The whole thing shows a huge lack of respect for the Office of the Presidency.<br /><br />As a parent of a middle schooler at BF I will be writing the superintendent to complain of this childish action taken by the school district.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768945813587888212.post-33289403212481499592009-09-08T20:13:03.077-04:002009-09-08T20:13:03.077-04:00What a shame, is Ridgewood also rising the rebel f...What a shame, is Ridgewood also rising the rebel flag?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768945813587888212.post-9967909453462823532009-09-08T09:47:47.437-04:002009-09-08T09:47:47.437-04:00I believe that having our young people miss listen...I believe that having our young people miss listening and seeing Mr. Obama's speech today is the wrong choice.<br /><br />President's in the past have addressed the youth of our country, without the fear- mongering that has erupted over this address. <br /><br />Our country is in the hands of our youth in the not too distant future. What are we teaching them?<br /><br />Oh, I know, when the leader of the United States delivers a speech well we don't need to listen to it...we'll decide to listen later, but only if the Presidents speech validates our own way of thinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-768945813587888212.post-82013334196627177582009-09-06T12:37:14.198-04:002009-09-06T12:37:14.198-04:00It is unfortunate that the school district has cho...It is unfortunate that the school district has chosen to approach Mr. Obama's speech with such fear and caution. Children, of any age, should not be prevented from hearing someone's point of view, on a completely unpolitical topic, because their parents fear that a school district is trying to convey a political message (education is good?!?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
