I Am Speechless - literally! WWYD?

Since we had heard nothing about the Obama speech from our daughter's school we asked her teacher about it at the end of school Friday. She told us that they were opting not to show it. She said it was a District decision because it's political, and they don't teach religion or politics at school. whatWHAT???? Then, I found out from friends that their children elsewhere in the same District are seeing it. I went to the District website, and they have a long statement about how they have left it to the discretion of the individual classroom teacher whether to show it, and whether to use the curriculum provided, but that parents could opt out. She INSISTED that it was a District decision, and not the decision of the individual teacher or school. She said it was against District policy to show it. WWYD if your child's teacher lied to you like that?
