Kids Didn't Hear Obama, But Will be Bussed for Bush - News- msnbc.com
The Arlington Independent School District, which passed on airing President Barack Obama's live classroom address, has announced that some students will be bussed off campus to hear a message from former President George W. Bush on Sept. 21.

And the right went all nutso about Obama "indoctrinating" their children....

Sorry we cant allow the children to listen to the sitting President because it is during class time, but it is noooo problem busing them off to listen to a former President... yea right, nothing partisan or hypocritical there..
 
At some point, the nut jobs are going to go too far with the craziness and its going to backfire for them big time. Just like with Terry Schiavo, at some point the straw is going to break the camels back.
 
Dude, its TX and they will get to hear from the Dallas cowboys. Bush is a footnote.
 
It's pretty rich .... freaking morons. Bet they don't even see a contradiction ...

So you are saying they get to go to see a bunch of criminals? And how is that at all justified during class time!!!???

1st off they're the Dallas Cowboys, not criminals.
2nd they're the Dallas Cowboys and it's Texas.
 
All the Libbos are perfectly cool with this, right?
 
If it were as black and white as the OP makes it seem, I'd agree, but it's not -- not the least of which because this trip requires parental consent, and parents could also have requested that children be let out of school to see Obama's speech.

It's all in the story, but Pete (natch!) didn't mention it.

Actually I don't have a problem with this.

However, given your latest posts you must be furious with the indoctrination the children could receive right?
 
Hmmmmm let me see ....

this one is difficult .......

thinking ......

Oh yeah~ I think I see it!!

some students

I'm probably just a right wing wackjob, but I see a teeny tiny difference between some students from some school in Texas where the former President resides and every student in the United State of America.

But wait! There's more!

It's not just President Bush who will be speaking.

In addition to hearing from Bush and former first lady Laura Bush, the students will hear from legendary Dallas Cowboys players and North Texas business and community leaders. The event launches the Super Bowl committee's largest-ever youth education program.


Nice try, though. ;)

I had no problem with kids in school hearing Obama speak, and I have no problem with children hearing Bush speak.

From the linked article:

If it has the possibility to help kids do better in school, I am all for it. I even applaud the Bush's for doing things to help kids.
 
Oh noes!!11!!! The children are being indoctrinated! This is just like North Korea and strikingly similar to the Hitler Youth. :lol:

I still believe that children, especially grade school kids, shouldn't be exposed to anything that could be turned into an agenda driven event. This has the potential to be turned into an agenda driven event.

Now, I want to see alllllllll the Libbos come out in full support of this, but I'm sure we're only going to hear crickets.

Why? Not all Conservatives were up in arms and whining like you were about Obama's speech.

Our kids are exposed to adverstising of all kinds--which are agenda driven events.

Stay in school, do your homework, what scary propaganda! It's sure beats buy more..........fill in the blank.

YEAH!

They're a year late for that. Tank and Pacman are gone.

Or perhaps just a decade late. The 90's cowboys could've probably gave them a great lesson in the criminal justice system.




.....**** the cowboys

;)

But in all seriousness, this is a decent bit different than the Obama thing but I didn't really have a big issue with the Obama thing and don't really have it here.






Go Skins

Not in school, they're not. There aren't any posters in the halls saying something along the lines of, "Support Israel's fight for freedom", or, "Support Palestine's fight for indepndence". Nor, should there be anything of that nature in a school house.
 
Now, I want to see alllllllll the Libbos come out in full support of this, but I'm sure we're only going to hear crickets.

And I want to see you explain how terrible this is, so you can be consistent too.
 
I see no problem with the kids hearing either person talk.

Once again Peter your way off the mark here is a suggesting maybe you should stick to the EU and that little Utopia of a Concept. because when it come's to trying to debate US Politics your not doing very well at it.

Oh and the next time I suggest before you post something it would make you look like you might understand what is actually going on in the US.

I understand fully what is going on in the US.. do you? Because your response is very non committable to say the least.... That you cant see the hypocrisy of the school is not my fault, but I guess in your little world hypocrisy has become the norm as long as it supports the right.. nothing new there.
