School that banned Obama speech bussing kids to Bush Speech | Quote: | The Arlington Independent School District in Texas decided not to show President Obama’s address to students live yesterday because it reportedly didn’t want to interrupt its regularly scheduled lesson plans. However, the district has now decided to bus its students off-campus on Sept. 21 to hear President Bush speak:
| Quote: | 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. |
Dwight McKissic, the pastor at the Cornerstone Baptist Church, which offered an alternative venue for Arlington families wishing to listen to the President yesterday, criticized the school district’s “blatant double standard.” “Why is it appropriate for students to hear from former President Bush on Sept. 21 at the Cowboys Stadium, but inappropriate for the current president to address students while they remain on school campuses?” McKissic asked.

Nice try!!! But reading your article it clearly states they will be hearing several guest speakers. Not just the President.

So it's ok to disrupt "normal school schedule" for an event headed by former president Bush, but not ok to show a national televised speech by the current head of state? How does that work, exactly?

Obvious they felt it is more educationally productive to tour the new stadium and here the President speak along with the others than to listen to the "community organizer" bloviate.

You're yanking my chain, right? Even the densest neocon should be able to see the blatant hypocrisy.

Maybe the 30000 outraged tea party turds will move to Texas before Mexico gets 'em.
