That's an idea

John Cole,

If all the wingnuts are pulling their kids out of school because the President is going to speak for fifteen minutes, can we teach evolution the rest of the day?


On the local ABC affiliate they interviewed a mother from Douglas County who was literally in tears at the prospect of the president giving a stay-in-school speech and her daughters over-hearing it. When they asked what she was afraid that they might hear she responded, "socialism."

I say if the mother is so worried about socialism she should pull her kids out of PUBLIC schools.

update: I see the Rude Pundit has a pretty good take, as usual.

NO shit. I cannot believe the stupidity of these people. Apparently the president telling kids "Work hard, get good grades, make something of yourself" is unamerican these days.

She should really go back in time to Soviet Russia to see what socialism actually looked like.
