JAG,
-I agree with you, yes, a pretty straight brief as attached. However, this controversy will not die for awahile. Why? because....
-The left/dems side of teh discussion will say, --see, this is a simple "stay in and do good in school" speech.
-The right/conservative side will say, ---yeah , that's what the speech says NOW, but what would he have said if we hadn't voiced our concern.
-So we'll never know who is correct.
-But I, as an independant (some still say "wishy-washy"), was wiling to wait and see what the guy says, because almost whatever he says has to be inspirational for kids in inner cities and rural areas where education is in shambles. BUt what i was concerned about as expressed in below emails was the second paragraph of teh original lesson plans, --the "what can we do for our president" stuff.
-It's true that None of us may ever know if or how his speech may have changed because of teh hubbub; but it is equally true that we all DO know that the the lesson plan changed because of teh hubbub.
-This is just one incident of political whip lash, and, by most accounts, a small one. However, what is causing growing concern among the independents I know and talk with is the growing accumulation of these single "not-to-worry" incidents, that as a group is starting to cause alot of the people "to worry." Examples: the "I apologize for America" tour thru Europe; the "America is not a Christian nation" tour thru the mid-east; the kisssy face tour through South America; the we can't intrude in teh Iran unrest, but we can intrude in teh Isreali unrest"; the "no-read" vote on cap and trade; the public takeover of auto companies that disregarded long standing bankruptcy procedures for bond owners in favor of unions claims; the czars of unvetted people of questionable character and loyalties; an untennable healthcare bill in content to be pushed thru in a no-read' vote; etc, etc, etc,
-I honestly want to believe that he and his administration can be good for America, but I doubt it more and more every day.
