DU this poll: "Is Obama trying to indoctrinate school children"?

[DesertRat]

From the Arizona Republic website. Results are reported on the local NBC affiliate news.

Do you agree with the parents who are refusing to let their children watch President Obama's education speech at school because they believe he's trying to indoctrinate them?

Yes is currently at 57% :eyes:

5. this is crazy. I hated Bush but it would never have occured to

me that children should be protected from his speeches even though I might have taken pity on them for being subjected to them. We are talking the President of the United States here and learning children should be trusted to handle various views, especially views of their president. I think kids are often more astute than people give them credit for.

6. Back in the day (1980's for me) Reagan used to talk to us all the time. What is the big deal?

[babylonsister]

7. Indoctrinate them to excel? Yes, that evil man!

:eyes:

[DesertRat]

33. At our school, teacher's have the option to show it or not

But if they do, they have to send home the permission slips. So that means if the child's teacher doesn't like our president or just doesn't want to show it, the children in their class don't even have the option to see it. :(

8. Bush was always speaking at some school

[Mz Pip]

Kind of a loaded choice of words there, AZcentral. :eyes:

Get a grip. The kids haven't been roundedup and sent off to Obamacamps.

[DesertRat]

36. This is what the AZ State Supt. of Education had to say:

"Tom Horne, the Republican state superintendent of public instruction in Arizona, said he's troubled that the accompanying U.S. Department of Education
materials "are too worshipful toward Obama" and "educationally unsound." :puke:

21. Even RW Joe Scarborough commented on this BS saying to the RWers pushing this meme,

"Enjoy your high ratings for the week. You're ruining the Republican party."

[goclark]

24. Joe said that ~ pick me off the floor

The question I have is where are the "high ratings" for the Republicans?

On Health Care?

On Fox?

Obama's Poll Numbers were up.

[jenmito]

25. Yup! He said more than that! I don't remember his exact words but he mentioned Glenn Beck

among others! He was talking about Faux's high ratings. I think Beck's ratings in the last week or so were his highest yet, even beating O'Reilly. I think the only reason his ratings are high is because there are people tuning in to see how CRAZY he is!

[azmouse]

22. Gawd! the people here are such a stupid bunch of sheep.

If it was boosh giving this talk these idiots would be kissing his ass and calling it ice cream.

[jenmito]

23. Bush's father and Reagan gave speeches to young school kids, too.

I don't recall any complaints from anybody.

[Rwalsh]

There's talk of having to send home a permission slip before teachers can show the President of the United States in the classrooms.
