Too bad they had to tone down the lead in......
It seems President Obama's speech to school children was supposed to be the lead in for this television event that aired on multiple cable channels tonight:
The White House may have toned down the speech, but revolutionary and radical fingerprints are all over this part of the campaign. I agree with what Michelle Malkin has to say about this:
[this] All sounds innocuous, just like Obama's speech today.But the supporting website has the same activist, entitlement culture-nurturing bent of the White House education guides: "I want, I want, I want."
How about "I WANT TO MASTER CORE ACADEMIC SUBJECTS?"
As I've pointed out repeatedly over the last week, Obama/Ayers/Klonsky and company are not interested in imparting knowledge. They are interested in creating "social justice" activists.
Accordingly, Get Schooled features a "student bill of rights." (Hey, how about just learning the original Bill of Rights?)
If American school kids are such dolts, why does this campaign call upon them to "School the Government," "Make Demands of their Governors," and "track every dollar of the $100 billion in education stimulus spending" (a feat Joe Biden, the CBO and OMB can't even do)?

Perhaps the most grating of modern tropes is, "You have the right" to whatever the demand du jour is. Perhaps a decade or so ago I realized the linguistic sleight-of-hand of the left in making "right" and "demand" synonymous.
Tell people what you want them to do, and couch it in terms of their "rights"--it's Pavlovian.
I actually had a jackass call me at work to tell me that I had the right to shop for the lowest energy rates. No S*** Sherlock.
I hope his ear is still hurting from the sonic boom of me hanging up on him.
