Couldn't agree more. So these kids do nothing but play with their electronics and continue to get fatter. Our socialist government then thinks kids are fat because of the food they eat, so they try to regulate what kind of food we all eat. I'm sorry, but I ate way more fatty food then these kids eat and I was always in great shape, without even trying.
Not to worry though. When these obese kids start having heart attacks in their early fortys, Obamacare and our tax dollars will take care of them. After all, it IS their right.

Media Wake-Up Call for Parents

I recently attended a middle school band concert. To my amazement, at least one third of the children performing in the various bands sat using their cell phones when not on stage. Astoundingly, many of these pre-teens had expensive sophisticated smartphones that enabled them to browse the Internet as well as text friends. I even noted some youths texting on stage when their instruments were not part of the performance. When it comes to electronic media, things are changing so fast that parents are lagging behind. Apparently, so too are band directors, teachers and school administrators.
