President Obama is heading to Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia today to deliver a speech to students across the country. Obama will urge students to work hard, make the most of their education, and stay in school. The speech has generated some controversy. Last week the chair of the Florida Republican Party accused Obama of using taxpayer dollars to “indoctrinate America’s children to his socialist agenda.” Some schools are refusing to broadcast Obama’s message, and some parents are threatening to keep their children home from school today.
