Obama to Address School Children Tomorrow

It looks like this is becoming and annual thing. The controversy surrounding his speech last year caused him to scrub it of problematic wording. It seems unlikely that this speech was not scrubbed as well for anything parents may find objectionable.

"This year's speech will take place on September 14, the White House said. It will be broadcast in schools and online nationwide, according to the statement.

Some of the controversy over Obama's speech last year involved a proposed lesson plan created by the Education Department to accompany the address. An initial version of the plan recommended students draft letters to themselves discussing "what they can do to help the president."

The letters "would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals," the plan said.

After the criticism from conservatives, the White House distributed a revised version encouraging students to write letters about how they can "achieve their short-term and long-term education goals.""
