Since [Neal McCluskey ](https://www.cato.org/2009/09/02/thanks-for-the-wakeup-call-mr-president/)and [I weighed in ](https://www.cato.org/2009/09/02/obama-to-kids-tune-in-turn-on-dont-drop-out/)on the president’s planned address to public school students this morning, we’ve been getting a whole lot of calls and e‑mails from parents who aren’t too keen on the prospect. They’ve been asking us how to let their school districts know that they don’t feel comfortable with the president as “Educator in Chief.”

If you’re in the same boat, here’s how to contact your district officials and (politely, of course) voice your opinion. Go to [this school district search page ](http://nces.ed.gov/ccd/districtsearch/)at the Department of Education and type in the name of your district and the state that it’s in. Click the button and it will display your district’s telephone number.

I’m sure the president would approve of helping parents to become more actively involved in their own children’s education.
