Sad News: Florida GOP Can't Read

They just get more pathetic by the day

I just spoke with Florida Republican Party press secretary Katie Gordon, regarding state party chairman Jim Greer's denunciation of President Obama's upcoming national address to schoolchildren on Tuesday. Gordon stood by the party's press release -- and said that children should not be subjected to what she said is a clear attempt at political indoctrination by the Obama administration. Indeed, she said parents should be able to opt-out their kids from the speech.

The Department of Education's press release says about the address: "The President will challenge students to work hard, set educational goals, and take responsibility for their learning. He will also call for a shared responsibility and commitment on the part of students, parents and educators to ensure that every child in every school receives the best education possible so they can compete in the global economy for good jobs and live rewarding and productive lives as American citizens."

But Gordon says there's a lot to be worried about. "I think that's certainly the concern, is that we don't know what this speech is about," said Gordon. "There's no advanced copy being given to parents, teachers or principals. I think that's certainly our concern, because if you look at the teaching tools that are being provided, it's certainly extremely biased."

Yeah, I wonder if they asked the same thing to Bush, but I highly doubt that.

What I clearly take from Ms. Gordon is the fact that she and her fellow GOP down there just can't read.

The Department of Education clearly highlights what the speech is about, and you didn't even need a message from them to know what the September 8th speech was about.

But sadly, they can't read. And just when Reading Rainbow goes off the air, that show is desperately needed for a group of people with below pre-grade reading levels.
