BREAKING NEWS: Greenwich Schools to delay broadcast of Obama speech

September 4, 2009, 6:06 pm — According to a trusted source, a recorded message (or “robo call”) from the new Superintendent of Greenwich Schools, Dr. Sidney A. Freund, has been made to public school parents informing tem of his decision to delay viewing of President Obama’s speech to students slated for Tuesday.

Apparently, the message says the speech will be viewed by all students “at a later date” with the apparent intent to allow concerned parents to view the speech and discuss it with their children before the kids see it at school.
