Reason 932 to HomeSchool: Kid Won’t Need a Hall Pass for Tuesday

Several of my friends and colleagues have been talking about either keeping their kids home next Tuesday, September 8th, or scheduling them for alternate activity at the school during Obama’s planned indoctrination speech. Michelle Malkin even has a downloadable Hall Pass, which I have hotlinked below:

From HallPassOnThat.Com here:

The Nationwide Tea Party Coalition announces “Hall Pass on That,” the alternative to President Barack Obama’s September 8th address to school children across the nation. The group asks that schools who choose to participate in the president’s September 8th program offer an alternative to students and families who do not wish to view, or have their children view, a partisan address or participate in activities that did not follow proper educational protocol or obtain parental consent.

Personally, I think its kinda neat to have the President address the classrooms, but the problem here is not that the President wants to urge the children to stay in school- its that the teachers and liberal teachers’ unions will use the opportunity to push their radical agenda on the kids- such as socialist slavery (aka volunteerism), eco-religious service, and propaganda on the healthcare debate.

So I would urge all parents to try to use this hallpass to get their kids out of class during the address. If for no other reason, it shows the teachers that parents are deeply concerned about political indoctrination and will not tolerate even the threat of it.
