Obama’s “historic address” to the schoolchildren

The National Education Association claims that Obama’s speech is a “historic address.” That’s generous.

Speaking of history, Byron York points out that the NEA had a slightly different assessment of George H.W. Bush’s address to the nation’s schoolchildren in 1991.

The National Education Association denounced the speech, saying it “cannot endorse a president who spends $26,000 of taxpayers’ money on a staged media event at Alice Deal Junior High School in Washington, D.C. — while cutting school lunch funds for our neediest youngsters.”
