We got permission slips for that video today, I lol'd 

I can't see it being any more than "Remember kids stay in school, get good grades, and go to college, you can be anything you want to be in America"

We can't let our children be thinking they can have a future and change the way things work today. Obama should know better

Then what is he going to "indoctrinate" them with?

The irony here is that a Christian is stating that indoctrination is a bad thing.


also i think the speech is about staying in school and getting good grades allowing america to compete with other countries.

this is a flawed perspective, kind of like placing a band aid on a gunshot wound

The US trails in math and science. Fixing such brings more people into such industries, driving innovation by American companies. That innovation brings jobs and income to the US.

[Veal]

I don't see why it's that weird. Would you let your kids listen to a speech by Fidel Castro, or Karl Marx, or Che Guevara?

[Daddy]

I don't see why it's that weird. Would you let your kids listen to a speech by Fidel Castro, or Karl Marx, or Che Guevara?

Yes.

And are you really comparing Obama to Castro and Guevara?

Marx isn't even in the same category as those two.

[Veal]

And are you really comparing Obama to Castro and Guevara?

No.

[Daddy]

No.

Then what were you trying to argue?

you're not going to fix anything significant by telling people to stay in school and get good grades. maybe it will make statistics more aesthetically pleasing, but that's about it. not when you fail to address the social environment, the family structure and influence, the whole premise and function of the American education system, and the overall attitude and concern of the individual.

American kids are no less genetically inclined to succeed at math, science, writing etc... than Indian or Chinese kids. the problem is in the way they are raised and expected to succeed. and the process which takes them through a bankrupting gauntlet designed to kill the individual and to discourage creativity and ingenuity for the sake of simplicity and convenience.

Then what were you trying to argue?

that we already learn about such assoles and their message in school

[Veal]

Then what were you trying to argue?

I was trying to make a joke but you RUINED IT
