Re: [LM_NET] OBAMA'S SPEECH

[Bob Hicks <bob.hicks@USD470.COM>]

LM_NET,
I APOLOGIZE! I thought I had found the actual text to NEXT Tuesday  
speech. However, after further investigating the resource which I  
should have done in the first place before I posted, I've discovered  
it was an earlier speech on public education.

Nevertheless, since our public educational system control remains  
largely locale instead of national although perhaps it should be more  
national thus uniform, I'm not sure the authority of the office of the  
presidency should be utilized regardless what he says.  Can the office  
really be objective and/or politically neutral?  Also, remember,  
because of compulsory education--students are a captive audience  
without a choice of content.
