Has this country lost...

...its #$%&*! mind? (Don't answer that.) The New York Times reports this morning that,

President Obama's plan to deliver a speech to public school students on Tuesday has set off a revolt among conservative parents, who have accused the president of trying to indoctrinate their children with socialist ideas and are asking school officials to excuse the children from listening.

Are they serious? Do they really want to prevent their children from listening to a speech given by the president of the United States? It's not like Nikita Khrushchev is visiting from the Soviet Union in some time machine from the 1950s! To paraphrase Barney Frank, what planet do these people live on?
