I usually run far away from political controversy. I feel that every one has a right to have and express their opinion .I respect that right. I am not writing this blog to criticize how and what decision is made by parents for their children. It is obvious that responsibility is theirs as parents. That being said......
Why was there such criticism over the President of the United States taking the initiative and time to focus on motivating and inspiring our school age children. He took the time to personally visit the classroom with a message of what the future could hold for these young students. They have an opportunity to accomplish what ever they can perceive. What better example than our First African American President.
Regardless of politics or policy, regardless of who is in office of the President of the United States,
The President holds the highest office in our United States of America and deserve the respect of all Americans.......regardless of party affiliation
Some parents objected to their children listening to the President's message. The message was about the students own responsibility to the student's individual duty to application of learning and continued education.
Where is our respect for the leader of our country? The President was voted by majority vote into the Presidency ..that alone should merit him respect from the citizens of the Greatest Nation on earth.
Our children are exposed to imaginary super Heroes, the hidden dangers of the internet, potential threats on the street with drugs, Pedophiles in many of our neighborhoods, peer pressure yet some worry that a President of the United States will somehow influence these young minds with a political agenda.
I apologize for the rant but you listen to some of the news about children murdering parents and parents harming and murdering their children and the whole world through the eyes of the media is going to hell in a hand basket. ..a real harm of our children...today's society.
In 1988 President Reagan, one of America's most loved President spoke a message to our school age children.
President G.W.Bush spoke to our young children concerning education. This is nothing new....no new method of attack toward influencing political policy to our children
Laura Bush , a true advocate for the education of our children and a teacher expressed her support for the actions of President Obama's in addressing the youth...our future leaders.
Why would this gesture of concern for the education of our children cause such a stir....I will never figure out. Our President advised these young students
" Be careful what you post on the web...it will never go away and you could be famous someday."..
yeah that a message that needed censored so our children would not be influence by political advice.
Again this is my rant....my confusion...over something that was meant to be good yet looked on as such a detriment to our children that they were censored from listening to a President of the United States....God Bless our America........This nhas nothing to do with political affliation only respect for the Office of President of United States................
