What was the essential nature of the reaction to the 'homework assignment'? How do you suppose the people interpreted it? What did they think it was?

With all due respect, it's the same direction. You are far more interested in being right than trying to understand the not-so-extreme rationale of parents who may not want their 6-year-olds listening to a speech mildly peppered with climate change references. Perhaps they just want their kids to be kids for a little while longer. I'm certain that, upon reading the speech, many parents looked forward to a pep talk from POTUS. I know it's easier to think of them all as bitter, boom stick, sky ghost morans (incorrectly spelled for effect) - you know, because they disagree with you.
