Several Missouri schools are complaining about notebooks and pencils with designs similar to the logos from President Barack Obama's campaign.


The Columbia Daily Tribune reported that complaints from unhappy officials at three Missouri schools have prompted the supply company responsible for the materials to travel across the state recalling notebooks and pencils.

The design at issue includes a picture of pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. Above the coins is the phrase: "CHANGE" and underneath it reads: "WE CAN BELIEVE IN." Below the words is a circle used by Obama's campaign, in which the top half is blue and the bottom is red with three white lines cutting through it.

Keep propaganda OUT of public schools.

I wonder if these books and pencils were actually left-overs from the Obama campaign.  I don't see why it is such a big problem.  What will happen to these rejects?  Will they be destroyed or given away at the expense of replacing them?  I think the reasonable action would have been to keep the books and pencils and restrict any further deliveries until changes were made to the next shipment.  The fact is, the pencils still write and the books can still be used to write in.  I don't think this was a tactic of the ruling party to brainwash anyone.  It's nonsense, send them to me!
