Is it appropriate for President Obama to give a nationally televised speech to school children?
The Example We Need President Obama will be addressing American school children this week in a nationally-televised address. It is not the first nor the last time presidents have spoken to this segment of the population. They regularly direct their speeches at adults in radio addresses each Saturday, during press conferences and on plenty of other occasions. When our leader speaks to our children we have certain expectations, however. It is usually limited to topics important to this demographic: staying in school; getting good grades; rejecting drugs and alcohol.
