Now I've given a lot of speeches about education. And I've talked a lot about responsibility.

Respnsibility is a code word for: redistribute income.

I've talked about your teachers' responsibility for inspiring you, and pushing you to learn.

He's threatening to physically assault children here.

You'll need the knowledge and problem-solving skills you learn in science and math to cure diseases like cancer and AIDS, and to develop new energy technologies and protect our environment. You'll need the insights and critical thinking skills you gain in history and social studies to fight poverty and homelessness, crime and discrimination, and make our nation more fair and more free. You'll need the creativity and ingenuity you develop in all your classes to build new companies that will create new jobs and boost our economy.

My head exploded. Cancer AND AIDS? in the same sentence? AIDS is a disease of choice. And it's a code word for sex ed. And it's not appropriate for the president to mention this. "Critical thinking" skills. That's like critical race theory, right? Question authority? Be a post-modernist who doesn't believe in truth? And what's with these goals: Obama is commanding our children to fight liberal pathologies like poverty and homelesness and crime and -- even discrimination -- he wants our kids to learn skills so they can go up and and discriminate against white men -- and I bet the communists will object to Obama's contention that education ought to be harnessed to economic growth, too.

I get it. I know what that's like. My father left my family when I was two years old, and I was raised by a single mother who struggled at times to pay the bills and wasn't always able to give us things the other kids had. There were times when I missed having a father in my life. There were times when I was lonely and felt like I didn't fit in.

Where were you born, sir?

That's scary talk to morans, they can't follow that.

Critical thinking, that's like Russian to them!
