Of course there is no comparison. Obama considers himself the icon of a new age, and wants children to see that as well. It is scary indeed. However, what is more frightening is the legions of his minions who are on board with him. Will the majority of American people rebel? Who knows. I am still wondering who exactly voted for this guy?

It is IMPOSSIBLE to get socialist indoctrination out of the government schools! Government schools **are** socialist. They are a daily expression of taking money from your neighbor for a service someone else wants for free!

I am appalled, amazed, and EXASPERATED that so few conservatives grasp this basic idea. Government schools is a daily, minute by minute expression of socialism! Socialism can NOT be reformed! It must be eliminated.

Another thing those who believe in Conservatism need to understand is that most local governments are funded by a means that is wholly inconsistent with freedom and property rights.

The property tax is based on the false belief that one who owns property has a responsibility to pay a portion of the value of that property to the town for the "common good" when the truth of the matter is that the property is not truly owned by that individual but for the right to occupy the property an annual rent is paid to the town. This, even though the so called owner has purchased the property, insures and maintains the property and has liability issues if someone should be injured on that property. If this rent is not paid the property will be taken from that individual and be given to a tenant that will pay this rent.

There are no property rights where a property tax exists

AMEN!

Our county just opened a $70 MILLION dollar high school, and the final bill still isn’t completely tabulated and paid. Our property taxes were increased 100% last year.

We don’t “own” our property. We are literally **renters**! Our landlord is the government! And...Behind every property tax bill stand government schools with armies of government workers waiting to be paid, and armed police more than willing to force the money out of the citizen. ( Real bullets in those guns on the hip.)

This government school is the **most** expensive ever built in the history of our state.

The ex-Weatherman is now a radical educator with influence.

The next time Obama—the candidate who purports to be our next “education president”—discusses education on the campaign trail, it would be nice to hear what he thinks of his Hyde Park neighbor’s vision for turning the nation’s schools into left-wing indoctrination centers. http://www.city-journal.org/2008/eon0423ss.html

Right on Frankfurt, but it goes deeper. The Humanist Manifesto in the 1930s, John Dewey, the Darwinists, and 19th-century secular humanists and socialists. It has been a long history of attempting to use schools for statism and social engineering.

On Tuesday, around the nation, millions of children will be in a setting where they’re expected to accept what adults tell them, and where they are required to obey.

It's weird that they are pledging to obey a man who has 3.5 years left in office and isn't guaranteed a 2nd term (as none are), rather than allegiance to our nation or community.

Basically pitching to the chul-drun ideas they pitched to the adults, that the adults, even supporters, rejected. And counting on the children's obedience.

I am in NH and they plan to play Obama’s lecture to our children Live at 12:00. I am considering keeping my son (11) home from school that day although the school is taping the speech and let us know that it may be played “at a later date.” :(

Sometimes we need to teach children about certain dangers at an age younger than we hoped necessary. Whether it’s candy, charm, or propaganda, the threat will always exist.

Okay, how do you suggest we turn this situation into a “educational moment”? My son is aware of our feelings about Barack Hussein Obama...and FoxNews is the only news channel our family ever watches...but I am not above thinking that at 11 years of age my son is beyond the influence of this silver tongued devil and the majority of the school board, teachers, etc.,

I think that I would ask to be present in the classroom when and if the Obama speech is presented and ask the teacher if you can speak to the class after the speech. Tell the kids that it is ok, and even right to listen to the President, but to also question what he is saying. Children should be encouraged to respect authority figures, like the President, but they owe allegiance to the country, not to any politician. They need to be taught to respect themselves first, they owe it to themselves to become self responsible, good citizens. They don’t owe any politician, anything.

It’s weird and uncool.

Let him know it’s a prepared statement drafted by a team of experts designed to manipulate his thought process. Advise him to stay emotionally detached from ‘the message’ and observe the reactions of his school mates and instructors.

Anyone ever see Demi in this episode of Tales from the Crypt.

She marries an ugly guy (Jeffrey Tambor) because of a fortune teller’s prediction.

I probably saw it, since I used to watch that show, I just don’t remember it.

“Sometimes we need to teach children about certain dangers at an age younger than we hoped necessary.”

As wrong as it is that Hussein will do this, I think that kids who are raised in the right environment would be able to attend and be unfazed — see it for the BS it is. Bottom line, though, he needs to stay away from the kids!
