Some Chicago Area Schools Opt Out of Dear Leader's Speech (Update: A Planted Question About Healthcare?)

Seems some of the folks in Chicago are as sick of this guy as the rest of us.
A handful of Chicago area school districts will not be showing President Barack Obama's address to students on Tuesday morning.

Concerns have led the Deerfield and Oswego school districts have opted out of showing the speech live. Both might use it at a later date.

Parents said students in District U-46, which includes Bartlett, were sent "opt-out" forms.

In Indian Prairie Public School District 204 in Aurora, some schools have either made the speech optional or held it for a later date.

The speech, for which the full text was released on Monday, drew fire well before Obama delivered it. The White House said the focus would be on encouraging children to value their education.
Of course I guess this means some on the left will accuse them of being crazy.

Update: Hmm, was there a planted health care question? Certainly wouldn't put it past Obama politicizing this. If so, he is toast.
