Left a comment on Huffington Post about the halloween event at the White House last night. Writer made a snarky comment because the Obama children were not there and the press wasn't told where they were.:"But the White House refused to say where Sasha and Malia Obama were celebrating Halloween and what the two girls were wearing, even though hundreds of other children their ages were in costume in full view of the media." My response: The Obama family is not on the country's payroll, thus where they are and what they're doing is not your nor our business. The hundreds of other children are not in need of constant security nor do they have to deal with constant media scrutiny.

The same holds true for their choice of schools. Public school attendance would not only leave the girls in a vulnerable position, and subject to even more media intrusion, the havoc that would result in a negative impact on the rest of the student body and faculty would is just not worth trying to make some social point.

I would prefer to see Perry focus his energies on innovative methods of keeping our kids in school and becoming successful, rather than worrying over where two little girls go to school. Get Kindles into every child's hand, with updated schoolbooks and literature.

Somebody please tell the young woman helping Don Lemon with this story that the Tea Partiers are neither a fringe group, nor is there a lot of vitriol coming from them. She should do some research on this issue.

I admire and applaud Dr. Perry's efforts towards his students. However, I think his opinions on President's Obama's choice of where to enroll his children are biased. His views are from an principal's perspective; not those of a politician.

To Dr. Perry, the comment you said in the late 60s and early 70s that the Black families started to break down, I like to debate. It was definitely the 80s, when late President Ronald Regan was President, the crack epidemic, Reganomics, and etc. But, it was the crack epidemic that definitely was the downward spiral of broken Black families. Children being born as crack babies, children living in foster homes, and etc.
