This is one of the reasons I chose not to put my precious children in the public school system. Not only did I want them trained with a Christian influence, I also did not want them indoctrinated in liberal nonsense by overwhelmingly liberal teachers.
The best example of a liberal public school teacher is Diogenes. I believe he is a history teacher. Try to imagine the liberal spin he throws into his lessons while young impressionable minds soak up his slanted teachings.
Now, I realize many Americans are not as blessed as I have been to avoid the public school system. Before anyone gets up in arms, I realize there are many awesome, dedicated teachers in our government schools, and I do not mean to take anything away from them. Nevertheless, the education American children receive comes primarily from a liberal point of view.
As we approach Labor Day weekend, perhaps this would be a good time to consider turning the 3-day weekend into a 4-day weekend, at least where school children are concerned. Our Marxist president will be addressing our children on Tuesday, September 8th. Better prepare your kids for the brainwashing.
Read from Atlas Shrugs:
Obama in the Classroom: Keep Your Kids Home from School September 8
"The fascist in chief is taking his special brand of brainwashing to the classroom. Keep your kids home. I think this man is a threat to our basic unalienable rights. I don't want him indoctrinating my children. Seriously.
Ask your school what their participation is in this leftist indoctrination outrage. Keep politics out of the classroom. Keep communists and their propagandists away from small children.
President Obama’s Address to Students Across America September 8, 2009
'PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities: President Obama’s Address to Students Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education
September 8, 2009
Before the Speech:
• Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions:
Who is the President of the United States?
What do you think it takes to be President?
To whom do you think the President is going to be speaking?
Why do you think he wants to speak to you?
What do you think he will say to you?
• Teachers can ask students to imagine being the President delivering a speech to all of the students in the United States. What would you tell students? What can students do to help in our schools? Teachers can chart ideas about what they would say.
• Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?
During the Speech:
• As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
What is the President trying to tell me?
What is the President asking me to do?
What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
• Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?"

Thanks for the endorsement, Ms. Moore. I'm glad your kids weren't subjected to the horros of a public education. But are you sure that the education they received at the hands of your Religious Rightwingnut brethren doesn't officialy qualify as "child abuse"? (Granted, not a severe as your parenting, but still...... impressionable minds and all.)
Would you have had the same objection if the President had been Bushie? Did you find it horrible that President Bush was reading some book to kids in school in Florida, just before he was captured for all time, on tape, with that stupid-ass expression on his face when he was told not once, but twice, about the events on the morning of September 11, 2001? WOuld you have minded President Bush telling your kids: "You teach a child to read, and he or her can pass a literacy test"? Or "Rarely is the question asked: is our children learning?" Or even "The illteracy level of our children are appalling"?
Get real.
BTW, what is so horrible about ANY of the ideas expressed in those proposed lesson plans? Students shouldn't have to set goals for themselves? Thinking about what they might say? Learning about our Presidents?
Grow up and drop the mindless rhetoric.
No, actually Republicans should not be indoctrinating our children either. Politics should stay out of the classroom.
I have no problem if Obama goes into a school and reads books to children. That's innocent enough. But, he is going way beyond that.
How in the world is asking students to take some ownership of the education, or setting goals for themselves, a "political statement"? That's absolutely nonsensical on your part... more than usual, I might add.
Here's EXACTLY what Obama is scheduled to speak on:
"THE PRESIDENT'S BACK-TO-SCHOOL MESSAGE TO AMERICA'S STUDENTS
Help get America’s students engaged! On Tuesday, September 8 — the first day of school for many students — the President will talk directly to students across the country on the importance of taking responsibility for their education, challenging them to set goals and do everything they can to succeed. We want to make sure that as many schools and classrooms nationwide can participate in this special opportunity, so we are making the President’s address and all the information that comes with it available as widely as possible. Whether you are a teacher, a school board member, or a member of the media, find information below to help you watch and be engaged with the President in welcoming our students back to school"

Now, knock yourself out. Point out ONE aspect of this that is "political" or inappropriate.
We don't want students who take responsibility for their education?
We don't want to challenge students to set goals for themselves?
We don't want students to do everything they can to succeed?
Which of these do you find so objectionable, Ms. Moore?
Try thinking and talking with your hrad, instead of your backside.
If they've taken out the nonsense about how students "can help the president," suggesting they should support his liberal crap, I'm not as upset about this.
I'm all for encouraging children to have a love of learning and teaching them to apply themselves. I have no problem with that, just as I liked when Obama spoke out for the necessity of fathers to step up to the plate and be real fathers to their children.
LMAO Yeah, good point. God forbid that kids think helping the President, the titular head of our country, is a good thing! Better we should teach them that the Prze is a Kenyan POTUS imposter!
Did we mention that he's.... black? YIKES! That'll just put weird ideas in the minds of all those little black kids, who might think THEY, too, could grow up to be President. I mean, we've always TOLD them that, but we don't want them really believing that it could happen, do we??
Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for President Obama...
"The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students"
Dick Gephardt, in response to Pres. George H.W. Bush giving a speech to students in 1991
