Just a couple of hours ago, I sent out an email regarding Obama's speech to our children next week on Tuesday, September 8. In order to address all of the responses I've received so far (and they were very thoughtful and inquisitive), I'll attempt to provide as much information as possible with what is currently available to us.
One question I received pertained to whether or not the Clinton administration was as bad as this one. The answer is no. Clinton at least had an understanding of the people. This president does not; hence so many czars to make policy on topics in which they have no schooling.
In addition to the speech is a set of instructions for teachers to follow to compliment the speech. Ask yourself - why would children, your children, be asked to describe how Obama has inspired them? What purpose does that serve if not to impress on our youth the pseudo-importance (aka, narcissism) of one person?
Here is a link I had found at hotair.com this afternoon regarding this issue. This blog posting is urging parents to keep their children home next Tuesday, but I want to expand on that based on what I've read today. In the interest of fairness, I admit I don't have children; however, I'm going to strongly encourage my sister-in-law to allow me to keep my godson for the day, because Obama does not say anything without a message being hidden in his words.
Here are some of the suggestions/actions others across this nation are taking on that day:
1. Keep you child/children home on that day;
2. Send your child/children to school but demand the school provide an alternative venue for him/them during the "speech"; excused children should not be subjected to ANY of the accompanying "lesson plan";
3. Attend school with your child/children for the speech;
4. If a parent attends his child's/children's school for the event, have a cell phone with vid capabilities/recording capabilities;
5. If a child/children goes to school on that day, let them know it's okay to challenge any message he doesn't agree with (children are smarter than the left believes);
There are those who believe that the "right-wing" is getting hysterical over nothing, but listen in his own words here, and Michelle Obama doing the same here.
As I'm typing this, the pressure has reached D.C. Here is a link regarding how the WH is removing some of the language from its learning material. Do you see how grassroots and the access to information can affect government?
One last reminder - here in the state of Texas, schools do no like when children are absent from school for the first few months of the year because absenteeism affects their annual budget. As I had said in my first email, get involved by calling teachers, principals, anyone at school to provide your input. I would bet dollars to donuts that administrations would not like the thought of losing funding if they don't accommodate parents/guardians who oppose this indoctrination.
Each of us wants to do what is in the best interests of our child/children. Each of us has to decide what to do that day. That the left is going after the minds of our children is a disgrace.
I pray that we have the strength to do what is right. And I hope that all of you do what you believe is right.
Thank you,
Eddie Gallegos
5. If a child/children goes to school on that day, let them know it's okay to challenge any message he doesn't agree with (children are smarter than the left believes)
Absolutely.
The following is a homeschooled student's comment to my post on the same topic ( http://alwaysonwatch2.blogspot.com/2009/09/those-classroom-walls.html ):
If some of the students who are forced to do this are educated enough, they can have some fun with the questions. Like, "What do you think it takes to be President?"
Let me see. A minority candidate, the racism argument, propaganda, and a truckload of money.
"What do you think he will say to you?"
Hmmmm. I usually can't construe meanings to much of what he says, but I can say this. It should be riddled with "Um"'s and "Uh"'s.
"What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?"
I heard Marxism, socialized medicine, nationalization of industries, saving the pathetic, helpless earth, and something about Change We Can Believe In.
"What would you like to tell the President?"
Hehehe. A lot of things.

According to what I heard this morning on NBC News, parents who are wary of Obama's national address to schoolchildren are unfit to parent.
Yep. There it is. The state wants your children!
