That’s what this is all about. Create a boogey man, and beat him. Really, that’s all the republicans can do right now. He’s going to pull the plug on Grandma! Stop him! He’s lying about raising taxes on Middle class, stop him! He wants to turn your kid into a Socialist, stop him! Obama never was going to do any of these things, but if Republicans can make you believe he was, and he doesn’t, they claim they stopped him when he was never going to do what they say he was going to.

That is indeed the correct response. The contents of my letter do not obviate that at all. I’m not sure why you would interpret a letter expressing the concerns of a member of this school district’s community (and,really, giving the superintendent a clear tickmark in the “not opposed to the President’s speech” column to counteract the other nutjobs… I mean, the others who are nutjobs …. when they write or call in, as a statement about pedagogy. Kinda nuts, really.

way to make yourself look like a nutjob while trying to address the problem of real nutjobs.

The correct response would be to have the kids discuss the good and bad points of the speech in class and at home … so we have a chance for the kids to see where any insanity may be coming from.

so that there’s a chance the children of loons will learn they can think freely and don’t have to get sucked into the insanity themselves.
