Daddy O

clipped from www.qando.net

For the pre-K to 6th grade group the plan suggests pre-speech questions like: “Why is it important that we listen to the President and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of congress, or the governor? Why is what they say important?”

Now that doesn’t tend to border on indoctrination or anything does it? “Obey you young skulls full of mush. Elected officials are good. Listen to them. Question authority? Not till you get to the 7th grade.”

Short readings. Notable quotes excerpted (and posted in large print on board) from President Obama’s speeches about education.
Based on these excerpts, what can we infer the President believes is important to be successful educationally?

Boy, you know what I’d like to tell the President if I was in one of those classes?

Leave our freakin’ kids alone. And don’t ever assume you have either the right or privilege of addressing them about anything ever again without our permission.

he only want’s to be our national daddy
