The WH has announced it will release a text of the student speech on Mon. prior to his address on Tues. This is after some schools refused to carry the speech after complaints and threats to keep students home.
IMHO, it’s a sad day when a motivational speech about the importance of a education by a POTUS is vilified.

In my opinion, it’s nice to see that the President is engaging in a little of that transparency he has promised and we have seen so little of.

That’s good. It should quell most of the unfounded complaints. Now new complaints after it is released, well…

And another reason this is good is that it shows us that not everybody on the local level is going to say “how high” to Washington just because they said “jump?”

Shows some balls, that’s good.
