Because Obama is going to indoctrinate America’s schoolchildren with the socialist, Marx-hugging message that they should stay in school, work hard and take responsibility for their learning!
And I absolutely want people who are stupid enough to believe that to keep their kids out of school that day. For every Wingnut, Jr. who doesn’t have the “work hard and do well” message reinforced, and who’s taught that education is a Commie plot, my kids have that much more of an edge. Rock on, wingnuts!
All kids should be kept home because of those damned liberal “teachers,” who fill kids minds with evil things like that one system of using numbers to do them satanic calculations and that other thing, where they talk about lots of ologies and osophies. why, only in the dirt pit in my God given basement can my younglings be lernt of all that’s impotant! May Jesus Christ descend upon us and help me turn my last bag of pork rinds into enough manna from heaven to feed all the chillins that my sister and i married to raise. HAIL JESUS!
Doesn’t bother me one way or another. I’m not thrilled about Clinton or W getting a free podium. I can see others objecting to Obama. I’m not at all for “revering” political leaders of any stripe. Getting kids to be awed by those in power strikes me as an unhealthy thing, unless a balancing skepticism is encouraged.
