Personally, I read every word of it and did not find it harmful. The kiddos were off to school to hear the illustrious leader give his speech. And since I don't trust him on most other things I can only hope he didn't try to sneak something in like he generally does.
Bernie,
They reworded a couple of minor things in the (optional) lesson plan. There was nothing considerable about it. Nope, I have no idea what the original speech was - if there even was a different version, and neither does anybody else on this forum. To assume there was a different version is not based on any evidence we have. To assume that there was not is also based on evidence we do not have. And that was why I said that the lesson plan will have to be taken in context with the actual speech rather than rushing to judgment like just about everyone else here did.
