5 things you don't want the President to do to your child besides speak to them in school by Tammy Todd


After a nationwide outcry by conservative parents protesting the President speaking to their school children, it turns out to be much-ado-about-nothing.

Some parents were worried that the President was indoctrinating children to be sensitive and responsive to the President of the United States agenda.

Despite the fact, that the past several President's have spoken to school age children the debate was hot. Perhaps, the most unsettling, parents believing that the government was removing them from their child's educational process by inserting a lesson plan that included an assignment, which challenged children to write essays on how they could help the President.

The President removed the lesson plan and the speech took place. Some parents "opted out", keeping their children far away from school and the President. Whatever happened to sitting down with your children and expressing your point-of-view and indoctrinating your kids with your point of view?

I realized that there were probably five or more things that you might not want the President to do to your school children besides speak to them.

5. Take them to the county fair, feed them cotton candy, pink sticky popcorn, those twirly funnel things with powdered sugar, five boxes of licorice, cotton candy, deep-fried oreos and six hot dogs, then put them on the roller coaster.

4. Dress them like Batman, put them on the N train with a tray of churros and a sign that says, "One churro = One world = one dollar".

3. Speak to them.

2. Ask them to be the U.S. Drug Czar.

1. Friend them on Facebook.
