Actually, they're not being hypocritical - they're applying the same policy to both speeches. You just have to find the whole story. http://blogs.usatoday.com/ondeadline/2009/09/texas-school-district-that-decl ined-obama-will-bus-students-to-hear-bush.html In both cases the speeches can be attended by students off-campus with a signed parental permission slip. The only point that might be taken as questionable is the fact that students are being bussed in. The event that they are attending actually has more to do with football than it does with politics. Based on what I read at http://stadiumblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/09/president-bush-at-cowboys -stad.html it is revolving around the Super Bowl XLV. But hey, it's a chance for the rest of the world to bash Texans... who cares, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
