What have we become as a nation?

[grimmie 186]

I pick up my daughter at school today and she has a hand out from the principal. President Obama is giving a speech to all of the nation's school children tomorrow at 10:00am. If you don't want your child to watch the speech, they can be "excused".

I sure hope that Kenyan, Socialistic, Marxist, Communistic Muslim doesn't put subliminal messages in there and brain wash her into doing well in school.

It's tough to be in kindergarten these days.

They start 'em young, these days, don't they? What ever happened to kindergartners cutting-out colored paper and making chains or taking a little nap. I'm sure, all those little 'uns will understand the Pres' speech. Mold those little minds early!

So where's the problem? They told and allowed you to have her opt out; don;t see the cheese, just hear the whine. If I had a kid and some neo-fascist corporate pig Republican was going to be televised or appear, I would let my kid go if they wanted. See, libs want all perspectives experienced, that's a big diff between libs and neo-conservs.

Those are all PreSchool activities Kindergarten is now required to be able to count, to be able to add and subtract, know shapes, knows the difference between a who/what/where, knows of audience type (self/others), able to read basic words and able to add details to stories.

The speech (per an educator) is a "Welcome back to school" type speech. I don't foresee a lot of political overtones being tossed into it.

When I was in kindergarten we were drawing risque stick figures and making out with the girls at nap time...It may have been better to just watch Reagan give a speech.....Ya, I probably would've fallen asleep, but at least I wouldn't have been acting naughty.

Mold those little minds early!

Both the girl I made out with at nap time and the girl next door with whom I'd "play house" both became victims of teen pregnancy later on in life.

I always wondered where we got that stuff from when we were so young...Did the girls go through an experience at home with which they influenced me, or did I influence them? Was this sexual curiousity inherrent in me at such a young age or did HBO influence me that one day when I was watching my Saturday morning cartoons...I was flipping through the channels during a commercial when my mom was in the kitchen, and there it was, the most interesting thing I ever saw in my life up to that point...Mezmorized by a full nude strip tease at 10am.

If I'm not mistaking, I believe the FCC fixed that problem a little while later...or at least started to enforce the laws against it.

In any event the human mind is a very delicate and impressionable gift...especially a child's. It needs to be protected.

I guess, I was a 'late bloomer'! Girls scared the livin' daylights outa me till I was about 17 and that's when I'd talk with them.
Back then, every girl in the world had cooties!

Well, with the exception of my kindergarten experience I could've also been considered a late bloomer...around 17 like yourself.

...had a kid at 21...now girls scare the living daylights out of me. I now also think they all have cooties...and in this day and age, I'm probably right!

They should say the Pledge of Allegiance before Obama starts his speech. Then they can be excused.

I was watching our local news and they discussed the President's speech. It's basically, like you said. Welcome back to school and a pep-talk for kids to stay in school. Local teachers have already viewed it and say that it's good for kids to see.

See, libs want all perspectives experienced,

huge generalization that in my experience doesn't hold water. I've seen plenty of liberals who don't want to expose their children to alternative viewpoints. I've also seen plenty of conservatives who do.

Your experiences may differ. Certainly your opinions do. But that's why they're call opinions.

My satire was lost on lucky, and some of you others. I think it's ridiculous that the principal/school district has to notify the parents that the kids will be seeing a message about school from the POTUS.
And that a kid can be excused from watching, double ridiculous.
