Boy, it would have given your argument a lot more credence if you decided to actually quote something from the proposed lesson plans.

Here's what it actually says, which isn't even close to what the republican propaganda, and you, has been quoting.

"Write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short‐term and long‐term education goals. Teachers would collect and redistribute these letters at an appropriate later date to enable students to monitor their progress."

Please stop perpetuating misinformation.

To those commenting "That has been taken out of his speech". What I am concerned about is what he will put into his speech. If he can take it out he sure as hell can put it in.

I neither like or trust this character.

It means help the president do good things for the country. Why are you guys so crazy? This is ridiculous!!

If Bush said that in 2003 to promote the war in Iraq you would be first in line to help volunteer.

Hypocritcal much?

Only Republican presideents should be respected?

Serioulsy your hysterical fear from buying just ANYHING Glen Beck spews is very sad. What insurance company are you a schill for?

"ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country"

would you agree to this statement?

Hmm, making a kid think about what's wrong in the small slice of the world they do understand and consider ways to fix the problem. How dare the government try to prepare our children for real world situations!

The letters are redistributed to the students so that they can remember their ideas later and see if they've improved on them or if they still agree with them. Honestly, why does that part in particular bother you so much?

From what I gather, that's been taken out (yippee!)

The wording is creepy.

The President is OUR employee, yet so many forget it.

Write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short‐term and long‐term education goals. Teachers would collect and redistribute these letters at an appropriate later date to enable students to monitor their progress.

You are lying. I copied the above DIRECTLY FROM YOUR LINK. You have willfully changed the wording to manipulate its meaning and the people on Y!A. Why would you need to do that if your stance on this issue is so correct?
