It's a definite line drawn in the sand as to who is in charge of one's children's upbringing.
Parents? Or Nanny state.
I used to be President of a PTO and I wouldn't have been part of showing a propaganda video for any President. Not the place but this one took the cake.

This excerpted part that got me:
Children at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington were shown a short video called “I pledge” on Aug. 28. The video opens with an image of President Barack Obama and part of a speech in which he says, “Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other.” The video then features celebrities making pledges about how they will help the president and the world — and that's where some say the problem lies.
Many pledges, such as supporting local food banks,
smiling more, and caring for the elderly are noncontroversial. But other pledges, such as “to never give anyone the finger when I'm driving again,” “to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid” and to advance stem cell research cross the line, some say.
