[video=youtube;cWbBIOb7x2U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWbBIOb7x2U[/video] There's a difference between respecting the Office of the President and creating what Living Colour sang about: [video=youtube;RZ5SVDYBNrY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ5SVDYBNrY[/video] I wonder what the media would have reported if this song celebrated George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan.
Is is it weird to have children citing political slogans, no question. Is it something that should be done in a school setting, no. Are these kids going going to become mindless Obama supporters because of this, no. If this is the worst thing that is happening at this school then all public schools should be so lucky.

Logic and context are not welcome here. This is social ... er ...commu ... errr ... fasci ... err ... terrorism that we're fighting here, goddammit. Think about the children, won't you? Can't you see that the pedophile Obama has corrupted their minds and offered them socialism candy and given them terrorism coins to play at the fascist arcade? Surely this is the end of civilization as we know it.
Funny how the left dismisses all objection to the so-called "indoctrination" by saying that the right is claiming that "the Obama Administration" is doing the indoctrination. Nobody that I've heard has said that Obama or the White House had anything to do with this. Personally, my objection is with the teachers and with the parents. Obamaphilia is reaching religious proportions, and should be banned from schools...
I can see how this is a legitimate concern. But I still think it's being made out to be bigger than it is. It was black history month, a black president is as big as it gets in black history.
I understand the argument that what they were taught to say wasn't such a big deal, but you've got to admit that the lyrics are at best creepy. [tongue-in-cheek]And if this had happened in 2001, there would be ptuli-smelling dredlocked heads exploding all over the country...[/tongue-in-cheek]
