I try pretty darn hard to see the other side of things, even when I don't want to, to acknowledge there is more than one legitimate way to view the world. But I'm having an extremely -- extremely -- hard time seeing any legitimacy in the words of those who say they don't want President Obama to speak to school kids via the Internet, as presidents before him did through television sets. (We all remember the morning of Sept. 11 when President Bush was reading to school kids in school.) Pardon my expression, but why should I not simply call this one of the dumbest controversies of the Obama era?
Update: The White House is amending some of its recommendationsfor school discussions after this faux controversy. This is truly amazing.
