Apparently, Our Beloved Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, the most merciful, Lion of the Masses, Protector of the Common Man and Omnipotent Parental Figure, will give an address on September 8 to America's school children. The audience will be all children, preK-12. In protest of the forced ObamaTV viewing in classrooms across the nation everyone is encouraged to participate in a National Skip Day and keep your kids home. Take the opportunity to teach your kids true life lessons and not subject them to Obama propaganda. Maybe even use the day to make protest posters for the 912 March on DC!!

The U.S. Department of Education, apparently with the expanded role of overtly propagandizing America's youngsters, has thoughtfully prepared "learning materials" for teachers to use in preparation for this historic and truly unprecedented event. They have been very thorough, preparing "Classroom Materials" in two separate packages, one directed at children "preK-6" the other of students in grades "7-12." Note: "preK-6" implies that the Dear Beloved Leader anticipates his message being broadcast to pre-kindergarten children.


Below is the announcement from the U.S. Dept of Education. Beneath that is a suggested written excuse of absence for your child to take to school the following day and a link if you would like to download it.


Letter From Secretary Arne Duncan to School Principals

August 26, 2009
Please note that the time of this speech has changed to 12:00 noon eastern standard time.

Dear Principal:
In a recent interview with student reporter, Damon Weaver, President Obama announced that on September 8 — the first day of school for many children across America — he will deliver a national address directly to students on the importance of education. The President will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning. He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives as American citizens.
Since taking office, the President has repeatedly focused on education, even as the country faces two wars, the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and major challenges on issues like energy and health care. The President believes that education is a critical part of building a new foundation for the American economy. Educated people are more active civically and better informed on issues affecting their lives, their families and their futures.
This is the first time an American president has spoken directly to the nation's school children about persisting and succeeding in school. We encourage you to use this historic moment to help your students get focused and begin the school year strong. I encourage you, your teachers, and students to join me in watching the President deliver this address on Tuesday, September 8, 2009. It will be broadcast live on the White House website http://www.whitehouse.gov 12:00 noon eastern standard time.
In advance of this address, we would like to share the following resources: a menu of classroom activities for students in grades preK-6 and for students in grades 7-12. These are ideas developed by and for teachers to help engage students and stimulate discussion on the importance of education in their lives. We are also staging a student video contest on education. Details of the video contest will be available on our website http://www.ed.gov in the coming weeks.
On behalf of all Americans, I want to thank our educators who do society's most important work by preparing our children for work and for life. No other task is more critical to our economic future and our social progress. I look forward to working with you in the months and years ahead to continue improving the quality of public education we provide all of our children.
Sincerely,
 
Arne Duncan



Absence Excuse Suggestion:

To Whom it May Concern:

When it comes to teaching my child about personal responsibility and life goals, I have determined that I am a far better teacher of those objectives than a President who has chosen to surround himself with known anarchists and terrorists.

Therefore, <insert child's name> will be at home on Sept 8th in order not to be corrupted by the propaganda that will be shown in his class room.


Respectfully Yours,

Great Quotes, Nana!

Some folks are also using the P.A.S.S. day to make signs for the March on DC Rally.

Another suggestion is to use P.A.S.S. day as a Take Your Kids to Work Day.... since conservatives do typically have jobs ;)

Any other suggestions? Post them!

Have a talk with your kids while you're working on posters about the importance of questioning, especially what does not seem right to them. They should never be afraid to speak their minds no matter what everyone else around them think. Beat Obama at his own game.

Fortunatly I go to a private school so I dont HAVE to watch this. Although, my government class may just because.
My idea would be to have your child read the constitution and tell them the importance of having their own opinion and not just hearing something the President says and taking it at his word. Also don't be afraid to speak your mind, we have a right to speak our mind no matter what people may say about you. As a teen I know the pressures of "fitting in" or whatever and being a conservative isn't very cool or being against obama isn't either, but you can't be afraid to say what you believe.
