Marcos Breton: Obama speech boycott teaches ugly lesson - Sacramento News - Local and Breaking Sacramento News Sacramento Bee:
"Reflecting a national furor, some Elk Grove parents pressured their school district for the option of pulling their kids out of class when Obama gives a nationally televised address to school kids on Tuesday.
Typically, the Elk Grove Unified School District allows parents to 'opt out' when provocative films are shown in class or during some sex-ed discussions.
Now, some seem to consider the president of the United States as objectionable as information on sexually transmitted diseases."
