Do you remember the RW outrage in Aug., 2009, when Pres. Obama, [View all]

like so many other presidents before him, was scheduled to address US schoolchildren at the start of the school year?

His video address was the standard "work hard, stay in school, study, be good" speech, but the RW totally freaked, and RW parents demanded that their own kids be exempted from bering exposed to it.

I remember a news report in which a mother being interviewed actually choked up and started to cry about how she didn't want her child to be indoctrinated by Obama!

And yet DonnieTwo Scoops can regale boy scouts with stories about sex parties on yachts with the "hottest" people, and tell them not to believe information from the "fake news." He can encourage them to boorishly boo the previous president and a former SoS, senator, and First Lady.

Even apart from the disrespect for the offices, these kids are supposed to be learning respect, decency, honor, and civility, not how to be rude jerks.
