DIYbanter - Oppose Obama School Speech

Any parent that denies their children the opportunities that others
receive are not serving their children's best interests.

Opportunity?? LOL!! I wouldn't call being able to watch Osama live, an
opportunity.
I also see that you waited until *after* the speech to post your comment.
So apparently, you also weren't so sure he'd follow the posted speech.
It's really easy to decide if someone was right or wrong, *after* the
fact.

My main objection was someone telling *me* what *my* child will
watch/listen to. I watched, and recorded Osama's speech. *I* will decide
whether or not my child watches it, not the school district, and certainly
not Osama.

It also may be an indication of a deeper problem...child abuse behind
closed doors at home.

It sounds like child protection services should be taking names and
making some visits.

Child abuse??? For not letting your child watch a speech???
You also don't know much about parenting.

i find this strange. i would think throughout the television era if a
president of the united states wanted to (were able to) pipe in a speech
directly to school kids most everyone would think it was at least "ok" if
not good, if not GREAT. i find it very hard to believe patriotic parents
during eisenhower or kennedy would publicly express a negative opinion about
an upcoming presidential speech. really. i'd think if nixon had announced
he was going to deliver a speech directly to america's school kids, if some
parents were to express the opinion that the DID NOT want their kids to see
it they'd be shunned and ostracized by the community as unpatriotic hippy
commie wackos. we really have become a polarized nation.
you have read that george bush delivered a speech to america's school kids
several years ago, right?
