I remember watching it in school. And in the Dare program we had to watch addresses both by Reagan and Bush.he did go national!
Well, not really. Bush hoped it would go national, but there were few schools who broadcast it, let alone required it to be shown to the students.
Funding of Bush Speech Draws Fire; Democrat Calls Education Broadcast `Paid Political Advertising'
The Washington Post | October 3, 1991| Kenneth J. Cooper; Eric Pianin
House Democrats criticized President Bush yesterday for using Education Department funds to produce and broadcast a speech that he made Tuesday at a Northwest Washington junior high school.
The Democratic critics accused Bush of turning government money for education to his own political use, namely, an ongoing effort to inoculate himself against their charges of inattention to domestic issues. The speech at Alice Deal Junior High School, broadcast live on radio and television, urged students to study hard, avoid drugs and turn in troublemakers.
Yes they did. They said it was using government $$$ for political purposes...that is certainly debatable back then AND now.
But did they try to get people to keep their children home from school in fear of being brainwashed?
Did they compare him to Hitler recruiting Hitler Youth? Or the ChiCom?
i see....so all the conservatives have to do is add the complain about $$ and then it is legit.....
fail
the topic was really about using the bullypulpit as a political propaganda machine.....do you really think obama has spent ZERO government dollars on this? give me a fucking break.....
You can critize a President but you don't bring a gun to an event he is speaking at, you don't call for his assasination and you don't talk about getting tags for a President.
Have you ever seen me call him Hitler?
I think you might want to read the part where I said it is alright to critize Obama.
Did you ever see me say I would pull my child out of classroom because he was giving a speech?
or have you ever seen me call him a fascist dictator?
they brought guns outside of a rally in arizone a couple of weeks ago.You can critize a President but you don't bring a gun to an event he is speaking at, you don't call for his assasination and you don't talk about getting tags for a President.
nobody did bring a gun. otherwise they would have been arrested. and I don't know of anybody who called for his assassination or tags? who did that?
Simply amazing. Bush speaks to kids and it is political, Obama speaks to them and it is for the good of the Children.
Remind us Liberals, did Bush have the Department of Education put out talking points of a political nature for the Teachers to get the kids to consider the President and his words in some special way?
the point is we didn't pull our kids out of school when he made his speech.Simply amazing. Bush speaks to kids and it is political, Obama speaks to them and it is for the good of the Children.

I would be fine with an encouraging speech. But lesson plans for the teachers is a bit much. Now I know almost every single liberal to a T on this board refuses to read conservative ideas or watch conservative TV. Now I don't think it's unreasonable for conservative parents to shield their children from radical left ideas either. goose and gander sorta stuff right there.

No, that's not what I meant at all. I am saying that I think it might b a legitimate complaint about government $$$ IF he is making political hay with this speech. So far, that has not happened, but if it does, a legitimate complaint is in order.
fail
Who am I to argue when you recognise your own.

And I didn't say he hadn't. Not even close. Game Over, Try Again.
Sorry, all you who think no one did to Bush what is now being done to Obama is not paying attention:

There are millions of such animations and videos online for Bush, if you think we will leave Obama alone just because you like him, fuck the hell off.
The Koder has spoken!
there is a reason they pulled the Dare program out of the schools here. From someone who went through it, all it did was teach you about drugs that you had no clue existed and how to do them.I remember watching it in school. And in the Dare program we had to watch addresses both by Reagan and Bush.Well, not really. Bush hoped it would go national, but there were few schools who broadcast it, let alone required it to be shown to the students.
Right. There were a few schools who showed it.
I actually think the Dare program has merit. Regardless, as everyone here knows, my kids go to private schools. What happens in the public schools is interesting, but it's not really personal to me.

I don't think anyone here says you should leave Obama alone. I'm sure you can be an adult and stop making silly shit up tho.

The lesson plans distributed to the schools at Government expense across the entire Country are political. And that not the speech is what we are complaining about.

I remember they picked three people to read their essays at our Dare graduation, two of those people I bought pot from in high school. I am not saying you should not educate your children about the dangers of drugs but gimmicks don't work, trust me.
Any time I see a ad against Pot smoking I just laugh and think I have done that and man a bowl would be good right about now.

they are not political, they are on discussing the importance of education.

both of those statements were wrong.they brought guns outside of a rally in arizone a couple of weeks ago.not close enough to do him harm otherwise they would have been arrested.You can critize a President but you don't bring a gun to an event he is speaking at, you don't call for his assasination and you don't talk about getting tags for a President.
nobody did bring a gun. otherwise they would have been arrested. and I don't know of anybody who called for his assassination or tags? who did that?
a governor candidate from Idaho made the comment about the tags after a women in the audience said something, and children from Rexburg Idaho the same town were this candidate was from called for his assasination on the bus to school around the time obama was elected.
