I subscribe to what Iggy said about it. Holding kids back from school so
they won't be exposed to a speech by the President is an obvious statement
that presidents are up to no good and aren't to be trusted, to begin with. I
don't think that's a good place to start with a kid's civil education.

And the kid will wonder why his friends saw it but he didn't. That isn't
going to be a plus for his view of his parents.

Finally, Iggy's point that it's something that can best be dealt with by
discussing it with the kids is exactly the approach I've always thought was
best, and which I adhered to while raising my son.

Gephardt Called Bush's Speech to Students 'Paid Political Advertising'

As Barack Obama prepares a nationwide broadcast to America's students
next Tuesday, it has been revealed that Democrats complained in 1991
when then President George H. W. Bush broadcast a speech from a
Northwest Washington junior high school.

In fact, the House Majority leader at the time, Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.),
said "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political
advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce
smarter students."
