As a kid, I had to do assignments dealing with Reagan (letters) and Bush Sr. (drug related stuff). I barely remember the Reagan thing, but with Bush Sr., I remember watching this thing IN SCHOOL where he was going on about why drugs were bad. How is that any different from what Obama wanted to talk about (staying in school, doing better in school) and the type of assignment the Department of Education wanted to assign?

I've already stated my view on it several times, earlier in the thread. I think he changed the content due to public outcry. I also explained what I thought was probably in the first draft. Did you have a more specific question about it?
And I don't remember ever hearing a Presidential address to students. I remember hearing the President speak after Challenger blew up. I remember some Teen Titans comic books that had a "don't do drugs" message from the 1st Lady in it. But that's it. Our school wasn't really wired for TV though... we all had to go to the library to watch the Challenger news when it happened.
