It is a brand new school year and a brand new president. The message of his speech will be for kids to value their education and the importance of staying in school and studying hard. It won't be a long speech. And if one child is inspired enough to stay in school because of the words of the President, I think it will be more than worth it.
Due to complaints by conservatives, the proposed assignment to ask children what they can do to help the president has been scrapped, so it's not even an issue any longer (though that doesn't matter to some out there).
