thats not even on the same level as what obama is doing rainman.
and stretch, ya i probably can't compete with you in politics but, whoever the president is, i could careless if hes democrat, republican, whatever. they are all corrupt douchebags, that imo have no buisness in elementary or middle school.
sorry i didnt have kids when bush announced the Iraqi war or when the challenger blew. but bush is the perfect example of brainwashing and if his ass was to try and speak to schools i'd have the same feeling.
either way i think its an abuse of power and he shouldn't overstep parents and give you two choices either listen to him or take the kids out of school. I think at the least a permission slip should have been sent out.
