Idiots Fear President of the United States Will Brainwash Nation’s Schoolchildren

***

On September 8, 2009 the President of the United States is to speak with our nation’s schoolchildren about studying hard and staying in school. This is not unprecedented – George H.W. Bush urged kids to study hard and say no to drugs. President Obama is speaking directly to the kids. And that’s where the fight started.

Reactions to this cool, effective way of getting through to kids:

Florida Republican Party Chairman Jim Greer released a statement Monday accusing Obama of using taxpayer money to "indoctrinate" children.

Parents are afraid that their children will be indoctrinated or brainwashed by the President’s speech.

"I'm an American. They are Americans, and I don't feel that's OK. I feel very scared to be in this country with our leadership right now."

"The idea that schoolchildren across our nation will be forced to watch the president justify his plans ... is not only infuriating but goes against beliefs of the majority of Americans, while bypassing American parents through an invasive abuse of power."

Blindsided by the hysteria the planned speech evoked, the administration clarified:

"The goal of the speech and the lesson plans is to challenge students to work hard, stay in school and dramatically reduce the dropout rate," an administration spokesman said. "This isn't a policy speech. It's a speech designed to encourage kids to stay in school."

As to the letter writing plans, the administration agreed that they were “inartfully worded”, withdrew them and issued revised versions focusing solely on each child’s education goals.

This is what this country has come to over this summer of discontent and frustration – Americans accusing their president of brainwashing school children!

Have you people lost your minds? Are you really that stupid? Are you that easily influenced? Have you lost touch with reality?

Idiots! All of you.
