Massachusetts Public School Requires Students to Read “Dreams From My Father”, Some Parents Unhappy

A-Charge-to-KeepStudents in Hingham, MA were initially told that President Obama’s memoir, “Dreams From My Father” was required summer reading. After some parents protested, the school administrators changed the rule but never made it public.

The Boston Herald reports:

“President Obama’s “Dreams From My Father” is creating a nightmare for 1,099 Hingham High students cramming to wrap up their “required” summer read – a book, it turns out, they didn’t have to read in the first place.”

“With school opening Tuesday, the Herald has learned teens whose offended parents complained were allowed by Principal Paula Girouard McCann and Helaine Silva, head of the Hingham Public Schools English Department, to pick any other memoir – an option they never publicized.”

“Lynne Powell-Pinto, chairwoman of the Hingham Republican Town Committee, has a son entering 11th grade.”

“Obama, she noted, “is a current political figure. He’s an important historical figure, no quibbles about that. But the goal of the community read is to bring people together. I just think they could have made a less divisive choice.”

Can you imagine the uproar that would have followed in San Francisco or New York if the public schools had required students to read George W. Bush’s book “A Charge to Keep?”

Spending Trillions of Dollars, Why Couldn’t Obama Find a Mere $18 Million for the School Voucher Program?

This is a fascinating video from Reason TV. It asks a question that would be nice to hear at a press conference. Certainly it’s a more important question than whether or not the president is feeling “enchanted.”

How is it that a president who is comfortable spending TRILLIONS of dollars and sending his own children to a private DC school, could not find a measly $18 million to fund the DC school voucher program?

$18 Million normally wouldn’t be a small number but it’s tiny compared to what Obama is spending so far.
