and the National Tea Party Coalition have posted a nifty idea: "Operation `“Hall Pass on That.”'
There are effective ways to counter the White House propaganda. The local school district states: "The study guides and objectives provided [by the Department of Education] in advance of the address contain learning activities that compliment elements of the (insert local school district name) Strategic Plan." I find it curious that the text of the address will not be released until the 7th; yet, the school district finds it complimentary to the Strategic Plan. How do they know that if they do not know what will be said?
The Hall Pass suggests: "Request meeting with the school board, superintendent, and principal to inquire as to why parents were excluded from the decision-making process of this event."
The more objections, the more concerns they field, the more reluctant they will be to simply agree with dictates handed down by the White House.
The suggestions are thoughtful:
alternatives there are for the children of families who wish their students learn about the establishment of the country respective to the Founding Father’s intentions. Discussion can focus on the Constitution, the definition and actions of a republic, and the responsibility of elected leaders to their constituents.
The Tea Party suggestion allows parents and local initiatives to take precedence in their area and allows them to enter the classrooms with sound suggestions and Constitutional learning.
