Kids Didn't Hear Obama, But Will Be Bussed for Bush - News- msnbc.com
Quote:
The Arlington Independent School District, which passed on airing President Barack Obama's live classroom address, has announced that some students will be bussed off campus to hear a message from former President George W. Bush on Sept. 21.
District officials said it's part of a Cowboys Stadium field trip that the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee invited 28 fifth-grade classes to attend several months ago.
In addition to hearing from Bush and former first lady Laura Bush, the students will hear from legendary Dallas Cowboys players and North Texas business and community leaders. The event launches the Super Bowl committee's largest-ever youth education program.

OTOH a conservative columnist come down hard on the republicans for their recent behavior..
Conservatives Look Silly After Obama’s Benign Address
Quote:
Last week, Jim Greer, the chairman of the Florida Republican Party, attacked the president's planned speech, accusing the president of trying to "indoctrinate America's children to his socialist agenda." Today, after he read the speech, he admitted that it was a "good speech" and speculated that maybe the president changed it because of him.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Now what is the lesson you've taught America's children?
Show no respect for the president. Assume the worst.
Do not wait for facts. Attack first, verify later.
Go for the jugular. Not educate but "indoctrinate." Not Democratic but "socialist."
When you turn out to be wrong, don't admit it. Don't apologize.
Instead, take credit. Even if you have absolutely no facts to suggest that your smears had anything to do with the speech, say it's because of you that it was a good speech.
Got that: First you attack, smear, and lie; then you take credit for the fact that what never was going to happen didn't happen.
Conservative? Not in my book.
