Florida school Parents are upset

Here in Florida filled with churches, beaches, lakes everywhere there is a very conservative group of citizens. The "W" sticker was on hundreds of cars when GWB was President.
Well President Obama intends to address the Students of America on September 8Th.
My wife teaches in a grammar school in central Florida. Parents are saying "that they do not want their children exposed to the Presidents speech".
They are threatening to keep their children home from school if the Presidents speech is shown to the children of the school.
I cannot believe this is happening. When George Bush read to students in schools around the country no one called in the say they would keep their child home.
George Bush Senior spoke to 7-12 graders about Physical Fitness when he was President.
No one objected to this.
Right wing Conservatives are motivated. They have gotten their way. My wifes school will not be showing the Presidents speech on the T.V.s in the classrooms.
The Right knows how to affect our lives and insist on thier view as the only view for America.
