This whole thing is absolutely hysterical. Not a single one of you cared for one minute when it was Reagan or Bush doing this...but now that it's Obama, its "indoctrination!!!" Grow a pair and stop being so scared to listen to anyone who you disagree with. Little Justin and Little Ashley will be just fine. After all, you probably subject them to wingnut indoctrination on a daily basis. Give me a break!
PreK-6 Menu of Classroom Activities:
President Obama’s Address to Students
Across America
Produced by Teaching Ambassador Fellows, U.S. Department of Education
Before the Speech:
Teachers can build background knowledge about the President of the United States and his speech by reading books about presidents and Barack Obama and motivate students by asking the following questions.
…
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?
During the Speech:
As the President speaks, teachers can ask students to write down key ideas or phrases that are important or personally meaningful. Students could use a note-taking graphic organizer such as a Cluster Web, or students could record their thoughts on sticky notes. Younger children can draw pictures and write as appropriate. As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following: What is the President trying to tell me? What is the President asking me to do? What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
…
Extension of the Speech: Teachers can extend learning by having students:
Write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals.

And for the record Dems have snorted about Repubs talking to school children...
Funding of Bush Speech Draws Fire; Democrat Calls Education Broadcast Paid Political Advertising'
In fact, the House Majority leader at the time, Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), said "The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students."
It's only ok when the Demorats are the ones doing the B!tchin' ! :down:

How about this for a lesson plan...
Reagan and Bush did not have a socialist's agenda !
BTW..............I have listened to Nobama and I don't like what he's sellin'..............also, I have a huge pair !
Is it hypocritical for the democrats to have complained about Reagan's and Bush's speeches, but not Obama's? Of course it is.There again is living proof of what I have said all long.
Liberals always do what they complain about conservatives doing. When they are in power, its ok to do these things because its a liberal agenda maker, but conservatives are always told to shut up by them.
OH yes, it would be just AWFUL if kids were to read books about Obama and the other Presidents. It's just awful if they were to actually learn something about our country. Listening to what the president, and other elected officals has to say, is the worst possible thing our kids could do.
In case you didn't know: "listen" doesn't necessarily mean "agree".
