Obama’s speech available for preview
President Barack Obama’s planned words for an address to the country’s students Tuesday, Sept. 8 is available for parents to check out before their kids may view the speech at school.
You can find the speech here.
I read through it and I saw a couple points that some may find objectionable but even those couple things are really very tame - it appears to be party neutral, as the administration has been saying.
What do you think? Does this change your plans about allowing your child to participate in viewing the speech if the class plans to watch it?
I’ve heard from a couple parents who didn’t know about the speech until this weekend and weren’t sure about their child’s class plans regarding it or how to find out over the long weekend: If you want to opt out, you should probably send a note with your child if you are sure it will get to the teacher; if your child is younger, an e-mail would probably be better or taking it in when you drop off your child. Having it in writing is always a good idea and the schools may be getting a lot of calls Tuesday morning.
