He may very well have changed the speech, but I found it very foolish that there was such a large public outcry.

It was a simple, short speech to schoolchildren. The fact that people made such fools of themselves over this just show that we live in a time and a culture where everyone has to be offended or opposed to everything that goes on.

I said it before the speech and I stick to it now that I heard it. There was no reason to make a big deal about a president speaking to schools.

(Maybe it just seems I'm in the middle, but I am very, very hard to the right on most issues - especially those dealing with government, taxation and fiscal policy. I do have some left leaning opinions on some social issues, but in general I am on the right)
We can chalk it up to agreeing to disagree. I don't call the act of parenting foolish...it's our decision as parents to raise our kids the way we see fit not the schools decision. I feel more people should be active in theirs kids lives and that includes what happens at schools.

I do find it ironic that teachers and educators always say parents should be more involved and when they do we get labeled as foolish.

If the guy was an upstanding person I would not have a problem with him speaking to my kids but he is the bottom of the barrel and I'm being nice.
