I read it and I think President Obama’s speech is just fine. And we will see just how unpolitical this sort of event really is when a Republican President gets the opportunity to do the same someday in the future and the teachers and schools all go along with it. But we won’t really know till then. I do think that if GWB had proposed the exact speech last year to schoolchildren across America he would have been laughed out of the room and the idea roundly dismissed. Maybe the AFT and NEA will give the next GOP President the chance, but color me skeptical.
