Not in my kid's school. For the first time in history, the students were required to watch the inauguration.

When I was in school, they made us watch some presidential stuff. I think it was an inauguration (or two) but I was too busy passing notes with my friends to pay much attention.

:rofl

Yeh ! It's like the Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" thing. It made a nice bumber sticker, didn't help, but it was nice and did not harm anything. I also don't think that the "Just Say No" thing helped out in any election and that poster will not help President Obama either.

It's harmless, albiet useless, nice message.

Good example! I have mentioned in the past my affection for Nancy Reagan and her "Just Say No" campaign.

Yeh all of you "liberal" kids passed notes around. The good conservative kids memorized the Constitution and other good stuff and they became the patriots. And all of you note passers grew up to become abortionists, anti-war demonstrators and tax collectors. :lol:
 
Not surprisingly, RightinNYC, I'm with you in this. Have you seen the discussion questions offered up to go along with the Sept. 8th address? It's all about Obama's desire for a collectivist society and about how kids can help the president achieve that. :roll:

I would NOT mind it if the president gave a non-political speech to my kids and showed them around the WH, his kids, and described what all is involved with his position.

That's not what this is.

And if someone is relying on Obama to keep a kid in school, that kid's ******, anyway.

We all have a position to fill in this life.



Really, when I was a kid there wasn't one of us who gave a rip about politics. It was just something we had to suffer through until recess (very young) or art class (junior/senior).

I'm not sure what this means as I can't find much information on this topic anywhere else, but what the **** is a "national address to students?" It better not be something that teachers are making kids watch during the school day.

It's the indoctrination of the children in this country. My kids will not be participating.

Now I ask you, if Bush had written a book, would teachers have made it required reading?

Yes, but most likely it would have been a first grade decodable.
 
Don't Tase Me Bro said:
No, I don't. He's the president. Historically, it's been customary to hang the president's picture on the wall in a classroom. Is that troubling too?



What is ridiculous about hanging a poster in a school hallway that discourages children from dropping out of school and ruining their lives?
Click to expand...

The elementary, junior high and high schools that I went to didn't have a picture of the president anywhere. The closest thing was in my history classes, where all the presidents were pictured, or maybe a picture of George Washington.

There's no doubt, that if there were a Republican prez doing this, the Libbos would be ****ting themselves.
 
RightinNYC said:
Does anyone else find this troubling? I don't want a poster of any politician being placed throughout public schools. This is an ad created by democrats and funded by liberal advocacy groups that is being given free space in public schools. Ridiculous.

In all honesty and back on track of the OP if this was something Bush would have done, I would have been upset and probably would have seen it as something with sinister intentions. Most everything Bush did was suspect in my eyes (with good reason). If it was Reagan, I wouldn't have been concerned at all. I would have viewed it as a talking point to keep kids in school. :shrug:


I think who the one is, that's putting this out there, has a lot to do with how people receive it.

I meant to say the first time in that school's history. They said the reason they made it a requirement this year was that it was historical. BS. The teachers are very pro-obama during the election and convinced the kids to vote for him in the mock election. My kid was a McCain supporter (dh & I really weren;t into him), and he said he felt pressured to vote for Obama. So did my conservative friend's daughter. I know that's not an indictment of the entire school system, but for a school already considered liberal, that really frosted my hide.

I was kidding you as you know ! I was a political geek in a way !! I formed a political science club in highschool and since my parents survived both Nazi and Communist terror I usually wrote term papers or English papers about politics hatred of Russians and NAZI'S and I thought Senator McCarthy was a great man for going after Communists.

But I made up for it in college and the military. Anyway they tell me I had fun !!
 
Political propaganda posters have no business in public schools. The poster in the opening post, while obviously conveying a good message to students, is still a political propaganda poster. What are we trying to start, another cultural revolution? Ultimately, its no different than this:

Actually that one was pretty funny.
 
I think it does more to promote the personality cult of Pharaoh Obama.

That aside, Kids who have decided to drop out are comfortable being losers, appealing to their patriotism is like appealing to my sense of style, that is a futile exercise.

Are you saying that the CHICOMS invented reading ?? Is the encouragement of reading a Communist thing ? Wait, wait a minute now. Reading Is Fundamental !!! That came out of Wshington right ? \Are you accusing Washington of being Comunist ?

Wow look at this from RIF iNC. Welcome to Reading Is Fundamental These people are Communists I tell you ! Only Communists would want all children to read !
These people have to be stopped !!! If they are not all of the children will be able to read and then they will want democracy!!

"Reading Is Fundamental, Inc. (RIF), founded in 1966, motivates children to read by working with them, their parents, and community members to make reading a fun and beneficial part of everyday life. RIF's highest priority is reaching underserved children from birth to age 8. Through community volunteers in every state and U.S. territory, RIF provides 4.6 million children with 16 million new, free books and literacy resources each year. "

What??? I am accusing no one of being communist. I am merely pointing out the dangers of creating a cult of personality around a sitting president. If you start using the president's glorified image to promote education in public schools, then you open the door for future presidents to use their image in public schools for more political purposes.
 
When a national leaders sees fit to indoctrinate children it rarely has a happy ending.
