Defeat The Oligarhy*

Aww, this is nice. President Hopey wants to talk to the kids. Now, as professional educational technicians ourselves, we have some concerns about his emerging policies, particularly the emphasis on charter schools--yeah, let's make education a for profit enterprise. It works so well for health care--but it's early yet, and unlike his predecessor we think the new president has the capability to actually learn and grow in office.

Additionally, we understand perfectly his value as a role model to all those back row hooligans so you can bet we'll all be in our places with bright shiny faces and that'll be the way we start out the day on September 8.

Of course, that's just our opinion. We could be wrong.

A planned speech by President Obama to students across the country has some parents planning a boycott.

Oh. OK, well admittedly we haven't looked at the text of the president's speech. Perhaps it's not appropriate for a captive audience of young people, you know, like Channel One or something. What is he going to talk about Mr. and Mrs. Parent?

The president will talk to students through a video link about the importance of staying in school. But some parents are accusing the White House of trying to force children to sign to its agenda.

Hey, you have a point Mr. and Mrs. Parent. After all, the more kids who stay in school the more end up in our class and the more papers we have to read. Down with teaching kids the value of education we say! Right Jim Greer?

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer released a statement condemning President Obama’s use of taxpayer dollars to indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda.

You know we never thought about it that way, but he's right. What can be more socialist than education? Everybody is supposed to get as much of it as they want and we all have to pay for it.

Save Our Democracy! Stay Stupid!
