'Silly Season'

Oh My! The President is going to 'Indoctrinate' my kids.



While I do not like to call my political foes 'Stupid'...What really scares me in all of this manufactured drama is the effects it could have on our children. I just saw an interview with a conservative tea party organizer (what tea parties has to do with this issue, I don't know) announce on TV that he and his neighbors/followers were telling their children to get up and walk out of the class in defiance once Obama begins to speak. WTF? What does this tell our kids? That petty partisan politics trumps a child's natural respect and admiration for a President...any President? Sounds almost like parents teaching their kids to hate to me. What do we tell the African American kids sitting in class next Tuesday who are filled with pride over the first black President as they quietly sit and watch as some of their classmates get up and 'Opt Out' of listening to the President of the United States?

Sadly next Tuesday, I imagine that thousands of youngsters will be kept home and many more parents will ask that their kids be excused from listening to the President's message - leaving a lot of young children across America scratching their heads in pure bewilderment.


God help us
