I guess my problem with this is as librarians do we need to now have signed slips
from parents if we want our students to watch a video from an author? Or does a
science or math teacher need to get permission now to teach the metric system
because we don't use it? Could this be an agenda to corrupt our students - please
take a look around you and see that for the most part the good that most students
learn, they learn in school.
I live in an area of the country were it is very republican and we have had a
number of parents livid with the thought that we will show it. I truly think it is
a sad day for our students and our country when people can be so disrespectful to
the Commander-and-Chief of our country, what does that teach our students about
respecting people?

> No other president in history has used schools to bring forth his message through
>media. Kennedy did have Presidential badges for physical fitness but did not use a
>"captive audience" all of whom are minors-save a few seniors. My mother tells me
>that high school kids watched Kennedy's funeral on t.v. Also, the horrifying
>events of 9/11 played on every television in my building the day it happened, but
>these events were not speeches.
>
> My daughter's school sent voice mails to parents saying that is they did not want
>their children to see the speech, send a note to the school. It seems to me that
>students with notes will be seen in a negative way from their peers.
>
> The best idea I've seen is to tape the speech and allow parents to borrow it-also
>Obama is very good at immediately sending everything to his website. I'm sure his
>speech will be all over the Internet in seconds.
