I dont understand what the big deal is with the President's speech to school children. I heard that my childhood school is not showing it which I think is just crazy. I know that is just because I live in a republican area. The school said they are taping it but I have heard from several sources that is a lie and the school will not tape it and not permit teachers to show it to their classes. A speech to children about the importance of education and hard work should not be political..and it should not be someone's own political views that diecide whether or not the child hears our president speak to them on such matters. What is the big deal? Why shouldn't children hear their president speak to them? What is wrong with a speech on education? ugh...http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/09/07/obama.school.speech.pdf . One of my parents' VERY conservative friends even said this - who gives the right to schools, school boards and teachers to override what the president thinks is best! He said he didn't see any agenda being pushed and didn't see anything wrong with talking to them about education. It is just so sad to me that our country is so polarized that conservatives won't even let their children hear a speech from the president. So Sad!
Ps. I just watched Oudin play and she is just really great!
