Today I want to take a couple of minutes to briefly discuss President Obama’s Address to America’s Schoolchildren that took place yesterday, the full text of which can be viewed here.

This address caused incredible controversy even before it was delivered.  The conservative media outlets were ablaze with angry parents threatening to keep their kids out of school in order to prevent Obama’s “socialist indoctrination.”  This despite the fact that the White House released both the subject of the speech and the actual text of the address in advance.  And of course, I have to assume that when Reagan and Bush 41 addressed schoolkids in a similar fashion, they were simply being patriots and not messengers of “conservative indoctrination.”
