VENT!

I understand why some parents home school their children. Michael & I are seriously considering it at the moment. We learned yesterday the Pres. Obama wants to address the children of the nation at school. That sounds fine & dandy right except a few little left out details....he won't tell people what it is about & wants to issue homework. I have a major problem with all of this knowing his political & social affiliations. I know the problems that he seems to be having with passing his "Obama care" crap and the opposition to his socialist views. Michael & I are concerned about the content of his message & what he is wanting the children to do ("how can I help Pres. Obama?" paper from what we understand). I mean since he can't get the voting adults in on his side why not try to persuade the next generation to become socialist.... I don't think so, maybe in North Korea (and I think something like that happened with the "Hitler Youth") but not in America. This is America the free, the brave damn it and I want it to stay that way. My children are not going to be a part of his games. We learned that there are a lot of schools opting out of the telecast & I praise them for the protection they are giving our children. We are hoping that Anna's school will be one of them but if not a letter will be sent to her teacher & the principal and hell we will probably keep her home for the day just to be on the safe side. Like I said before if she gets in trouble for that both of my parent have masters in education & my dad is a cert. teacher. I think they can handle the schooling part of their lives! Thank God we still have our freedom of speech.... for now!
