On eve of 1992 campaign, Bush 41 pitches education plan in televised classroom speech:

Bush’s speech was delivered on the eve of his presidential re-election campaign, and although it did contain some inspirational rhetoric, significant portions of it were focused promoting his own education plan.
A conspiracy theorist might even claim Bush’s goal was to influence parents by "indoctrinating" their children.
And this is what the Democrats had to say about it
"The Department of Education should not be producing paid political advertising for the president, it should be helping us to produce smarter students."
Dick Gephardt (D-Mo.), House Majority leader, 1991. (quote here)
Granted it was different, it didn't originally solicit loyalty from our school children.
