![Leaving other tumblr’s enraged comments below. Mine: To co-opt a term from the Right, wouldn’t taking your kid out of school during a presidential speech be deemed UNPATRIOTIC?
For Christ’s sake.
Via shorterexcerpts: peterwknox:think4yourself: The latest viral wingnut e-mail, sent early on Tuesday, reveals that teabaggers (with the help of the G0P) are organizing a nationwide “Keep Your Kid Home From School Day” to protest President Obama’s upcoming address to schoolchildren on the importance of studying hard and getting a good education.
Funny thing is, you didn’t hear a peep from these nutjobs when the first President Bush delivered a 15 minute speech to the nation’s classrooms on the importance of avoiding drugs. You didn’t see any of them blowing a gasket when teachers were supplied with guides to help student’s interpret President Reagan’s Challenger Speech. And you certainly didn’t see Democrats pulling their kids out of school over either of those events.
Unless these people don’t want their kids to be encouraged on studying hard, there’s only one reason for them to have their children play hooky: an irrational fear of President Obama.
Their outrage over this speech is being fueled by the likes of Matt Drudge and Michelle Malkin and even the Republican Party itself, each of whom represent the crazy behind the crazies. They’ve completely lost their minds. Insane to the core.
Maybe if they spent more time in school instead of skipping it, they’d learn how to spell words like “oligarchy.”
haha - ‘Socialist Indoctrination of Americas [sic] Children’
Half this countrya very vocal minority of maybe 20% of the country tops has lost its collective mind. Jon Stewart needs to come back from vacation.
And were I a public school teacher, I would be getting reprimanded for handing out a homework assignment for parents in which they go to the nearest dictionary, define “Socialism” and then explain how the hell the President urging their children to study is equal to said definition.](http://7.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kpcqvkzoJN1qzqygio1_500.jpg)
