Public Agenda

I am ashamed.

Of all the debates on what is appropriate for the public school curriculum, we the people, are concerned about a speech by the PRESIDENT of the United States!

What about textbook publishers that WRITE history?
What about foodservice providers determining what our children eat?
and
What about us, the teachers?
My kids are bombarded daily with opinions on global warming, the economy, and health care reform...and this occurs in Gym class!

Below is an excerpt from President Obama's speech.
I did not vote for him.
He is my President and has my FULL support.
