School Systems Closing the Video Door on the President

Kudos to the Walton County School System in Georgia. They have decided, along with numerous states, not to show the President's address to students. Their reason is a good one: his address does not fit with their current curriculum schedule nor requirements.

Part of the larger problem is that they were receiving numerous calls from parents who said their kids would stay home if the address was shown.

Thanks to the one department in our nation that absolutely needs to be abolished (along with the IRS) - the U.S. Department of Education. They are now being blamed for ruining the what may have been a neat address from the president - especially if this speech was going to encourage kids to stay in school and make the most of their education.

Of course, the big problem with our outspoken president is that he does not seem to ever stop talking long enough to listen. Great speech giver but poor listening skills.
