Is the President attempting to indoctrinate children?

[pomtzu]

So my grandson (7th grade and low end in my opinion of the comprehend scale), just got home from school, and the first thing he asked, was if I saw the President's talk. Told him I did, and asked him if his teachers had any discussion with the students about it. "No"! Boy, wasn't that a surprise!
So I asked him what he got out of it. "Nothing". Then after thinking for a minute, said how he had to be responsible for himself, ask for help if needed, and a few other like answers. Duh - this is what we've been telling him all along. Maybe coming from Mr President it will have more meaning??? Afterall, what do parents and grandparents know?? Today is the first day of a long school year, so we shall see.

After further review?

Maybe it is a good thing that the kids listen to the prez as opposed to taking
direction from their parents.

God knows the stupid ideas that the folks would try to put into the kid's heads.

"You are so Special!" read SPOILED.

"You have a voice" read Shut UP Before the ticked off chopped slaps you!

"You can be anything you want!" read a malicious little turd that can grow up to be president.


GOD I wish I had kids.

I misspelled 'shopper'.

Parents really have abdicated their seat as "the voice" of the home.

We began with the line "do not talk to strangers" and ended with, "Listen to the prez-He'll give you the proper guidance for your future".

Media bias? You bet.

The local news outlets did a little post-game wrap up with the kids at schools in the area.

Guess who was missing from the interviews.?

I don't feel the need to correct people's spelling.......

That's a lascivious winkie.

More true words have never been spoken by mankind.

But as with most "rules" mankind comes up with, there ARE exceptions.
