Modern Take on an American God

In light of today's discussion on America's reverence of George Washington, I thought that this video would serve as a modern incarnation of the cherry tree myth. Instead of chopping down trees, though, here he flies on rainbows. This video is all true facts about the man.

Warning: strong language and images...if you're manly enough to handle them, like Washington was.

The Presidential Libraries

We have two Presidential Libraries in Southern California!

The Nixon Library is located in Yorba Linda and the Reagan is in Simi Valley.

May I suggest either an official or unofficial class trip to one or both of these?



As an FYI from the Claremont Republicans:

"This Sunday former Republican Congressman Joe Scarborough who now hosts MSNBC's Morning Joe will be at the Reagan Library to tape Morning Joe."

President's Inspiring Words to America's Students

** I tried to do this as a comment to the previous post but was unsuccessful**

If you are a words person and would like to read the script for the President's Education speech, that was made available online the day before. How often does the President release his remarks ahead of time?


I was particularly fascinated by the other resources and the menu of classroom activities made available in the weeks before the speech, as well.
