Is it just me, or do the Democrats seem especially focused on Kansas this year? They are putting a lot of money into the races there and now this.

Separate ceremonies seems to be the best solution. Let the kids have their graduation and then give them first priority on tickets to a Brown vs Board event. I don't think this administration will listen to the concerns of the students. My guess is it goes on as planned.

I can see the kids (and parents) point... She's using the graduation for political purpose, and that's just wrong. And considering it will turn the graduation into a media circus for her propoganda, and cut the kids out of their own chance to shine, well... its just wrong. She wants to grandstand, then go to the Brown Site (a few blocks away) and have a political grandstand event, DO NOT steal the kids thunder for 12 hard years of work.

Of course, to the politicos, the kids and all their hard work are property of the Imperial Federal People's Monarchy, so the first lady SHOULD be there to tkae credit for that 12 year period of the kids education... why should the kids get the praise, when they need that final lesson in Marxism... it's the manager of the COLLECTIVE that deserves praise for ALL the people...

They have no shame. None whatsoever. Bleah.

I would be thrilled if Michelle Obama came to my kids' school. But it looks like the students have a valid point about fewer seats being available. I think my kids are trouble at 3 and 5 but we will struggle hard if they do something like organize a petition against someone like Michelle Obama visiting their school. It's a free country, though, so it really wouldn't be "trouble", just something I disagree with.
