Obama's indoctrination

Controversy erupted over Obama's big address to America's youth today -- with many parents pulling their kids out of school.

Calling for students to, among other things, write letters to themselves asking how they could help the President achieve his goals. Previous Presidents have given similar speeches, but those Presidents didn't then try and turn students into a bunch of little community organizers. Ref. Source 7
