Obama To Address All Public School Students
By Carole on Sep 2, 2009
When I read that on September 8 President Barack Obama would be addressing all PreK-12 students via televisions in all public schools across the nation, I thought this had to be one of those far-right fringe, conspiracy theorist rumors that couldn't possibly be true. Unfortunately, I was wrong. A letter from Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to School Principals about the event is clearly posted on the US Department of Education website outlining details of the speech and providing resources for discussing it afterwards and engaging students in follow-up activities. Example: Students could discuss their responses to questions such as "What do you think the President wants us to do?" (source)
