He was filling them with thoughts like "Stay in school- don't give up-education is important- you can be anything you choose to be".<br /><br />These are clearly socialist left wing ideas that we DO NOT want our children hearing. I for one am glad my kids are already grown so those harmful words can't influence them.<br /><br />Admit that you were wrong Diane- just admit it. Obama is trying to brainwash the children.

Bush and Bush Jr addressed school children this way, as did Reagan. It's a slippery slope when we start indoctrinating kids into the "don't respect the presidential office" camp.
