Regarding the Obama School speech coming up. Our local schoold district was the subject of some news a year about when a Muslim student was beat up and the local CAIR group asked and was granted by a Jr High principal to come in and give a talk about Muslim beliefs. This was upsetting to the community and a local backlash occurred. However the school board created a new district rule that NO ONE who was not a paid employee of the district was allowed to teach or disseminate information without it being pre-approved by the administration. The upcoming Obama speech in fact falls under that rule so the district simply informed parents that they would not consider using the speech until after they had reviewed it PER DISTRICT POLICY…nice a neat solution.

So, have you gotten rid of all those nasty, heathen textbooks written by non-district employees? How about all the other audio-video material presented during classes - been through all that to ensure that every person appearing and every narrator is a district employee, and purged anything that violates your policy?

What bullshit.
