white Taliban here object to the president telling school kids to study hard and stay in school!

(in case he brain washes them, indoctrinates them, or subliminally changes them into socialists - and no, I'm not joking!)

WASHINGTON -- The White House on Friday dismissed as "silly" the controversy over President Obama's plan to address the country's schoolchildren to mark the start of the school year.

"I think we've reached a little bit of the silly season when the president of the United States can't tell kids in school to study hard and stay in school," Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said. "I think both political parties agree that the dropout rate is something that threatens our long-term economic success."

But some schools across the country are wrestling with the question of how -- or whether -- to present the president's speech. And some parents, outraged by what they fear will be an indoctrination speech, have said they'll go as far as to keep their children home from school rather than allow them to watch.
