In reading the comments on here, I see that noone has read the previous story or the comments. When this speech was first brought about to the teachers and school admin. it was not a "pep talk" for children. The focus of this speech has changed several times since the first mention of it. The original plan sounded a little too close to indoctrination and school officials, teachers, and parents raised their concerns. So please, dont just catch the tail end of something and assume that all parents that have concerns are conservative wacko's. Do some research and decide for yourself and your children. That is what parents are suppose to do.
