President Barack Obama steered clear of politics in a pep talk to students that sparked controversy among conservatives, who accused him of trying to indoctrinate America's children.
Presidents often visit schools, and Obama was not the first one to offer a back-to-school address aimed at millions of students in every grade. Yet several conservative organizations and many concerned parents warned Obama was trying to sell his political agenda through his speech to children Tuesday.
That concern was caused in part by an accompanying administration lesson plan encouraging students to "help the president," which the White House later revised.
In his speech, Obama challenged the nation's students to take pride and ownership in their education - and stick with it even if they don't like every class or must overcome tough circumstances at home.
