PiscesTexas School Declined Obama Speech, Buses Kids to See Bush
"The distinction is it's a field trip that parents have to grant permission for students to attend," she says, according to the Star-Telegram.
With parental permission, the selected classes will attend a field trip at the Cowboys Stadium, where they will hear from several different speakers.
Dwight McKissic Sr., the senior pastor of Arlington's Cornerstone Baptist Church, said he's concerned about the district's decision to not broadcast Obama's message while transporting students to hear a message from Bush.
"I do not understand the duplicity in this situation," McKissic said in a news release, according to NBC. "I believe the students and the public deserve and need to have these differences explained."
The church presented Obama's speech on Tuesday and arranged with the school district for any student who attended to get an excused absence from school.

I believe the school district has no right to decide if the students should watch the president’s speech or not. parent should for their minor kids and those already 18 should be allowed to decide for themselves. The director of the school district is surely racist and should not impose his racist attitude on our younger generations.
Wow, is all of Texas like this — what a double standard.
I do not like Obama at all we are headed down a long long road of disasters
Whatever the decision, it’s up to the parents and school. It;s none of that preacher’s damn business.
And these were the parents worried about Obama “brainwashing” their children?!!! Sheeesh… lots of glass houses in good ol’ Texas huh?
ANYTHING IS BETTER THEN BUSH IN OFFICE……GIVE OBAMA A CHANCE……THEY HANDED THE WORLD OVER TO HIM AFTER THE WHITE MAN F’D IT UP……
There is still a lot of racism in Texas unfortunately. I don’t think they should go see him if they didn’t watch the current president on tv at their own school. Really? Bush is not the brightest and our kids need all the time in class that they can get. Does not make sense to me. And all those parents that were not taking their kids to school because of the Obama speech being shown should make some noise about this one too.
I’m tired of being labeled “racist” because I don’t like Obama and his policies. I am allowed to have my own opinions just like the liberals. I AM NOT RACIST!!! It’s time the left come up with a better excuse.
That is ridiculous! Leave it to Texas…
Seriously? Bush? Have they already forgotten where he led us to? I would much rather my toddler be our leader than George Dubya Bush.
This is just CRAZY, I don’t believe that they would do this. This IS the president of the UNITED States, I think that it is a patriotic duty for children to see it. I think that if ppl want to get all crazy over standing up for the flag they can listen to what the PRESIDENT has to say. After he say what he has to say then maybe have a decision about it. Parent can talk to there kids and explain there own views about what he said. Not just totally rule it out.
I didn’t like Bush and I can’t stand Obama…
