Is our children learning?

“Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?” George W Bush, Florence, S.C., Jan. 11, 2000

And our country is up in arms when our current President wants to talk to school children about the importance of working hard, studying and staying in school?!

Incase your local school district decided our President's words were too controversial to be heard you can read Mr. Obama's remarks here - http://www.whitehouse.gov/MediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/

It's pretty subversive stuff - ask questions. Push yourself. Set goals. Don’t give up.

Yikes!

Thank goodness several parents had the sense to make certain their impressionable children didn't hear such offensive rhetoric.

Parents wouldn't want their children to have the opportunity to listen to a person who may share a different viewpoint than their own.

That, I'm terribly afraid (literally) would be un-American.
