Congratulations to all of you parents who took a stand, exercised your rights in a free society and kept your kids from hearing the president's back-to-school address.
Goodness knows you wouldn't want your little Johnny or Janey indoctrinated with such radical ideas as taking responsibility for their own lives.
How dare the president presume to tell your children to pay attention to their teachers, listen to their parents and grandparents and "put in the hard work it takes to succeed?" Who is he to suggest that "when you give up on yourself you give up on your country?" Geez, if kids believed that sort of drivel, they'd never be able to blame the rest of the world for their failures.
With your superior wisdom and fine parenting you've instead taught your children other valuable lessons, like intolerance. Sure, the United States is a democracy, but that doesn't mean we have to listen to people we don't agree with.
And that goes for the president especially. We're Americans -- we haven't respected a president since George Washington. Unless we voted for him, of course. So good for you for teaching your child to tune out the president until one you like comes along.
Johnny also learned that school is optional if you don't like the lesson, or the lesson-giver. Maybe you should just keep him out of school altogether so you can teach him that man didn't really land on the moon, 9/11 was a government conspiracy and President Obama's birth certificate is phony.
You don't want your children going to a school that allows the president to fill their heads with dangerous messages like this: "Every single one of you has something that you're good at. Every single one of you has something to offer."
It's enough to make them think they could grow up to be president.
