*This past week, critics threatened legal action when President Barack Obama announced he is planning an address to school children that could be picked up on line for those who wanted to see it. The "concerned citizens" argued that the situation would not allow for open debate and presented "a chance for the current administration to brainwash our kids about current policies" when in fact, the speech was only in regards to the merits of a good education and the benefits of staying in school. To placify the critics, the text of that speech, that will be made Tuesday, September 8th, is posted on line at http://www.whitehouse.gov/
Makes one wonder about the education of the critics, doesn't it?
