I have given away about 8-10 copies of this book. Called the principal of the elem. school where some of my kids attend.
Asked her if she had ever read that book. Of course she hadn't.
Recommended that she do it.
She said the decision would be made on the district level and that if included permission slips would be sent out, yada, yada, yada.
0bama will not stop.
In order to post a comment, I would have to sign up for the ABC news blog. I will not increase their member base, which would increase their ad revenue. But it was an interesting story, thanks for the ping.
1st?
There’s no reason to sign up for their news blog and risk getting outed as someone fishy. Just pass the word along. Thanks!
I'm recommending a recall election. That should help him.
Gotta love living in a largely conservative county.
Someone on Fox & Friends this morning was saying that the real problem may not be what Obama says but what the teachers do with it—they can use that as a starting point for indoctrination.
