Yes, but he seems to be a pretty level headed Kid, who will recognize it for the BS that it is.
I imagine you WILL be talking this over with him and pointing him to the relevant dissenting opinions

Of course, but wouldn't it be nice if parents were informed of this type of crap before hand?  Had I not seen this most likely I would never have heard about it.  (Jr will sleep through it )

Told he was a young man with good sense 
The way tax payers are raising hell about the deficit, nationalizing industries, and Obama care, do you REALLY expect them to give you a chance to comment on communist indoctrination of your kids ?

Actually you're wrong here. Ron and Nancy did it back in the '80s when TV in the classroom was considered to be the cool new thing. They gave one of thier "just say no spiels" that was to be accompanied by teachng tools including everything from MADD to McRuff the Crime Dog. ::)Same propaganda and basically an excuse for students to take a nap. (I mean, I was deeply touched and moved by the inspirational words from our president) .

We don't know what he will be saying yet so I reserve judgment until I hear it.
