Keep your kids home, #tcot
Go ahead, keep your kids home from Obama’s speech today. Clearly, you’ll be sending a message to, uh… the school district.
You sent your political message, though. You made your point.
But you’d better start watching your kids’ internet usage. Because all the kids with regular (read: normal) parents are going to be talking about how cool it was to see the president tell them to stay in school. Your kids will probably just watch it later on YouTube, or MySpace, Facebook, Twitter or hell, lets still make believe that people go to DailyMotion.
But you made your point. You kept your kids from that socialist, fascist Obama while they were in school, right? You made a difference, didn’t you?
There’s probably a good chance you’re going to want to keep the TV off for a few days, too. Even your beloved Fox News will be covering the faux outrage and replaying the damning video evidence.
Your kids are probably going to be teenagers at some point. Your kids will probably rebel against you, and remember that you made them stay home during some speech that, had you not said anything, probably would have been forgotten in less than a year. Heck, they may even start supporting *gasp* LIBERAL and PROGRESSIVE causes.
But you made your political point. You kept your kids from being indoctrinated with those socialist agendas such as, “Stay in school,” “pull yourself up by your own bootstraps,” and that terrible, awful socialist doctrine, “create the next Google, or eBay.”
You made this out to be a bigger issue than ever. Your children are going to see this message whether you like it or not.
