This story has now emerged in the mainstream media. Predictably, it is being presented as a bunch of knuckle-dragging morons attempting to use their children as hapless political tools in their battle against paranoid delusions that no tinfoil helmet can possibly subdue.

And in this instance, the mainstream media is absolutely, 100% correct.

I’d go even further and note a strain of racism running through such arguments as well. Presidents and other politicians have spent enormous amounts of time visiting elementary, middle and high schools in the past, without comment. Suggest letting a Negro President speak to the nation’s schoolchildren even for a few minutes, though, and the shrieking rises to a crescendo.

I’m sickened and disgusted by this manufactured outrage. What the fuck is wrong with you people?
