Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Some Parents Choose Not to Allow Their Kids to Hear Obama's National Address
Quote:
Regine Gordon doesn't want her 6-year-old son to hear from President Obama next week.
Gordon, of Tampa, Fla., is among a growing number of parents across the country who are troubled by the president's plan to address elementary, middle and high school students in an online and televised speech Tuesday.
"It's a form of indoctrination, and I think, really, it's indicative of the culture that the Obama administration is trying to create," Gordon told FOXNews.com on Thursday. "It's very socialistic."
After writing letters to her congressmen and school officials, Gordon said her son, David, will be allowed to participate in an alternative activity at Gorrie Elementary School during Obama's address, which comes on the first day of school for many children.
"I'm waiting to hear from his teacher, but I have told them to go ahead and I'd like [David] to go do something else," Gordon said. "It's kind of like going through the children to get to their parents. Children are very vulnerable and excited. I mean, this is the president. I think it's an underhanded tactic and indicative of the way things are being done."

Hell, this day and age he'd probably get suspended for being a trouble-maker and arguing with the teachers.

Why not leave the kids in school so that can witness first hand what a total and complete utter failure "Hope and Change" is........

My kids both just informed me that the only "pledge" they'll take is The Pledge of Allegiance to the United States.....not Obama......

BTW...in case Obama has it all mixed up....which he does.....along with the rest of the libs.....and some Reps too.....

"We're allowing teachers to decide," an Austin, Texas, school official told FOXNews.com. "But most of the kids will be at lunch. It's not going to be a big issue here."
There you go, problem solved. Show it during lunch.

Because politics should have NO place in our schools.

Hmmm... You make an interesting point. But it is a point of a different level than this broadccast IMO.

I was speaking of "official" politics, which I suspect you know.
