I am ashamed of us

Yesterday, President Obama gave an address to all school children. In his speech he encouraged students to work hard and study to make America a better nation. Many parents and some schools refused to allow the kids to be exposed to such socialistic doctrine. My God, we have become a nation of stupid people.

p.s. My dear readers. Not all twitters that tweet nor bloggers that blog are telling you the truth. Use your noggin.

The schools in a neighboring county didn't show the the live speech but recorded it for later viewing. The excuse was the timing of the speech which was during the lunch hour.

Our governor, he of Argentina fame, wrote a note to the Dept. of Education urging the dept. to "provide parents with a way to have their children not watch the speech."

Some people want to believe the lies because it makes their opinions and their view of people of color valid. They care little for the truth. They just don't want to admit the bottom line--racism.

It seems incomprehensible.

I have raised my child so that one speech will not "brainwash" him. Sad that the people of the US could be so small minded.

found your blog via Rainy Day. I am speechless. But I do have one thing that springs to mind. Is "racism" what really hides behind the description of Barack Obama's utterances as "socialistic doctrine"?

My brother says that we Americans, to a certain extent, are sheep. And sometimes his pronoucement seems spot on !
