Good morning, or afternoon, as the case may be.
The local school district superintendent just doesn't understand what all the fuss is about - she admits having been inundated with complaints about today's political ploy involving the school kids. Then she says that once she posted the text of the speech on the district's website, she received another 500-or-so e-mails saying it wasn't so bad.
Once more, ma'am: the speech itself isn't the problem, although it's a bit inappropriate for children that young. The problem is the homework, handouts, outlines, and talking points which the teachers are - for some reason - supposed to go over with those kids.
I don't get where the President - or any other Federal official - can hijack an entire school day's curriculum, only to replace it with something of his own ... regardless of how innocuous it might be.
And does anyone else besides me remember that when Pres. George H.W. Bush spoke to the 'chilluns' back in 1991 or so, Congress launched an investigation? They held hearings, as I recall. It was deemed inappropriate at the time, or so the pols declared.
(sigh)
I'm very glad that my kids are too old for that nonsense - one graduated in 2008, and the other is in high school. They're home-schooled anyway, so it wouldn't have affected them. And yes, you're durned tootin' I've talked it over with them. It's inappropriate, and they know it.
Just sayin'.
Psalm 22:27-28: “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he ruleth among the nations.”

I find it totally within the lefts means and thinking to do this although it was not okay when Bush did it.
As long as they think it is right so be it!!
Both my boyz know that it is a political ploy and at the breakfast table this morning they both stated, we need more black evil guns in the gun case!! I was so proud!!
As one talking head put it, the speech that was posted on the net was a vanilla-ized version with heavy editing.
Had the tenant of the WH given the original speech, there certainly would have been hell to pay!
The superintendent of the Anchorage schools is long past her time to find other employment, IMHO.
Thank you for raising your children in a responsible manner, Rev. Paul!
