IT IS NOT HIS JOB! click here for the text of the school speech

So the big debate rages. The left says “what a great president” the right says that he is Hitler all over again. I land squarely in the middle, like most of us do. I have a firm belief that if there is no one further left or right of you, then you can not possibly be correct. Now all that being said I will say that there are some overtones of socialistic education to a president talking to all of the students in America at one time. It does not mater what party he is affiliated with, or whether or not i agree with his views.

To the best of my knowledge, no other president has done that, I know that some have gone into select classrooms or schools and talked to a few students, and that I have no problem with. The problem with a speech to all children, be it a brainwashing session or not, is that it sets a standard. The biggest issue stems from the fact that if people get used to it, the media will not cover it and we are one step closer to the federal government stepping into our everyday educational lives. Once we have 2 or 3 speeches from say the President, The Speaker, and then the Secretary of Education, the fourth speech that is from a leftist, or rightist, individual will go unnoticed.

I am big on America. I may not agree with your belief that you can burn the flag in protest, but I definitely agree with your right to do so. If we let big government into our everyday education, the likelihood of the basic American rights being taken away grows exponentially. The government can start to introduce socialistic views at an early age, and when it comes time for those children to vote, which way do you think they will lean?

Now I am not blaming this only on the Government. Parents are as much at fault as the President. When those children come home from school after seeing this speech, parents need to talk to their children and impress upon them whatever views the parents have. The majority of children who saw the President’s speech today will not hear anything said about it at home, and that is the true crime in America, not a socialist leaning president.

Just a short note with my 2 cents today, school has started and time is very limited.

Until next time, hold your loved one close, and your children closer!!
