"The Obama administration is rethinking its course recommendations for students ahead of President Obama's address to the the nation's schoolchildren next week, rewriting its suggestions to teachers for student assignments on how to 'help the president.'
. . . .
Among the activities initially suggested for pre-K to 6th grade students was to 'write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.'
Another assignment for students after hearing the speech was to discuss what 'the president wants us to do.'
. . . .
Presidential aides also acknowledged to [the Washington Times] that they helped the U.S. Education Department write the suggested assignments, which stirred criticism by many who say Obama is trying to indoctrinate the education system."
In light of the creepy Pledge of Allegiance (to Obama) video (here), and the original lesson plans disseminated by Obama's Department of Education (and "presidential aides") non-koolaid-drinking parents legitimately questioned the motives and intent of this virtually unprecedented maneuver.
UPDATE: Libs (in this case blogger Mark Brown) are pulling out all the Soros-funded tools to defend the Obama administration's blatant political overreach. Holding up a Q&A by Reagan with four groups of middle school-aged visitors to the White House (here) and history teaching mat'ls available at the Reagan Library. Come on, just admit that you got busted Libs and we can all move on.

The full text of Obama's speech has been released. It stresses personal responsibility, one of the principal themes in the Republican Party platform.
From the speech:
"And that's what I want to focus on today: the responsibility each of you has for your education. I want to start with the responsibility you have to yourself.
Every single one of you has something you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer. And you have a responsibility to yourself to discover what that is. That's the opportunity an education can provide." - President Obama
That's great, William. Too bad for O! they can't get those Dear Leader study guides back.
here's the main debate about this, but thanks for visiting.
Laura Bush spoke today in support of Obama's education speech.
Good for her.
