In a nutshell, a brown face still, in this day and age, = mistrust. This is the real reason why the outraged parents did not want Obama to speak to their kids. They know it, I know it, and you know it. How? Because there was no revolt when George Bush, Sr. and George Bush, Jr. spoke to children. So what else could it be but the mistrust of a "brown face" in authority. "How dare this Black man (even though he's bi-racial; black/white) tell our children what to do!" Is this the America you thought it was? Maybe it really is. One crazy woman even went so far as to pull her kid out of the school he was attending altogether rather than taking him to the library as the principal suggested she do until the speech was over. Had Obama been blonde and blue eyed, as so many of these parent protesters are/were, it would have been a different story and more than likely they would not have protested. Sad day in America...we are still not the progressive country everyone thinks we are. Seems maybe we are a "Superpower" in military only?!
