Here is a draft letter to my school district's superintendent about the speech Our Dear Leader intends to deliver to ALL public school students on September 8th, 2009. Feel free to use as a template:
Dear Mr. XXXXXX,
I am the parent of a XXXXX grader and deeply concerned that the school will be broadcasting an address from the President of the United States during my child's class time on September 8th. I have no idea what the content of this address will be, and am unable to vet it as a parent. The politicization of my child's education is not something I welcome. My child is not old enough to vote, and he is not old enough to formulate political opinions without my guidance. Therefore I urgently request that parents be able to read and view the exact same speech before it is given to students. If this is not possible, then I must insist that my son's normal school day take place on September 8th, without interruption from the President of the United States.
In addition, I have read Department of Education materials suggesting student assignments after the presidential address. There is one suggestion that my child can discuss what he, my child, can do for the President. I find these suggestions very offensive and believe they run counter to the United States Constitution, which expressly limits the role of the federal executive branch. My child is getting an education for himself and his community, and is not required to do anything for the President. The President is not a king. I must insist that any teacher at the school refrain from suggesting that my child owes any sort of "help" to the President.
Please inform the parents what the school district will do to preserve the relatively non-politicized atmosphere that has, apparently until today, existed in XXXXXXXXX classrooms.
Good letter. I’ve been doing a little digging and I’m finding that many school districts and States require review and approval of all curriculum prior to presenting it in the classrooms. I think that is something that can/should be used to at least have the content of the speech released to the parents and school boards prior to presenting it to the children so it can be checked for appropriateness of content and if it meets State and local standards.
Good letter.
Egg-salen-tay! ;-)
I just got off the phone with the Superintendents office here where I live. They will be showing it but parents can make the choice if they want their child to opt out or not. She said letters will be going on tomorrow and permission slips. My kids will not be watching Obamas indoctrination of them!!
When it comes to school, there’s no place like home.
Boycott the government schools - permanently.
They are much better understood as the Bus Ministry of the State Church of Secular Humanism.
They are Govenrmnet-funded, Union-run, indoctrination centers for Political Correctness and the coming New Wave of 21st Century Fascism.
“Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”
Ephesians 5:11
A more effective letter would be the following:
Dear Principal,
I am removing my child **permanently** from your government K-12 indoctrination camp. I am urging all parents to do the same. I will dedicate myself to the complete abolition of government schooling in this state.
Communfascism is our nation’s most serious threat. Schools, such as yours, are the communfascists **most** powerful weapon against freedom.
Sincerely,
Parent Who Is Taking Charge.
Where my wife teaches, the basic comment I’ve heard from teachers is “we don’t have time for this c***”.
:->
Well done.
You managed to get your point across without calling anyone’s children socialists.
On September 8th, the children of my District will be at the indoctrination rally.
MY children, will be at the TeaParty Express in MI.
YES, and here is why you want to keep them home!!
Check this Sh!t out !! (Major! Barf Alert)

Given the mood of the citizens right now, I will look forward to seeing the numbers of how many stayed home that day. Let the libs send their students to learn how to be part of the Obama youth.. Mine will stay home.
After the Obamination session, your child will be **forced** by the government workers in this indoctrination camp to assemble with those ( of the government workers dictate) with those who have been contaminated with this communfascist bilge!
There is really only one solution: Remove your child permanently. Persuade your friends, neighbors, and relatives to do the same. And...Work for the complete shut down of every K-12 indoctrination camp ( misnamed “schools”) in the nation.
Totalitarian regimes now and in the past, have sought out children to spread their propaganda.
LEAVE OUR CHILDREN ALONE YOU POS MARXIST!!

The answer is to return to a capitalist schooling system and do away with socialized schooling.

Sept 8 should also be national repudiation of fascism day.
Opting out will cause problems, too. This forces the kids, or the parents, to declare political sides. There WILL be repercussions for opting out, especially in intercity public schools.
Please post this as a separate post. It deserves more attention.
