Parents have concerns....?

Well, today the president of the United States, the most powerful country in the world made a speech to students all over the country. Almost the whole week before the speech, there was a controversial report about parents being concerned their children may watch the speech . The reason behind it is surprising. I started to question myself, if the strange feeling I am having is because I have little knowledge about America and Americans. I have never heard any previous presidents being opposed for their duty bound encounter with the students. Most of the time the event was not even given attention. The last time we heard president Bush went to speak to students was when the media had to explain where he was during the 911 attack. The reason behind the concern is nothing other than protecting children from socialist and communist indoctrination by the president of the United States. I don't get it; am I missing something? Are American children not made aware of what socialism and communism are? Knowing about historic events and sharing the pros and cons of the experiences will enrich the students' ability to analyze ideological facts and myths. There was no profound fact to back all the allegations. By the way, since when is Barak Obama a communist? Which part of his campaigns were socialist or communist oriented? Was he elected by the majority of Americans only to be awarded the title of a communist or socialist? I don't know what happened in the last eight months, but the choice of words by the critics of the bailout, the stimulus plan, the health care reform and the over all effort to cut deficit and save spending sounds way out of context and strange. Is it not why he was elected to begin with? To curb a working plan to save the country from the emerging catastrophic situations? Let me ask every soul that sharpens his or her tongue to throw words that are uncalled for. What would you do if you were the president who took over an ailing economy not only domestic but also globally?
