According to the CNN article, the point in question was Obama's lesson plan for the teachers,

Some of the controversy over Obama's speech involved a proposed lesson plan created by the Education Department to accompany the address. An initial version of the plan recommended that students draft letters to themselves discussing "what they can do to help the president."

The letters "would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals," the plan stated.

After pressure from conservatives, the White House distributed a revised version encouraging students to write letters about how they can "achieve their short-term and long-term education goals."

Duncan said Sunday that the passage was poorly worded.

Some DOE tard needs a smack upside the head for trying to sneak that past in this polarized climate.

But then, it could have just been a lightning rod designed specifically to make the GOP look like a bunch of horses asses.

"A responsible parent would let the kids hear such a speech and then discuss it with them afterward."

Or maybe a responsible parent knows that after a certain age much of their kid's time is spent with people other than themselves and want to remain responsible for instilling the values they see as important, not what the government sees as important.

The Machine is working!
