The original totalitarian version of the Department of Education guidance for President Obama's planned speech to primary school students has been systematically replaced - in every readily found repository on the Web, and of course on the Department of Education site linked to my previous blog post - with a new version in which the more totalitarian parts have been bowdlerized out of the text. Finally, an occasion to show that I can actually do what I teach: I located an html copy of the original in the Google indexer cache and copied it to my archive. The title, above, of THIS blog posting will take you to a true copy of the original - just in case you are one of the millions who have been left to wonder what the big fuss was about.
Of course, not only have the traces of the original official guidance document disappeared from the scene of the crime, but El Presidente now plans to deliver (a revised version, no doubt, of) his education speech on Monday before the start of school, for advance parental approval. To whomever is tempted to find out what Our Dear Leader originally planned to say to the kids, I remind you that breaking into the recycle folder of the President's computer is a Federal Felony. So please don't. I'm certain that The Onion will publish a reasonable facsimile.
