Thread Name: BS: Obama's address to school children
Subject: RE: BS: Obama's address to school children
In the light of "complaints about the speech being one-sided", maybe there should be another speech from someone presenting the case for "the other side".

It would have to be all about how kids at school shouldn't do any work at school, and should feel free to insult their teachers and ignore their parents, and skive off school when they feel like it, and never ever do any studying at home. If they see anyone being bullied, they should stand back and not interfere - or maybe even better, join in.   

And of course, maybe most important thing is that, if they ever find anything hard, they should always give up immediately.

As for any idea that they might do something to help other people, or aim to do something useful with their lives , or even hope to help their country, phooey.

That should even things up a bit, and balance out "President Obama's socialist ideology", to quote "Jim Greer, the Republican state chairman in Florida". Maybe Mr Greer could give the speech along those lines...
