A Pattern

I homeschool my kids now. So having them be exposed to speakers and programs that I don't agree with at school is not really a problem for me anymore.

The whole Obama speaks at schools thing scares me and I didn't quite get why. Have presidents before him spoke to children directly about staying in school? Yes. Did parents oppose it? Yes. Did parents keep their children home from school or out of class when said Presidents spoke? Probably not. So why is there such a big stink about this president speaking to the children of our future? I think I found the underlying answer.

This morning I could not sleep so I was watching Fox News Saturday. The hosts had on a mother from Texas. Although it does not matter, let me mention that she was a well spoken black woman. I only mention it so we can put the race card back in our pocket and move Justify Fullon. She nailed the reason for me.

This president has shown that he can't be trusted! He changes his story like Cameron changes his underpants. Well, maybe a bit more than that. I mean his story not Cam's...well you know.

We just can't trust that what he's doing and what he's saying are matching up. I considered looking for the speech on cable news to tape and watch. That way if he truly did follow the script of just encouraging our youth to stay in school and better themselves, maybe my kids could watch it. However, the transparency of this government is an oxymoron. They will release the script on Monday, a holiday and the day before the proposed speech, thereby giving the parents and administrators of our schools virtually no time to read and decide intelligently what to do. It gives no time for the parents to contact the schools and have an informed debate with the administrators to decide whether or not to have this event. This event is being rammed down the throats of our children on virtually the first day of classes for many. Overwhelming the system anyone?

I understand that the Butler School District in PA is not participating. Yeah!!! As for me and mine. We will be doing regular school. Actually, Kelly will be working during the speech so I only need to keep Cameron from CNN. Not too hard as we don't watch that channel anyway.

Happy Labor Day everyone. Remember Monday is to show gratitude to the WORKERS. I feel that pretty soon we won't need this holiday as Socialism will prevail and there will be no reason to work.
