Creationist Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty is joining the bizarre bandwagon of deluded people who think Barack Obama is going to mesmerize their children into becoming commie robots with a 20-minute speech on the first day of school: Pawlenty sides with critics.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty today gave his support to parents and schools wary about showing President Obama’s televised back-to-school address in classrooms next week.

Pawlenty said that showing the address, slated to be telecast at 11 a.m. Central Time on Tuesday, could be disruptive and raises concerns “about the content and the motive,” he said on WCCO radio early this morning. He also said that the speech is “uninvited.”

Some school officials and parents have questioned whether the Obama speech will be appropriately non-political. Minnesota’s two largest school districts are allowing teachers and administrators to decide whether to show the speech in their classrooms.

“At a minimum it’s disruptive, number two, it’s uninvited and number three, if people would like to hear his message they can, on a voluntary basis, go to YouTube or some other source and get it. I don’t think he needs to force it upon the nation’s school children,” Pawlenty said at the State Fair during a brief interview with members of the media.
