Obama's school speech video: Watch it here

President Obama delivered the speech to students across the country today that has created quite a controversy. The setting was Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia and was met along the way with protests. One sign read "Mr. President, stay away from our kids." Not exactly a warm welcome!

Before giving his speech, the president met with a group of students in the school library. Proving he's not entirely out of touch with what kids today are up to, he advised students to "be careful what you post on Facebook. Whatever you do, it will be pulled up later in your life."

The speech drew controversy from some conversatives who believe the president is bypassing parents and going straight to children to push his agenda. Other parents were more concerned about the proposed lesson plans that were to accompany the speech, including one that asked students to write a letter to President Obama on how they would help him. Although the lesson plans were revised, and never mandatory, parents were still upset that the federal government was involving itself in educational curriculum, something that is decided at a state level.

Now that the speech is over, President Obama will likely get back to his latest controversy: Healthcare reform.

Here is the president's speech, in case you missed it or would like to watch it with your child:
