The paid progenitors of political punditry have told you about President Obama’s upcoming speech on Sept. 9 but have, thus far, not seen fit to mention his speech on Sept. 8.

On that day at noon (Eastern time), Obama will address Pre-K through 12th grade students (what Rush Limbaugh lovingly refers to as “skulls full of mush”) in the nation’s public classrooms.

If you have children who are potential members of that captive audience, check out the information available at the Department of Education website. I’ve provided the cached information here. (Note that the time has changed since this was originally posted.)

The presentation will be streamed live at www.whitehouse.gov/live/. You might want to watch it yourself so you’ll be prepared to deprogram your children at home if necessary.
