As we all know that the news about President Barrack Obama’s School Speech is all over the headlines in the past days, and also some groups who are saying that the speech is a way to foist “socialist ideology” on schoolchildren. But the White House released the transcript of the full speech in text on the web. And this is the part of the speech where people are questioning why would he include the founders of Twitter, Facebook and Google in the speech:
“The story of America isn’t about people who quit when things got tough. It’s about people who kept going, who tried harder, who loved their country too much to do anything less than their best.
It’s the story of students who sat where you sit 250 years ago, and went on to wage a revolution and found this nation. Students who sat where you sit 75 years ago who overcame a Depression and won a world war; who fought for civil rights and put a man on the moon. Students who sat where you sit 20 years ago who founded Google, Twitter and Facebook and changed the way we communicate with each other.
So today, I want to ask you, what’s your contribution going to be? What problems are you going to solve? What discoveries will you make? What will a president who comes here in twenty or fifty or one hundred years say about what all of you did for this country? “
After reading the text on Monday, even Jim Greer, the Florida Republican Party chairman who last week accused the president of seeking to use the speech to foist “socialist ideology” on schoolchildren, said he could find nothing to criticize in its text.
You can find the full copy of Obama’s School Speech in the official website of White House.
