President Obama's Speech On Education

It really saddens me that some parents in this country decided they did not want their children to hear the speech from President Obama today. He challenged all students to take pride and ownership in their education. Our children stand every morning and say the pledge of allegiance to our flag, we have young men and women all over the world defending our freedoms, and some of us refuse to let our children hear an inspirational speech from our President! I could care less if you are republican or democrat, conservative, liberal or independent, our country is in deep trouble when we cannot stand behind our leader when he simply trying to tell our children the importance of respecting the educational institutions, staying in school, and striving to be the best, so our country will continue to be a world leader. It should not matter if you voted for President Obama or not, it is time to put aside difference and support our president for the advancement of this country. People need to search their hearts and minds to find out the underlining reasons for such discontentment. Let's teach our children to love, respect, and serve our nation that the forefathers fought and died for.
