Here's a link to NPR story done today over it. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...47&ft=1&f=1003

IMO, I think parents and politicians are making a big fuss over nothing. So, the presidents wants to talk directly to the students about staying in school. This doesn't mean he is trying to brainwash students to his way of thinking. Maybe he thinks that students are too busy doing other things at night: work, sports, homework, sleeping, etc. and the best time to reach the students is when they are at school.
I think it is sad that one school can't show it because of lack of money.
How dare he tell the kids that education is important. That is just blatant brainwash.
