...to get your kids out of public schools: avoiding direct indoctrination attempts by would-be Dear Leaders...

As students listen to the speech, they could think about the following:
- What is the President trying to tell me?
- What is the President asking me to do?
- What new ideas and actions is the President challenging me to think about?
Students can record important parts of the speech where the President is asking them to do something. Students might think about: What specific job is he asking me to do? Is he asking anything of anyone else? Teachers? Principals? Parents? The American people?

Public schools already seem to spend more time on recycling than they do reading. But does anybody else remember a similar Education Department initiative to have the President address all the country's youngsters? Between this, and the recent National Endowment for the Arts efforts to encourage artistic support for policy positions, it seems the entire government is becoming one big propaganda outfit.

“When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community.”
- Adolph Hitler
