WTH, where is the respect?

Sorry I have to make a post about a political issue, but I can't get this issue out of my brain. So maybe talking about it here will get it off my mind...my friends and family are sick of my political talk LOL.
What the hell has become of our nation that parents would keep their children out of school for a day so they don't have to listen to OUR president speak to them for, what, maybe a half an hour, about the importance of education???????
I seriously think people have lost their minds. And what the heck is wrong with these wingnut radio "personalities" encouraging this.
I am just disgusted. I understand not believing in some of his ideas, (shoot even I don't) but the blatant disrespect they are teaching their children just baffles my mind.
I guess that's what it comes down to for me, respect. I surely did not like the way the last administration ran things, but I certainly had respect for the office of the president!!! I would have no qualms about any president addressing my children...well if I had any. LOL
anyhow....I feel better....carry on

ciao

Ugh, I have to agree!
Sometimes it feels there is such a lack of respect everywhere!

This is so true Jayne. It's very disturbing that parents are encouraging such dis-respect of our nation's leader. Like you I didn't care for the last administration but I'd never keep my kids out of school if he was there speaking. Heck I'd of gone myself just for the historical opportunity to see 'the president'.
