This is outrageous! what do you think? ....?

Pres. Obama is scheduled to talk to the school kids throughout the nation during school time on Tuesday. he is going to talk about the importance of education and doing well in school. i think this is great for the kids. but there are a lot of parents that are refusing to let their kids go to school that day because they are afraid of what Obama will say to them. kids need to revere the office of the presidency, if not the man. this narrow mindedness makes me angry. grrrrrr.
what do you think?

American education is a disgrace. Obama is trying to build bridges, in this case he is reaching out to students. Of course they should watch it, they should be forced to watch it. Some of these kids probably don't know who the President is.

While I think the whole thing is silly, I absolutely disagree with the premise that our children should be taught to revere politicians.

Yeah I hate the right wing folks that hope that our current president would fail. That's really a stinky attitude to have don't you think?

I didin't like Bush Sr. or Jr, but I wasn't out there pointing out every failure he had or did. Or would've wanted him to fail. He's was our president at the time.

Some folks need to get a clue.

Ignorance is bliss I guess.

It doesn't matter who talks to them about the importance of education, the fact is that they are depriving the children of much needed information.

It's not what he's going to say. It's the colour of his skin.

Parents should always have the ultimate say. It doesn't matter if you or I agree with said parents' opinions of our president.

I think it's sad that the parents doing this, aren't thinking about the example they are setting for their children. Letting them think it is OK to disregard/ignore someone based on skin color. Foolish.

Parents are ridiculous. I don't agree with everything Obama is doing but I wouldn't refuse to let my child go to school if he was visiting...that's stupid.

Prayer and christmas are about RELIGION. Read the constitution folks - NO RELIGION in goverment - written in simple words in black and white. Don't like it - send your kid to a school where they will rot their brain with medieval propaganda.

As for the president - what does "The importance of education" have to do with anything banned in the constitution?

Perhaps folks should grow up and wake up and realize there is no more hiding place for ignorance and racisim. The last dark, nasty corners where those roaches hide have been well lit for a few decades now. We all know what you are when you start that jabber. We all see the hate and the poison you try to hide behind your talk of "rights".

You've got nowhere to run - no country that wants that garbage - not even the South Africans. Get with the program fools.
