Staying in School is Liberal Propoganda


Apparently listening to the President is liberal propaganda these days, especially if he is speaking directly to young people. The Denver Post:

President Barack Obama's plan to address the nation's students during the school day Tuesday has polarized parents over whether it's OK for their kids to listen to the speech.

On one side are parents who say the webcast speech to K-12 students is "political recruiting" and "spreading the liberal agenda."

On the other are those who say listening to presidential speeches is an important part of American culture and the education process.

The White House officially announced the speech Wednesday morning, and the U.S. Department of Education followed up with a letter to school principals and a lesson plan for discussing the talk. The White House said the speech will address the importance of studying and staying in school.

I dont know if "staying in school" is liberal propaganda, but it seems to me that a president that is pretty popular among young people, is a good role model to be spreading the message about the importance of school. Also, people that assume that by listening to him, young people will become brainwashed also assume that young people cannot think for themselves. Here is a newsflash: we can and we do.
