1. Inexcusable behavior from you son's school, teacher, whoever.
You are doing the right thing by taking him out to watch the President's address. I would encourage you to be very vocal about that too.

2. Wouldn't that be quite the statement
if every parent who wanted their child to hear the President speak did just that?!

4. Every Parent should demand to know why THIS President who won by
a landslide is being censored, while two of the last three repug Presidents WERE NOT!

5. Precisely!
I don't have any kids in school but I'll find out tomorrow how my grandkids' school in Portland, Ore is handling it.

3. Ask the school why they are censoring the President of the United States
and ask them if they also censored Reagan and Bush I's speeches.

6. The school will not be paid for your child for that day. ADA is how they survive.
ADA, or Average Daily Dependence, determines their funding.

Lower attendance means less money.

And they should know that.

And I'd support a full walkout of students at any school that chooses not to show the POTUS.

7. You don't have to demand an excuse, you are his parent
you can make that decision.

Hell, if the schools can allow the morans on the right not let their kids go to school if they are showing it, then it should be no problem for those parents that want to do it if they want their kids to see it.

8. If they have ever shown any children any presidential address and not show this
one I would let them know that you would be contacting the ACLU and raising issues about how racist the current policy is at the next school board meeting.
