As we all know, President Obama is addressing the nations school children on September 8th. The department of education has posted all sorts of creepy suggestions for the children to do during, and after this address. However, one thing I have not heard about is that the Department of Education is sponsoring a video contest where the winner's will recieve a $1,000 scholarship:
To further encourage student engagement, the U.S. Department of Education is launching the "I Am What I Learn" video contest. On September 8, we will invite students to respond to the president’s challenge by creating videos, up to two minutes in length, describing the steps they will take to improve their education and the role education will play in fulfilling their dreams.
We invite all students age 13 and older to create and upload their videos to YouTube by October 8. Submissions can be in the form of video blogs, public service announcements (PSAs), music videos, or documentaries. Students are encouraged to have fun and be creative with this project! The general public will then vote on their favorites to determine the top 20 finalists. These 20 videos will be reviewed by a panel of judges including U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. The panel will choose three winners, each of whom will receive a $1,000 cash prize.
I don't know if it just me, but this seems like the liberal democrats are attempting to brainwash our children. And they are offering them a $1,000 for their brain. I could only imagine what the mainstream media would have said had George Bush done this.
