Arlington, TX school district did not show Obama speech; will bus students to George W. Bush speech on 9/21
Some Arlington parents who would have liked their children to see President Barack Obama’s address live today are upset with plans the district has to send about 500 students to a Sept. 21 event where former President George W. Bush will speak.Some have suggested a double-standard.Uh, ya think?These are the same people screaming about how politics don’t belong in schools when the current president gives an innocuous speech about working hard and staying in school. Apparently politics have no place in schools unless they are in idealogical alignment with your own, then it’s ok to bus the kids out to see a speech. These are of course the same people that used to scream about how you have to respect the office no matter who is in it. We’ve seen how that’s worked out.
Double standards are fun.
