"Best Viewed in a Family Setting"

[Danmel]

My son's school will NOT be showing the Presidents speech on Tuesday, as it is 'best viewed in a family setting" WTF?????

[rusty charly]

1. Like a discussion

of the birds and the bees? HUH?

[Danmel]

2. Yeah exactly

Like something violent or obscene. Since when is the President encouraging children to work hard and stay in school a message children need their parents with them to hear. Oh, yeah, since a black man is delivering it.

5. They think it is like something violent or obsecene....

this is something I posted last night...


Elk Grove Schools Offer Obama Speech Opt-Out
Will Frampton 5 hrs ago

ELK GROVE, CA - School district officials in Elk Grove have had so many calls of concern from parents in recent days about President Obama's speech to kids next Tuesday, they're giving families a chance to keep their children out of class while the President makes his address about education.

snip...
Elk Grove spokeswoman Elizabeth Graswich said the opt-out form being sent to parents is no different than other forms sent in the past, when potentially violent or controversial films have been offered as part of course study.

14. It boggles my mind that Public Education

run by our Gov is censoring our Pres.

Is that not like biting the hand that feeds them?

Although, the polls show a majority want their kids to hear the Address.

15. It's tough to take them out on the first day of school

The whole thing is ridiculous= Fear of Rush Limbaugh is running this country.

[Mz Pip]

4. What do they think he's going to say?

Seriously. How R rated do they think it will be? Do they really think he's going to light up a cigarette and talk to them in ebonics?

[MichiganVote]

16. Its what they have to see...a black man as POTUS

[Mz Pip]

17. I feel like I live in another world

Here I sit in the bluest part of a blue state. I can't relate to this nonsense. It hardly seems like we are even in the same solar system, much less the same planet.

[MichiganVote]

18. Well its all old hat to me. Grew up in the 60's/70's w/lots of overt racism. So sad....

[MichiganVote]

6. Call the school board members...one by one...over and over.

[undeterred]

8. Yeah, its kind of like telling the children where babies come from.

When they find out the president is a different color than they are, they're going to have a lot of questions.

[LuckyLib]

9. Go ahead and opt out, parents. Your kid will have seen in on YouTube within

minutes. Adults fighting over it? Gotta see it!

[Kadie]

10. YouTube is going to be real busy on Tuesday.

:hi:

[stray cat]

11. Kids should stay home and watch it with their family - except that most parents work

[RagAss]

19. View This, you racist pieces of shit !

[Tangerine LaBamba]

20. Unbelievable -

it feels like our country has gone through the looking glass.

The rest of the world is having a great big laugh at our expense - as well they should.

Ah, that old FEAR OF THE BIG BAD BLACK MAN still reigns supreme.

I am ashamed of my countrymen. Perhaps even more so than I was when Fuckface was squatting in the Oval Office.

Just hard to believe...............................
