Obama's Speech viewed in schools

This is one crazy story. The article found at the previous link talks about how some parents, and the press, went nutso over this speech prior to even knowing what was in it, and how it was truly an over-reaction.

I must say, here again, that people need to find accurate information before they react to what is going on in our government (or any where else for that matter). I am certain you all remember the hub-ub that came the night before this speech was aired in our schools. Good grief, it was awful. All any one could report on - and in the end, this speech, this horribly anticipated "socialist indoctrination of children" was nothing more than a pep talk about being responsible for your own education and future.

What will our children remember about this "indoctrination"? Most likely nothing. It was nothing they haven't heard before. But some of America's children were just robbed of participating in history in the making. Why? Because their parents were ignorant of what was truly going to happen and they listened to the negative press instead of educating themselves to the truth.

The only child I have left in school was disappointed in speech. Such a big deal was made of it, she had it all built up to be something really crazy because it was causing such a stir. In the end, it was nothing that she hadn't already heard us (her parents) tell her.

Seriously folks, lets educate ourselves as well as our children. Let's participate actively in letting our congressmen know what we expect as American citizens.
