FOX said tonight there is a "revision" from the DoE: Critics Say Obama Should Stay Out of the Classroom Wednesday, September 02, 2009 By Bret Baier foxnews.com Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine: Superintendent in Chief? The White House is facing opposition from several groups over next week's national address by President Obama to school students, with one critic calling him "superintendent in chief." The Department of Education has offered a series of classroom activities to coincide with the speech. Students in grades K through six are encouraged to read books about past presidents and Barack Obama. But other suggestions include writing, "letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president." For grades seven through 12, proposed activities include asking questions like "How will (President Obama) inspire us? How will he challenge us?" Some critics are concerned the lesson plans amount to a form of indoctrination. Neal McCluskey of the CATO Institute says, "It essentially tries to force kids to say the president and the presidency is inspiring and that's very problematic." And Frederick Hess, an education policy director at the conservative think tank AEI, says: "I don't think it's appropriate for teachers to ask students to help promote the president's preferred school reforms and policies."

Obama's School Speech This is part of the attempt to create an African American Insurgency against the US Constitution, Bill of Rights and Christianity. For forty years, Racism and Black Liberation Theology have been taught in many African American Churches just as Radical Islam used the Mosques to teach hatred for the western culture and the west. Every successful insurgency needs outside support. These marxist/socialists have an outside sponsor ( George Soros and his Communist crowd), a financial base(ACORN and their thousands of affiliates), Auxiliaries(SIEU and the white socialist far left who hate their Country), and are moving to organize the Guerrilla Bands (Americorps and our youth). They have taken over the Democratic Party to appear legitimate. This is the most dangerous threat this Nation has faced since it's founding. The bottom line question is will we have the balls to take it back by what ever means we need to use. I hope and pray we are as brave as our Founders. If not we don't deserve it anyway.
