Show and Yell

Still from Fahrenheit 9/11.

Republican parents concerned for their children's educational well-being are angrily opposing a speech scheduled to be televised next Tuesday in classrooms across America and given by Columbia University and Harvard Law School Graduate, and also President of the United States, Barack Obama. Upon first glance, the opposition seems misguided. Their outrage appears to stem from a fear that the president's speech will somehow create a "cult of personality", as Rep. state Senator Steve Russell of Oklahoma put it, instead of a civics lesson, which is obviously completely ridiculous. Further historical analysis, however, tends to support their cause for concern, especially in light of there existing two giant, twin-like skyscrapers in New York City just prior to the last president speaking before a classroom full of students. When he finished, they were gone.
