Today President Obama delivered a speech - via website, audio, printed materials - to students across the country. The past few days has had a number of people raising the flag of concern about brainwashing, politicizing our education system, etc.When I step back, I think that someone who has spent a life dedicated to public service, who is taking time to talk to students to stay in school, to study, to work hard and to make a difference, what parent wouldn't want children to hear that from EVERY elected official - regardless of political affiliation - across the country?
To me, too quick are people driven to dismiss, ignore, and castigate efforts before they know the details. It's unfortunate if we raise our kids that way too.
