Republicans are Crazy!

Okay, conservative republicans, like the head of the party in Florida, say that Barack Obama's speech to school kids is an attempt to "indoctrinate" them into the "cult of Obama".

Obama says in the speech to air tomorrow:
"What you're learning in school today will determine whether we as a nation can meet our greatest challenges in the future...You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment."

Truly horrifying to ask kids to learn in math and sciences, huh?

"You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free."

Fair and free? No homeless? No crime? No discriminating? How dare he!?

"You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy."

Oh dear God!

"If you quit on school -- you're not just quitting on yourself, you're quitting on your country."

For goodness sake, how could he... we all want a bunch of quitters!

"At the end of the day, the circumstances of your life -- what you look like, where you come from, how much money you have, what you've got going on at home -- that's no excuse for neglecting your homework or having a bad attitude. That's no excuse for talking back to your teacher, or cutting class, or dropping out of school. That's no excuse for not trying."

You socialist! How could you ask kids to not be rude? To DO their work? To have a positive attitude and respect for teachers?! What? What?

Oh my... yes, he's clearly "indoctrinating" us into a culture that asks us to respect adults, work hard, be commited to a task, and focus on the possibilites of our future. Frightening, NO?!

Der.
