Reports continue to pour in from across this nation of embarrassing and despicable behavior with regard to the President’s address to school children tomorrow. Already the Ridgewood school system has decided to throw its support behind the idea that an as-yet-to-be-heard speech is controversial, I presume, much like the Brookfield, WI school system¹. Today we will get the chance to read the actual speech as it will be posted on the White House web site.

The controversy surrounding this speech has nothing to do with the speech of course. It has to do with the unjustified anger of a number of Americans². That anger is both irrational and not based on the facts. While you do not have to agree with Obama, or even like him, attempting to effectively silence the President of the United States through intimidation of schools, school systems, concerned citizens trying to actually help by contributing their ideas at town halls, or otherwise mindlessly and wrongly bullying people is fundamentally not acceptable.

UPDATE: The president’s speech is now online. It is short and sweet – no surprises, no hidden agendas, no code words to turn our children into mindless socialist/Marxist drones following Obama’s every command.

UPDATE 2: Just had to link.

2. And a minority of Americans at that. However, even it it were a majority their actions would still not be justified! President George W. Bush ended his term as the least popular president of all time, but there was no public outcry to silence the man. [↩]
