Thread: Presidential speech to our children.

After his election there were required papers about why this was such a historically great election and about Obamas amazing rise. When this is the way schools address politics it scares me.

First, I think it's hilarious that we're calling them "conservative kids". I'd argue that branding your child's political beliefs when they're still using crayons is more worrisome than the image they're coloring.

I don't really remember specifics of my early elementary years but I'm sure I had to color an outline of George Washington. You think I knew anything about Washington's politics? I knew he was the first President and my teacher had me color him in. It's not like it had any affect on my eventual political views.
