My co-worker has an 11 year old daughter that attends public school. Her class watched the ceremony Tuesday as part of a class project. The teacher then asked them to write a paper on why it was a good thing for America that Obama was elected President?
Does that sound right?
I never said I had no idea about most of the things you said I said I had no idea about.
Sneakers: It sounds like the teacher is wanting the students to talk about the positive aspects they may have heard about Obama at home, reading the paper, watching TV, talking with their peers, etc. Hopefully this young child is not surrounded by Mc Cain supporters
I can see an 11 year old child writing about Obama being a good role model for young children. It seemed that the children, young adults at the inauguration (functions) were mesmerized by him.
It depends on what day he made the promise. He's changed his mind on so many things it's hard to say. And maybe that's why he did that, so he can ask "Aren't I allowed to change my mind?"
Hate him all you (not you in particular unless you do) want but at least you knew where Bush stood.
As an aside; I think Alan Keyes would have made a better president, unfortunately he didn't run. But maybe Obama opened the door for him.
First Amendment rights are like muscles, if you don't exercise them they will atrophy.
So, back during the election, I suppose that you were NOT one of the people who were saying that Obama lacked the experience to be President?
Because, correct me if I' wrong, but I think that your candidate of choice has run for office about a dozen times or so - but never won.
"Talk to the teacher,"... for what? The audacity in presenting a feel-good topic for a writing assignment? R U nutz? It was only THE most positive day for Americans in a really long time. Probably 90% of all earthlings with media access had some sort of positive vibe and wished us well, and you and your friend want to talk to the teacher?
My guess is that the teacher was basically assigning a current event essay. We're happy we have a new President
