Tuesday morning at school, when your kids are in a pliant, receptive mood after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, the clever neuro-seducers of the White House will turn their classroom televisions into weapons of child destruction. Their tender brains will be warped against all you hold holy through a propaganda broadcast by The Obama himself! The fiend will turn your offspring against you with his litany of outrageous blasphemies, including:
“I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.”
A direct attack on all we hold sacred, undermining our freedoms! Socialism at its most malevolent!
Load the car! Get the kids! Bring the ammo! Head for the cabin!
Armageddon is upon us!

The speech released to totally innocuous. It is very similar to the one that Bush delivered to classrooms in 1991, which was investigated and turned into a witch hunt on Capital Hill by the Democrat Congressional committees…
What do you think the speech would have looked like without the public outcry? If it was half as creepy as the study guide they put out and now have withdrawn, and if it received half as much Congressional scrutiny as Bush’s speech, I expect that Obama would be impeached.

You scare the pants off of me! Why is telling our kids to stay in school, work hard, set goals and take responsiblilty for their education brainwashing? If that is the case, I’m guilty of it every day at home and in my classroom.

“I know that sometimes, you get the sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work — that your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.”
This comment is not only very accurate, but most truthful. Wow, what a horrible and blasphemous speech! How dare Obama make so many negative and dangerous comments like:
Pushing our kids to excellence
Parents should become accountable
Work hard will reap success
Ovecoming odds to yield an education
Stimulating our children to never give up
What truly scares me are the minds of so many parents and critics that are in dire need of a paper bag and the inability to think outside of it.
Let’s look at our youth in this country – rising teenage crimes, teenage pregnancy, low levels of high school graduates, illiteracy in schools, etc. We have the most educational resources in the world, yet with the most illiterate students. This is what critics should call blasphemous.
This speech is so long overdue! Obama, I may not be a supporter of all your policies, but with this speech, I take my hat off and salute!

Can you imagine the backlash had a similar hullabaloo arisen when Reagan or Bush Sr dared to address the nation’s schoolkids? Can anything other than plain and simple racism and demagoguery be at the root of all this fuss?

You’re kidding me, right? This country needs to start being able to care for itself on the individual level again. The individual no longer holds themself responsible for any of his or her actions; that’s why I’ve got such a huge mess to clean up. But I— we’ll never be able to accomplish that if our children don’t start learning about responsibility, accountability, and self-worth.

RLS – where have you been? You don’t remember the witch hunt that Congress started when Bush Sr actually DID address school children with a speech VERY VERY close to the same one Obama gave.
The hypocracy of it all – where is the media? where is Congress? No, this time around it had to be the outcry of We the People.
So – was it plain and simple racism and demagoguery at the root of the Congressional Investigation into Bush Sr, too?
You people are using racism for everything you disagree with and you are single handedly errasing the real meaning of the word. It is simply going to become a catch phrase with an empty meaning if you don’t stop throwing it around like a frisby!

This is why you must study hard, children. Sally Hill gets a D in History.
Witch hunt? No. Dick Gephardt complained. Why? President GHW Bush made his school TV broadcast on the eve of the 1992 presidential campaign, using a lavish commercial video, lighting, and production crew — at taxpayer expense.

Downright generous of you to give her a D in history; her spelling (frisbee) is not so strong either. But moving on to substance, as one who has gone out of his way to avoid using racism as a catch-all blame tag and rebuke those who do, close observation of the Town Hall obstructionists in action – as well as the Birthers, Tea-Baggers and similar such – reveals an all-pervasive general meanness of spirit in action – blatant xenophobia (“it’s all those illegal aliens’ fault!”), selfishness (“I got mine, Jack!; screw the rest of you”) and yes, simple, uncomplicated racism (“How dare that [insert your choice of expletive here] Obama lecture our kids!”. Not exactly my vision of a “kinder, gentler America”; more the spirit of Cheney, Palin and the Dover (PA) Township Creationists.

If this is brainwashing, I’ll hope (not “pray”, hope) that we can so declare “Mission Accomplished!”
Brainwashing techniques are highly effective and utterly essential. If only we had the will and the education budget for large-scale implementation.
