The department of education provided additional resources if teachers wanted to take the speech to another level and didn't have the time or gumption to prepare a lesson plan for it. Their was no political agenda. If you are homeschooling your child, then I believe it would be important to teach controversial topics as well. Let the kids then analyze the speech and take home a positive message. Keep it up BrainPOP!

We use Brainpop for several subjects in our own homeschool and I'm very disappointed you would not consider this controversy before promoting the speech. I might have to re-think my continued subscription. The president’s speech is an extremely controversial topic and especially so in the homeschooling community.
