Obama “Indoctrinating” Kids?

On September 8, Obama’s all set to give a back-to-school speech to American students, in which he will encourage them to study hard, set goals, and take responsibility for their own education. Sounds pretty innocuous, right? Wrong! That is, according to Republican Party of Florida Chairman Jim Greer, who “as the father of four children,” is “absolutely appalled that taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama’s socialist ideology.”

I won’t spoil the rest of the press release for you, but suffice it to say that the phrase “Christmas Parties are now Holiday Parties” is invoked.

Via Politico.
