The students at my school were subjected to an "Ignite!" motivational presentation, yesterday.

I wonder how much the district paid Neil Bush for that drivel. The whole thing looked like one big product placement circus, interspersed with video of teens who had been in accidents and had cautionary or inspirational stories to tell. But the most offensive part was the segment on making good food choices, wherein the producers showed just about every junk food item that our school cafeteria sells (brought to us by Aramark, by the way). And, throughout the presentation, there were many spelling and punctuation errors in the captions beneath the photos.

Ugh.

1. "Ignite" should be banned across the world. This is a mockery to fill the
pockets of the BushCrooks, namely Neil who is extremely shady and, well - I'll leave that alone...

:thumbsdown: :grr:

4. Ignite is an "educational products" company belonging to Neil Bush...
...and it has been sold to school districts through the patronage of Jeb Bush. It is an inferior product.

3. With Barbara and Neil Bush the main stock holders
this program will be shown all over the country. You can't expect them to cancel one of the Bushfiosco Groups money scams could you.

7. You need to make public the politics behind Ignite. NCLB is just
a way to make family and friends richer and to widen the gap between rich and poor school districts.
