    First of all, he's not the sitting president any more. He's not pushing an agenda like president Obama is.
    Bull . You don't think Jimmy Carter doesn't have an agenda either do you?

    Except that George W. Bush has pretty much kept a low profile since leaving office. He hasn't been on the news networks giving his opinion about Obama; , he wasn't even on the news today. He prepared a statement that was read on the news outlets, but other than that, he's spending a quiet day in his office.

    He has no agenda, and he's just a part of a large group of notable Texans that will speak to the kids.

    It's you Obamabots who can't see the difference.

    The Arlington Independent School District in Texas decided not to show President Obama’s address to students live yesterday because it reportedly didn’t want to interrupt its regularly scheduled lesson plans. However, the district has now decided to bus its students off-campus on Sept. 21 to hear President Bush speak:

    District officials said it’s part of a Cowboys Stadium field trip that the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee invited 28 fifth-grade classes to attend several months ago.

    In addition to hearing from Bush and former first lady Laura Bush, the students will hear from legendary Dallas Cowboys players and North Texas business and community leaders. The event launches the Super Bowl committee’s largest-ever youth education program.

    Dwight McKissic, the pastor at the Cornerstone Baptist Church, which offered an alternative venue for Arlington families wishing to listen to the President yesterday, criticized the school district’s “blatant double standard.” “Why is it appropriate for students to hear from former President Bush on Sept. 21 at the Cowboy[s] Stadium, but inappropriate for the current president to address students while they remain on school campuses?” McKissic asked.
    Dumbass. The school has to get permission from the parents to go on these field trips. Go stick your head back in the sand.

    What educational value does going to the stadium provide that makes it worth interrupting regularly scheduled lesson plans?

    maybe they'll talk about intelligent design, and celebrate earth's 5000th birthday?

    "They didn't want to disrupt their plans."

    If you guys actually believe that's why they didn't show the Obama speech, you're being conveniently naive.

    AISD didn't show the Obama speech because they wanted to avoid the controversy. They didn't want a bunch of whack-job psychotics calling them demanding the school keep their precious children from being brainwashed by the Antichrist.

    But seeing as they had a previously scheduled event involving President Bush, they should have anticipated this new controversy and just shown the stupid Stay in School speech and let the Jack Sommersets of the world deal with it however they saw fit.

    Watch, now a bunch of the kids aren't going to get to go to the stadium because their parents are going to hold them out as a form of equally partisan (and equally ridiculous) protest. The whack-jobs on the left MUST have justice! ing stupid.

    I feel sorry for kids today.

    People are trying to stir up trouble and controversy where there isn't any. This field trip was planned MONTHS ago, and parents have to sign permission slips for their children to participate. This isn't a speech by a sitting President, it's a chance for these kids to meet and hear from MANY notable Texans, including Cowboys players. Don't you think the kids would much rather go to the new stadium and actually meet these famous people, than sit in class and listen to ANOTHER boring speech by Obama.

    There is no double standard and people need to just shut up and leave things alone. Obama was supposed to be the one to unite America - instead he's the most polarizing President ever.

    For people wondering why public education in TX is terrible, look no further. Thanks for sharing.

    That's a pet peave of mine. He's not Texan. He might be adopted... but he's not Texan.

    The only person off the top of my head who is Texan without being born here is David Robinson.

    Of course there is a double standard.

    Obama can't tell my kids to stay in school, but Bush and some football players can!

    Yeah - don't you just hate those "carpetbaggers"... like Hillary Clinton, who moved to New York specifically to get elected Senator.

    However, George W came to Texas when he was 2 years old, so he's been a "Texan" for a long, long time.

    That's true, it was planned months before the new Idiocratic precedent of parents getting their panties in a bunch about the POTUSA addressing children on the value of education.

    But this is the new America, where we keep our kids out of school for political reasons, so they're not unfairly exposed to politics.

    Surely the thread consensus would have been the same had a district bussed kids to see a Clinton talk after bailing on the official Bush one. You frauds are all the same. Kill yourselves already.

    Obama wanting to teach our kids for a hour until America caught wind of it = no permision from parents

    Checking out Cowboy stadium = field trip permission slips signed by parents
