Obama's plan for a television speech to the nation's school children has many parents in an uproar. The Education Department wanted kids to write a letter about how they could help the president's program. Parents want to know what he's going to say in advance. The word "indoctrinate" has been used. The speech is scheduled for next Tuesday, September 8. Some kids will have the "Constitutional flu."

UPDATE: The ADG this morning said that the Cabot School District will not broadcast the speech. In Little Rock, school will leave the decision to principals or teachers. School districts have received numerous calls from parents.

In 1991, according to the paper, George H. W. Bush made a similar speech and Democrats objected to it as a campaign commercial.
