So I didn't see a thread on this yet, but if you some how haven't heard of this yet basically schools are supposed to show a speech from Obama which is supposed to promote education and tell kids to set goals and such. Well some conservatives are calling this some sort of indoctrination from what I can tell and its sadly created a controversy.
So for a discussion do you think any of these claims have anything viable about them or are they just pointless? Do you think these claims may have gone too far possibly or not enough(for whatever reason)?
I think, is that everyone wants to target Obama for something! He is like the political target for all the news,media,and everything else in the world! If he does something wrong, like he has a stain on his shirt, he'll be on the cover of TIME, PEOPLE, and headline of every newspaper in Washington D.C.
What i think the media needs to do is stay away from Obama and let him do his work.
It is technically an invasion of rights. If their district shows it, the parents should be able to sign a letter saying they can watch it, or not. Children are highly impressionable, and one sentence saying anything 'controversial' could set the entire nation spiraling out of control.
By the way, AOL isn't exactly the best news source. Extremely liberal. I determined that just be reading the article :P

You have learned Mass Media Tip #12 : Use the president as a scapegoat for everything that is wrong in the world.
Maybe because he didn't do anything except hide in his tree house avoiding the Iraq war.
Oh really? That's why he visited the front lines MANY times?
Tip: Bush didn't give a shit what the media said. That's why he stayed the same (quite decent, actually) his entire presidency. He didn't cater to the media nearly as much as the past 4 presidents.
So, by your logic, stupidity is worse than essentially killing millions and millions of people? ____________________________________________________________________________ Meh, I don't have any problems with this whole issue. I'd heard about it, but I don't really care. As long as we have a president, we have a scapegoat.
