Schools refused to air Obama's speech but will bus kids to hear Bush speak live

The Arlington Independent School District, which passed on airing President Barack Obama's live classroom address, has announced that some students will be bussed off campus to hear a message from former President George W. Bush on Sept. 21.

District officials said it's part of a Cowboys Stadium field trip that the North Texas Super Bowl Host Committee invited 28 fifth-grade classes to attend several months ago.

In addition to hearing from Bush and former first lady Laura Bush, the students will hear from legendary Dallas Cowboys players and North Texas business and community leaders. The event launches the Super Bowl committee's largest-ever youth education program.

Students must have their parents' permission to attend, school officials said.

Dwight McKissic Sr., the senior pastor of Arlington's Cornerstone Baptist Church, said he's concerned about the district's decision to not broadcast Obama's message while transporting students to hear a message from Bush.

"I do not understand the duplicity in this situation," McKissic said in a news release from the church. "I believe the students and the public deserve and need to have these differences explained."

I don't think either is a problem given the context of the speech is about kids working their asses off.

Well...considering the kids had to have permission before going on a field trip and Obama's speech was just going to be part of the school day.  I would say that is the main difference right there.  This is once again much ado about nothing; more divide and conquer.

True.  I bet most of the kids will be talking about seeing the former Cowboys instead of Bush.

Because no one really gives two shits about what Bush thinks or wants to talk about.

Same as Dear Leader tonight. 

He is giving this nonsense speech because he can read it off a teleprompter. 

When he has to be asked questions or answer direct questions, he is a complete joke and a flop.

And yet over 7 more years of Obama to go.  Since your party can't cough up a candidate that could win a 4H election at the county fair.

I don't take him for a quitter.  Unlike those on the GOP side.

True that.  He certainly can't quit smoking....

He says he doesn't smoke in front of the family, so that makes it ok I guess.  ;)

I pretty much think that the uproar from the right about Obama's speech to children was a bunch of fear based alarmism.  I don't have any problems with his message. 

However, now that you brought up Obama's smoking, I don't think a president that smokes is qualified to talk to America's children.

I agree with you on both counts.  Although I think the original speech he planned to give was different.  As long as it doesn't have partisan crap in it, I don't care.
