Perhaps the people that originally opted out were not in any way attempting to "express opposition" but merely keep their kids out of politics (see above posts)? Perhaps it was the media that turned this into "an expression of political opposition fueled by partisan extremism" and not the parents?
(I will repeat that I never pulled my kids from the speech.)
