My child is old enough now to form his own opinions and we discuss politics at home, so I don’t really have a problem if he heard the speech. If he were younger, I would want to know what the content was before viewing it.
I think the big problem was that assignments were given along with the speech – write a letter to themselves about what they can do to help the president, etc.
Some people just don’t trust Obama.
