wouldn't send my kid to school if he was school aged.
This makes a pretty good point.
They think we're crazy. "They" are the sneering defenders of Barack Obama who can't fathom the backlash against the president's nationwide speech to schoolchildren next Tuesday. "We" are parents with eyes wide open to the potential for politicized abuse in America's classrooms.
Ask moms and dads in Farmington, Utah, who discovered this week that their children sat through a Hollywood propaganda video promoting the cult of Obama. In the clip, a parade of entertainers vow to flush their toilets less, buy hybrid vehicles, end poverty and world hunger, and commit to "service" for "change." Actress Demi Moore leads the glitterati in a collective promise "to be a servant to our president." Musician Anthony Kiedis pledges "to be of service to Barack Obama."
The campaign commercial crescendos with the stars and starlets asking their audience: "What's your pledge?"
This same "Do Something" ethos infected the U.S. Department of Education teachers guides accompanying the announcement of Obama's speech — until late Wednesday, that is, when the White House removed some of the activist language exhorting students to come up with ways to "help the president." Education Secretary Arne Duncan had disseminated the material directly to principals across the country — circumventing elected school board members and superintendents now facing neighborhood revolts.
O's bureaucrats can whitewash offending language from the Sept. 8 speech-related documents, but they can't remove the taint of left-wing radicalism that informs Obama and his education mentors. A spokesman maintained that the speech is "about the value of education and the importance of staying in school as part of his effort to dramatically cut the dropout rate." But the historical subtext is far less innocent.
Obama served with Weather Underground terrorist and neighbor Bill Ayers on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge education initiative. Downplaying academic achievement in favor of left-wing radical activism in the public schools is rooted in Ayers' pedagogical philosophy. Obama served as the program's first chairman of the board, while Ayers steered its curricular policy. The two oversaw grants to welfare rights enterprise ACORN and to avowed communist Michael Klonsky — a close pal of Ayers and member of the militant Students for a Democratic Society.
SDS served as a precursor to the violent Weather Underground organization. As investigative journalist Stanley Kurtz reported, Klonsky and Ayers teamed up on the so-called "small schools movement" to steer schoolchildren away from core academics to left-wing politicking on issues of "inequity, war and violence."
A cadre of like-minded educators and national service administrators across the country share the same core commitment to transforming themselves from imparters of knowledge to transformers of society. The "change" agenda trains students to think only about what they should do for Obama — and rarely to contemplate how his powers and ambitions should be limited and restrained.
Ayers preached his education-as-"social justice" agenda to his "comrades" at the World Education Forum in Caracas, Venezuela, three years ago:
"This is my fourth visit to Venezuela, each time at the invitation of my comrade and friend Luis Bonilla, a brilliant educator and inspiring fighter for justice. Luis has taught me a great deal about the Bolivarian Revolution and about the profound educational reforms underway here in Venezuela under the leadership of President (Hugo) Chavez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution, and I've come to appreciate Luis as a major asset in both the Venezuelan and the international struggle — I look forward to seeing how he and all of you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane."
Ayers continued:
"I walked out of jail and into my first teaching position — and from that day until this I've thought of myself as a teacher, but I've also understood teaching as a project intimately connected with social justice. After all, the fundamental message of the teacher is this: You can change your life — whoever you are, wherever you've been, whatever you've done, another world is possible. As students and teachers begin to see themselves as linked to one another, as tied to history and capable of collective action, the fundamental message of teaching shifts slightly, and becomes broader, more generous: We must change ourselves as we come together to change the world. Teaching invites transformations, it urges revolutions small and large. La educacion es revolucion!"
This is why informed parents do not trust the Educator-in-Chief and his "comrades." You can take Obama from the radicals in Chicago. But you can't take the Chicago radicalism out of Obama.

Cough...your posts make the point of hypocrisy on the part of our elected officials. The fundamental objection remains regardless of the party affiliation of the perp.Originally Posted by Sturtle

My post makes the point of the hypocrisy of every single person who said, "No president has ever done this before! panicpanicpanic"
A Bush just did this same thing a few years ago, and not surprisingly, the other side complained.
