On Tuesday, September 8th at 11 AM (8/11), Barack Obama will be taking the teevees of our nation’s classrooms by force for what can only be described as purposes of communism. Most of America’s Good Parents have already said they would not be sending their school-aged children to school on this day, but Texas school districts will be taking NO CHANCES and are stepping in to ensure that whatever suck-up nerd retards bother to show up anyway will not be seeing that speech.
Instead, North Texas school districts will be recording Obama’s message and letting the “individual teachers” (parents and superintendents) decide whether or not to show it at some later date.
Districts in North Texas have received complaints about the speech, and most are not broadcasting it to their students.
“There appears to be a curriculum associated with the speech,” said Fred Moses, chairman of the Collin County Republican Party.
Parent Bobby Lochner said he wouldn’t mind his children hearing a speech on education — if that’s all the message is.
“On the surface, and if it’s kept to at that — as just talking to the American people and the importance of education — obviously that is very important,” he said.
Many districts are making Obama’s speech available, but are not requiring students to watch it.
By BANNING this video from children, parents and schools have in effect established the President’s short speech about the importance of goal-making as the coolest shit ever, ever, ever, at least since the South Park movie. Kids will be watching this thing at sleepovers after the parents go to bed for the next decade.
David Axlerod is a genius.

At some point I wonder whether Republican spokesdimwits have the brain power to involuntarily control their heartbeat, much less speechify.
It’s not Ronnie Raygun did that… oh wait he did.
turn on, tune in, drop out
Texas schools are also banning science and common sense on carrying guns.
Playing the Obama recording backwards will reveal the secret message: “Ron Paul Is Dead.”
Pure racism, and that is it.
I propose a secession rally. Who’s up for encouraging Texas to secede?
let’s hear it for the morans!
Fred Moses, the GOP chairman for Collin County quoted in that article?
Here he is: http://www.collincountyconservativerepublicans.com/26.jpg
Don’t be a fool, stay in school.
[re=402848]memzilla[/re]:
Heh.
I actually admire the idea that kids should be skeptical about what the president says, but what’s pathetic is how if this same thing would have been pulled by liberals one year into the Bush presidency, the same conservatards would have gone apeshit and thrown a national lynching party
the last thing this country, and especially the texican part of it, can tolerate is an intelligent, well-spoken president encouraging students to stay in school, work hard, and take responsibility. that’s islamic fascist kenyan socialism, pure and simple, and there’s no place for it in murky.
[re=402851]badmuthagoose[/re]: Fred Moses, MC Steele’s only supporter in the republican party, and graduate of Clown College.
Texas has schools?
It’s disheartening to see folks trying to imprint their batshit attitudes on younger generations, like banning evolution from school textbooks. However, kids are smart; they will hear about the upcoming speech anyway, and possibly try to view it online afterwards out of curiosity.
As for the teabagging/bithering/death-empaneling adults, I figure they have a high percentage of anti-Darwinists, and that the best approach is let Darwinism run its course with them.
Once again, embarrassed that this is my home state. My child’s school district actually offered an apology to parents who don’t want their children to see Obama’s muslin agenda speech. If Texas secedes, please let me come live with one of you.
Why can’t the, ahem, Great State of Texas put us all out of it’s misery and just get it over with. C’mon, secede already! You know you want to!
In a letter last week to the nation’s school principal, Education Secretary Arne Duncan said the speech would challenge students to work hard, set educational goals and take responsibility for their learning.
Gov. Rick Perry called the [sic] Obama’s plan for the speech “disturbing”…
Do they make you pay for your own lobotomy in Texas, or is that covered under National Healthcare?
Wonder how far we could get a sturdy fence around Texas before they notice they’ve been evicted.
They’re all talk. If I were a superintendent, I’d show the damn thing anyway. You know why? Nothing would happen. They won’t keep their kids home that day. Their kids won’t turn black from hearing it. Or gay. Nothing will happen.
But some of these school district powers that be are total pussies.
My former school district is one of those not showing the video. The letter home to parents kindly explained that they were declining to broadcast the message because it would be a disruption of class time, and besides, many children will be at lunch or in PE at the time, so it’s not like they would have seen it anyway!
And I admire their consistency, because the district also never disrupted class time, pulled kids out of PE or reshuffled the lunch schedule so we could listen to a speaker describe the benefits of abstaining until marriage.
If you took all the people that hate Obama and subtracted the fat white folks, You’ wouldn’t have enough people to fill an Applebee’s.
[re=402870]bored with gravity[/re]: Long as you don’t mind living with us Californicators. But we’ll promise to be gentle, at least the first time!
This Obama speech had better be good.
Oh, shit. I didn’t mean to say “never,” and I somehow mistyped “chicken-shit hypocrisy” as “consistency.” Damn these sticky keyboards!
Have you seen what Texas tries to do with text books? How is this a shock.
Whatever, keep the kids at home. But when the schools take the fiscal hit for lack of attendance, don’t go sending your sugar fried sugar balls to me, thanks.
http://marmel.com/2009/09/fine-keep-your-kid-home-during-the-presidents-speech-who-cares/
Those parents are rightly concerned that Obama’s speech will indoctrinate their l’il darlings into socialism. Because everyone knows that staying in school and becoming educated leads directly to becoming a socialist.
[re=402870]bored with gravity[/re]: you can come here, we’re next door in NM
Boo…wonkette missed the top story…

[re=402864]slappypaddy[/re]: You forgot “black.”
Watching the president on TV talk about staying in school = indoctrination
Coerced daily recitation of an oath of fealty to a national symbol, with reference to the state sanctioned deity = unquestionable patriotic celebration of FREEDOM(tm)
Is the guide like this one from the Bush era?
http://georgewbush-whitehouse.archives.gov/kids/guide/
You know what would be cool? If Barry’s speech was 18 seconds long and said “Good morning, students and teachers across this great nation. I want to encourage all of you to work hard in school so you can get a good job and help yourselves as well as our country succeed and prosper. Thank you and God Bless America.” If it was short enough, it could run on every newscast on every TV channel for the next month and those who got all wee-wee’d up would look like the assholes they are to the remaining 75% of the population.
Awesome! Who knew we’d live to see the Darwin Awards as the lead feature on the front page, every day!
[re=402863]Way Cool Larry[/re]: Clearly:
1) Publicly stating that you’re embarrassed that GWB is our preznit = NOT OKAY(and possibly public-lynching-worthy)
2) Publicly stating cocnerns that Hopey will spread his socialist muslin message to our schoolchildren = ULTIMATE PATRIOTISM
Maybe if he tells the kids to have lots and lots of babies the righties will stop breeding?
School should be for those who can afford it. The Goyim need not be educated.
I wonder how many of the parents protecting their children from indoctrination will be taking them to church on Sunday.
[re=402883]Marmel[/re]: Advisory: The BanHammer will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to blog whore and destroy my brothers.
i had to do stupid shit when in a texas high school. what the fuck is this? the magic brown unicorn wants to talk and now they make it “optional”?
…and then we’re going to play rock music backwards, and listen for Satanic messages!
Fight indoctrination through censorship. It’s the American way!
No seriously, these fucktards are censoring the President of the United States and think they are doing the right thing. They have completely flipped out.
I heard obama says a cuss in the speach and thats why we cant watch it. teachers suck!!!
This president is smart. He knows how to address white, Texan school kids: “Study hard to be on ‘American Idol’ and when you graduate we will reward you with a gun and a Bible.”
[re=402878]Scarab[/re]: FYI, I’m old fat white, admire and respect our President, and had lunch at Applebee’s yesterday! Try the hand battered fish and chips, delighful.
A few years ago in my nephews school in an unnamed Northern California town; the principal was awarding a student with a national award. When he mentioned President GWB the whole audience booed. The children were then subjected to a lecture as to why that was not nice. My point? I don’t have one.
Lets not forget for a second, Texas also gave us Wacco and the good christian David …
The people protesting the Obama speech are the same mindless knuckle walkers who want to teach kids creationism as science, that Jesus loved America, and that an old geezer named Noah built a big boat and took the zoo animals on a Disney cruise.
[re=402868]give us a bob[/re]: Um, did you see Idiocracy?
I love that the conservatards are getting so panicky that there is a curriculum attached to this speech.
When I was a kid, they’d show us fire-safety film strip (or later, a 16mm film) featuring Smokey the Bear, then give us a Smokey ruler and pencil, a Smokey fire safety coloring book and word-search puzzle and have a class discussion on how we can make our homes campsites more fire safe. We got a nifty little plastic “Junior Ranger” badge if we finished it all.
RUN AWAY! IT’S A CURRICULUM.
You go North Texas! Please. Anywhere.
This is why we teach our children about Stranger Danger. You should not let black men speak to you even if they are on the teevee and offer you candy and/or healthcare
If the speech is illegal, all the kids will want to smoke some
[re=402870]bored with gravity[/re]: Come live with me in Connecticut. You’ll have to get gay married, though. We made it a law.
No, really. Isn’t there something in the Constitution that allows the rest of the states to dump Texas?
“Playing the Obama recording backwards will reveal the secret message: “Ron Paul Is Dead.””
*This* is the power of the internet. Well played, sir, well played.
“Do well in school. Or just learn to say, ‘On the ground, hands where I can see ‘em!’ in Pashto. It’s all the same to me.”
Know what Barry should do? He should show the schools in Texas a clip of President Camacho from “Idiocracy” instead, guns blazing, the whole nine yards. He could turn Texas blue.
If I was a superintendent of schools, I would probably be canceling schools on Tuesday because it might snow and I don’t want to get sued.
What’s the big deal? Just show them the speech on a teleprompter.
Lesson plan:
(1) Write a paper on how you can help President Obama pas Health Care Reform.
(2) Discuss whether basketball should be made mandatory even for white people.
(2) Write a paper on how best to round up Republicans and place them in concentration camps in west Texas.
(3) Discuss whether white women have more orgasms having sex with black men because the latter have enormous dongs and the former like it rough.
(4) Discuss whether heroin helps keep you thin.
Perhaps CBN could get W. to do counter programming and he could give his speech at the same time? Or Palin could give the official editorial response under equal time consideration? Don’t be a quitter Texas.
The far right is out to get Obama on anything he does and to divide this Country.Time to shine a light on these extremists.There is a related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?page_id=588
Yeah Texas – that’s your problem, too much school.
Maybe I shouldn’t talk. Columbus’
Bluth built enclavesnouveau riche suburbs, Dublin and Hilliard, are pulling their young Republicans.You know, if every black running back in the Texas schools just said they wouldn’t play unless the speech were shown, I suspect the problem would be solver rather quickly.
[re=402951]PrairiePossum[/re]: Jesus loved America
He loved it so much he left it the f*ck alone and never even mentioned it. The natives remained grateful for this 1500 more years. Then the Ligurians sent out the Anti-Christ and the rest is history.
(Yeah, I’m skipping over the Norse here. But the did the honorable thing and Seppukued themselves and their cows, so they are forgiven.)
[re=402883]Marmel[/re]: Yea Verily Cometh Teh Banhammer! I mean, you are trying to be funny, which is admirable, but nobody else comes here to read your posts.
Someone needs to introduce these people to a Jokari Window, stat.
[re=402988]BwanaJim[/re]: GOD I love that response. I love it so much. Having just watched a high school football game last night and going to another tonight (in a suburb of Dallas, no less), I completely agree. (And by the way, when did we start growing 14 and 15 year olds THAT BIG?)
They would do anything those high school football players wanted them to do, because God forbid you fuck with football.
[re=402895]liquiddaddy[/re]: Surely you jest. The term ‘black’ would never enter into the discourse from this vaunted region of our great nation. ‘Porch Monkey’, perhaps, but nothing racial.
…What?
Barry should just take this opportunity given to him by the Wingtards to talk directly to the kids that are allowed to see him in school, and be all “END THE WAR, HEALTH CARE FOR ALL, LEGALIZE DON’T CRITICIZE, A SALAAM ALAIKUM,” you know, amp it to 11, since the only kids that’ll be watching are the Muslins and Atheist’s kids, anyway.
[re=402989]Darkness[/re]:
The way I understand it, Jesus didn’t go to heaven after he died. Instead, he hopped on the back of a giant dinosaur who swam across the Atlantic. He landed in New Jersey. He had a Thanksgiving dinner with his new brown people friends. He phoned up Christopher Columbus and the pilgrims and told them to join him in his new happy place with his new brown people friends. Jesus wrote the Book of Mormon and was an unnamed consultant/ghost writer on the Declaration of Independent and U.S. Constitution.
[re=403013]PrairiePossum[/re]: I’ll believe that only if I see the gold plated pictures that can only be interpreted through the use a special stone that I put in my hat and then bury my face in that hat… oh, wait..
They can just record the speech and edit out the parts where he says ‘God damn America’ and praises killing the oldsters. And, for balance, follow it with a video of Glenn Beck crying.
Now, to be fair to those just trying to protect their children, you must remember that one town hall where Obama opened with, “‘Scuse me while I whip this out.”
[re=403013]PrairiePossum[/re]: That would explain the clause, “Among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but not universal healthcare.”
[re=402845]Scarab[/re]: Sounds like Texas schools are banning education.
[re=403020]Darkness[/re]:
If Obama gives his speech while looking into his hat and begins with speech, “Hey boys and girls, I was staring into my hat, saw a rock and Jesus said for me to spread the good word,” then northern Texas will let the kids watch the speech on TV.
“On the surface, and if it’s kept to at that — as just talking to the American people and the importance of education — obviously that is very important,” because children need to know about Jesus riding dinosaurs and the Communist art at Rockefeller Center.
[re=402870]bored with gravity[/re]: “If Texas secedes, please let me come live with one of you.” You are more than welcome to live with me provided you are willing to help getting Arizona to secede, also. And then we can both move to Oklahoma and work our magic there.
BwanaJim:
As a Texan, let me applaud that solution. The idea makes me giddy.
[re=403052]proudgrampa[/re]: they don’t have to ban what they’ve never had (i’se a texican schools vet).
Libtards….when little Tommy comes back on Tuesday night, he’s gonna be telling you:
“Barry Obama is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I’ve ever known in my life”
You’ve been warned you Soshulist Kuminist Muslin Terrists.
Well, that’s just rude. When both Republican and Democrat presidents have been allowed to do this for gosh knows how many years, it just seems like a matter of common courtesy that they should extend the same indulgence to any president of America who wants to do it. That is, unless the president happens to be a dirty negr-SOCIALIST! MUSLIN! TEAR-IST!!! WE MUST PROTECT TEH CHILLUNS!!!1!!one!!1 etc.
aM wilfully, blissfully ignunt ’bout everthin Texass, ‘ceptin i bin told teh reazun y the winds is so gawdawful up here in Okiehoma iz cuz Texass sux so bad which could explain whuy no boddies up here ain’t gotz enuff oxygens to think. gotto go now cuz mommie sez I gotz to lern ’bout sum nashunul gyro dat da commiez killed named macarthy and then itz reesess tyme to shoot darky tarrgutz wid my AK for a coupla howers ‘fore suppper.
Oh yeah, this is exactly like the time my mother wouldn’t let me read the Weekly Reader because some young upstart Calflick dude was tryin’ to steal the preznitcy from god’s own ‘publican candidate Dick Nixon, or some such.
No, actually it was nothing like that.
I would laugh, but the same shit is going on up here in Minnesota too. What the hell, aren’t we a blue state?
Well, yea. Texas is part of America’s “Racist Inbred Crescent”, as seen clearly on this map:

[re=402981]hiphophitler[/re]: Greatness & hilarity. Thanks for the much-needed copious laughter.
The White House will release the text of Obama’s remarks on Monday so they can be checked for socialist or fascist or communist phrases.
Good lord – it’s the freaking President. Show some respect and watch the damned thing.
NPR just interviewed a parent from the Mesquite, Texas school. She’s afraid Obama may sent ‘subliminal’ messages to the children regardless of what the text says.
Q: Why does Texas rank last in high school graduation rates, 47th of 50 in terms of SAT (scholastic assessment test) scores, and tops in the number of children who had to retake kindergarten?
A: Cuz we got gubmit out our pubic skoolz.
Texas is much like communist red state china.They encourage immigrant workers, from protectorates to the south,to work tedious dangerous jobs in their farm factories with little or no pay.As the workers seek better jobs in the gleaming but dusty cities,social unrest erupts between them and the elitist decendants of old wildcatter families.Many end up on death row.Texas like China attempts to stem the flow of outside information via the internet and other electronic media.We must make sure Texans stay in Texas or they might move to Minnesota and that my freinds could be the end of days.
At this point, if I were Obama, I’d go out there I’d just read selected quotes of Malcolm X and then end the whole thing by saying “asalaam alaykum motherfuckers” just as one giant F.U.
[re=403346]Trigvhe from Texas[/re]: And mostly they home school. Also. ‘Cause you don’t have to read that Darwin crap that way. It’s tough though, ’cause the second most important thing in Texas (other than Texan’s egos) is High School football. Which is another reason to be concerned about national health care…I don’t know why! Some idiot from Texas told me that (no, really).
[re=403405]masterdebater[/re]: Reason #552 on why Texas should secede- so that the Dallas Cowboys will no longer be deemed as The Team of the country for which I live in.
It depends on where you live in Texas. My daughter goes to a suburban school on the North Side of Houston. The day after Obama won, they pretty much cancelled classes and celebrated all day.I guess she doesn’t go to a patriotic school, like these teabagging fucktards, who want to ban the president.
[re=402852]Bypartizoa[/re]: Everybody loves a Mr. T. reference. Thank you.
Wouldn’t it be cool if someone organized a movement to get one kid in everyone of the schools in these districts to stand up in class and ask the teacher “can we see the Obama video? and/or “wh aren’t we seeing the Obama video” and taping the shit replies for the world to see? Using children? Hell yeah.
In Richardson, TX , just north of Dallas, my 7 year old grandson went home with an opt-in waiver requiring a parent signature, before allowing him to watch it.
NOT watching the President’s address is the fucking DEFAULT option here in Texas.
Now my grandson will be conspicuously separated from his classmates and shuffled off to the Mohawk Elementary free speech zone. I’ve decided to take the day off and accompany him. I’m anxious to see how the school officials handle it. My wife has already packed my angry eyes but I’m a little conflicted about packing heat. Should I go with just a sidearm, a simple shoulder slung flamethrower or both? This one sickens me.
Boogey boogey!
That’s what this is all about. Create a boogey man, and beat him. Really, that’s all the Republicans can do right now. He’s going to pull the plug on Grandma! Stop him! He’s lying about raising taxes on Middle class, stop him! He wants to turn your kid into a Socialist, stop him! Obama never was going to do any of these things, but if Republicans can make you believe he was, and he doesn’t, they claim they stopped him when he was never going to do what they say he was going to.
