So the latest meme in wingnut-ville is Obama’s stay-in-school speech = indoctrination = Hitler’s youth = what ever other negative imagery they can heap upon the Obama administration’s actions. Seriously, wtf?

According to Media Matters, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan sent a letter to schools on August 26th that described the focus of Obama’s upcoming September 8th speech to kids on education as “the importance of education and persisting and succeeding in school.” Sounds docile enough, right? I mean, pretty much every adult and family member tells kids the same exact thing during the school years!

But, if you expected no one to pick up on this mundane sounding speech, you’d be wrong. No such thing as rational thought from the likes of Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin, and other conservative commentators.
