• Washington Times (9/3/09) WH withdraws call for students to 'help' Obama.
President Obama's plan to inspire the nation's schoolchildren with a video address next week erupted into controversy Wednesday, forcing the White House to pull out its eraser and rewrite a government recommendation that teachers nationwide assign students a paper on how to "help the president."
// Among the activities the government initially suggested for prekindergarten to sixth-grade students: that they "write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president." Another task recommended for students immediately after listening to the speech: to engage in a discussion about what "the president wants us to do."
The novel curriculum plan brought sharp criticism from conservatives, including some who complained that classrooms were being used to spread political propaganda. In response, the White House last night confirmed they were revising the lesson plan that was distributed last week by the U.S. Department of Education.
"We're clarifying that language," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said.
By Wednesday evening, the sentence asking children to think about how they can "help the president" had been replaced. The rewritten line said students should "write letters to themselves about how they can achieve their short-term and long-term education goals. These would be collected and redistributed at an appropriate later date by the teacher to make students accountable to their goals."
// "I can't think of anything less partisan than this," said Mo Elleithee, a Democratic strategist. "It's admirable that President Obama would challenge our schoolchildren to do their best, and it's the kind of message that most level-headed Americans can easily get behind."
Mr. Elleithee called the moral outrage "beyond silly" and said it was "the kind of hyper-partisanship that people so soundly rejected last November."

• Associated Press (9/2/09) Utah Principle Apologizes for 'I Pledge' Video.
• MSNBC (9/2/09) 3 states still ban teachers' religious clothing.  Do any of our listeners have kids in public school that have teachers who wear hijabs?  Turbans?  Priest collars or nun habits?  What about the law going both ways and allowing Christian teachers to wear cross necklaces or Christian tee-shirts?
• Newsweek (9/2/09) Getting schooled about money.  How are you teaching your kids about money and tithing?  Calls from listeners who had parents that didn't teach them about money, and now they are suffering.  Do you give your kids an allowance?  Why or why not?  Are there provisions to the allowance?  How much do they get?
