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.
Nobody's saying to not get involved or don't parent, but I just don't see why this was such a big issue or why so many people wanted to get involved this time.

Heck, I wouldn't be opposed to all presidents speaking every year to students for 15 minutes. I think it's an educational opportunity for the students.

In other words, I just don't see how this was such a big deal.
