President Obama is scheduled to address school students on September 8. The exact content of his speech is unknown. But it is likely to be benign, especially if it is subjected to significant public exposure. The recommended "lesson plans" coming from the Department of Education however, indicate that the opportunity is being taken at this time in order to boost the prospects of the White House's legislative agenda in general and popular support by school children of President Obama in particular. He is taking his campaign to the classroom.
There is nothing in the proposed curriculum that indicates any involvement of or participation by the parents in this indoctrination; only the President, the teachers and the children. We feel that this is a grossly inappropriate use of our tax dollars and our schools for political purposes, and an inexcusable affront to parental guidance.
The Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction has washed her hands of this matter, and is leaving it completely up to local school districts as to whether or not they participate in this address.
We urge everyone to telephone or email not only their local school superintendent and all school board members, but also all candidates for school board who are on the ballot for the November election. Local newspapers and the Board of Elections can tell you who is on the ballot for school board in each district.
1) Find out whether or not they support this inappropriate political intrusion into the classroom
2) If the school district decides to support this political intrusion, either ...
a. ask them to define the provision for parents to attend or
b. ask them to issue slips for parental signature approval before the children are permitted to attend
c. If the school district refuses either option above, keep the kids home on September 8.
This address may set the precedent for annual or even more frequent political indoctrination of our children by whoever may currently occupy the White House. This kind of thing has been done repeatedly by the Fidel Castro's, Saddam Hussein's, Mao Tse-Tung's, Joe Stalin's and Adolf Hitler's of the world, but never by a Franklin Roosevelt or a Ronald Reagan.
Please note that only part of Thursday September 3 and all of Friday September 4 is available to take this action; Monday September 7 is a holiday and the address is to be given September 8. The short notice of this address is attributable to the White House. Please take action immediately.
