Okay, so I don't usually rant and rave about Politics.  I have opinions, but a lot of the time I keep them to myself or share them sparingly.  It's just who I am, and I think that it's mostly because I hate the current state, which I see as mostly finger pointing and name calling and not enough problem solving.  Which usually throws logic and reason out the window. There's been a lot in the media lately about the speech delivered by President Obama this morning to the school children throughout the country.  It's caused quite an uproar, which I think is ridiculous. I completely agreed with my friend Nichole's comments here (and even my own response to her post).  What a great chance to talk to your children and to this schools that opted out.  Your students missed out on a great chance to hear the President of the United States speaking directly to them, the youth of America. You can see the text of his speech here (looks pretty controversial doesn't it?).
