Apparently the school district used to have a 'Freedom Day' or 'Free Market Day' or some such, I can't remember the exact name. But there was a picture of an ROTC cadet in dress uniform, holding a rifle and standing next to the teacher to represent what going to school in a communist country would be like.

Movement conservatives have long sought to turn American education into a moron factory, producing students who quote Bible verses they are unable to read.

It was a coded socialist and Islamic message that went directly into the subconscious chasms of the children; they've been zapped folks, it's too late!! Long live Hugo Chazev and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Obama, however, avoided any mention of political initiatives. He repeatedly urged students to work hard and stay in school." Push a partisan political agenda?? I'm still trying to figure out what the heck did they think he was going to say? I'll bet if you checked the dialogue of the last 10,000 celebrities (athletes, movie stars, singers, rock stars, politicians,etc.)that visited a school, it probably went like this: STAY IN SCHOOL, STUDY HARD, YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING! (most likely with a dash of 'listen to your parents' and 'don't use drugs' sprinkled in....) But Obama is Satan/Hitler/Grinch incarnate, so of course his message would be somehow different...sinister.. The conservative crowd can be such dumbasses..... -from CNN:

Oh, and my kids didn't bring up Hitler once! Shocking stuff.
