Education is Power, isn't it?

President Barack Obama gave a wonderful speech yesterday addressing grade school children to work hard in school so they can be successful in life. For the life of me I can not understand why they (conservatives) were so up in arms about OUR PRESIDENT encouraging children (who are our future) to work hard and stay in school so that they can be successful. Can some one please break it down to me what was so wrong with this ?! Some right wing school districts around the country even went as far as refusing to show the President's speech because they felt like he was trying to push his political agenda to grade school students? REALLY?!?! It really saddens me that people try to tarnish President Obama's legacy anyway they can.

Here at Fabulous Brown Girl we believe that children can not be encouraged enough that their education is important! EDUCATION IS KEY!!

"The truth is, being successful is hard. You won't love every subject you study. You won't click with every teacher. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right this minute. And you won't necessarily succeed at everything the first time you try," Obama said.

Being the father of grade school children himself, he said what any responisble parent would tell their child.

If you haven't had a chance to see the President Obama Speech, please take time to listen to him.. Inspirational as always!!
