Do you think only schools in Conservative areas are concerned about Obama's

I know here in my school district they are going to do it. My neighbor is going to go pick up his kids before the speech and then return them after the speech and follow up worksheets are done. It is not that he has anything against them hearing the speech. But he does object to the content on the follow up sheets. His kids are in kindergarten and the the first grade. Personally he feels Obama should not be talking to kids that young any. As for me. Well I virtual school my son and they haven given us the option of doing the speech and the follow up sheets. It is not required. My son is 6. So no, I am not doing them. I may let him watch the speech. But only after I have watched it first. I definatley will not be doing the follow up sheets.

I guess I just don't understand what's so horrible about telling children to STAY IN SCHOOL, LISTEN, APPLY oneself, or LEARN 2 BE RESPONSIBLE. And from what I've read (www.whitehouse.gov/mediaResources/PreparedSchoolRemarks/) that's essentially whats being said. I could not find any subliminal messages, and I looked really really hard, I may have to play it (the video) backwards though... I think this, like many other "hot topics", is diversionary. I'd make my kid watch. I'd make her do the assignment sheet, even if she wholeheartedly disagreed with the contents of the speech. In that worksheet is the ability to express the child's views to the teacher,pro or con. Also, it would give great insight as to the child's cognitive abilities to understand and process information given him/her.
