They did play the speech today at my daughter's school.

It had already been posted online, contained nothing political (thanks to last week's protests, no doubt), and was shown during lunchtime. So it's just as well that she didn't lose a day of school in order to avoid it.

Now that it's all over, thank goodness for Barack Obama telling my child how important it is to stay in school...I just don't know HOW I would've convinced her without his help!!
