    While the GOP-controlled Dept. of Education in Texas pushes bible study and Rush Limbaugh into history books...

    Republican Party of Florida says Obama will "indoctrinate" school children with
    "socialist ideology"



    President Barack Obama plans to speak to the nation's schoolchildren on Sept. 8. According to the U.S. Department of Education, the speech will be about "the importance of persisting and succeeding in school," and the department is offering classroom materials to "engage students and stimulate discussion on the importance of education in their lives."

    You might think that would be a harmless topic, and that people across the political spectrum could agree on the importance of education.

    Not so for the Republican Party of Florida, though, which released a statement "condemning President Obama's use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda."

    "As the father of four children, I am absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology," said Jim Greer, party chairman, in a news release.


    "The idea that school children across our nation will be forced to watch the President justify his plans for government-run health care, banks, and automobile companies, increasing taxes on those who create jobs, and racking up more debt than any other President, is not only infuriating, but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power," he added.

    Apparently the children will be asked to think of ways they can be of service to Obama. That's kind of creepy, don't you think?

    I don't know of any time my children were forced to watch any message a president was commuting. It has always been up to a parent to allow/force to watch/hear any political message.

    It's time for a revolution. It's time for people to choose sides...fight (physically) for those beliefs.

    My child will be absent from school that day.

    oh, no.eesss........

    "President George H.W. Bush addressed the nation's students in a televised speech during school hours in 1991. ''I can't understand for the life of me what's so great about being stupid,'' Bush said, according to news reports from the time. He told students to ''block out the kids who think it's not cool to be smart'' and ''work harder, learn more.''

    Obama is just enjoying of the perks and advantages that comes with being the president. He gets to go talk to kids and tell them how cool and hip he is. Nothing wrong with that. I'm sure if you were president, you would do the same. Obama wants to show his awesomeness and greatness to kids at school. I wonder if Obama will wear his mom jeans and a Jonas Brothers t shirt to the meet and greet?

    The nerve of President Bush to do that in 1991. I bet slick Willy was pissed.

    Ummm, yes...Bush WAS Hitler remember. It's pretty amusing to see democrats losing their cool because republicans are using the same tactics they perfected against them. You would think they wouldn't be so unprepared on how to respond.

    Bush wasn't Hitler. He was worse than Hitler. Get your facts right. Keeping America safe from terrorist attacks after 9/11 for 7 years is way worse than killing 6 million jews during The Holocaust.

    "Keeping America safe from terrorist attacks after 9/11..."

    typical. Start counting dubya and head's "safe" success AFTER they allowed the worst attack ever on USA soil, (AND blamed it Slick Willie).

    File this one under Obama Derangment Syndrome.

    I feel bad for SpurNation's child, considering his/her parent is a complete moron. I've been hearing on the radio that a lot of parents are going to keep their children home that day .

    One guy on Prager said something along the lines of "I don't want the government brainwashing my kid. I'm gonna keep him at home that day and let him watch Fox News all day".

    I honest to God laughed out loud.

    Obama beaming his face out to the schools is a little bit "dear leader"-ish, but there are worse things about his presidency that his over-inflated ego.
