Folks, I hate to inject a rational thought an spoil the hysteria, but you really don't have to worry about the "indoctrination" of school kids. Obama has at tops, about 7 years to go in the white house. He will, by constitutional law, be out of office before these kids can vote. I also doubt one nice song about the president is going to warp their fragile little minds.
As for singing the praises of the first black president during black history month, I again don't see a huge need to get one's panties in a bunch. If he were Irish and they sang it on St. Patrick's day, I'd be ok too. If they had done it about Bush on Stupid Texan day, I'd have had no major problem.
Once again, it seems that some people are so outraged that Obama is president that anything that doesn't paint him as the anti-christ is viewed as indoctrination.
Oh and Gift? Just as I have in past posts and on other threads, I kindly ask you to stop the Hitler crap....Obama is not Hitler, not Stalin, not Jesus and not the boogy man. He's a politician doing his job and had nothing do with this.
Now, if you want to talk about this in reasonable terms as an educational decision, I might have more agreement than disagreement with you. But until you turn down the monster shouting, forgive me if I don't take you terribly seriously.
I Believe you are lacking a perspective on the long term damage that will become of this type of propaganda. For one, these kids will grow up thinking that Obama was a great president regardless if he was or wasn't; thus, it properly secures the liberal ideology in the children.
In addition, this type of "teaching" is in fact very similar to what many dictators have done in the passed. For instance, Hitler, Stalin, and Hugo Chavez have used schools as tools to brain wash children. And, this is not teaching children about black people but having children praise someone. There is a difference.
Also, I think this has more to do with politics than Black History month. This is something political, liberal, and leftist. If they wanted to sing about someone for Black history month; they could do it on Martin Luther King who is somebody that has actually accomplished something that has affected the nation positively. So far, I have yet to see Obama do anything big other than decieve the people in to presidency.
In short, this should not be allowed nor tolerated in our school systems because it is harmful to this nation.
You would be correct if it were capitalist propaganda (and that has worked splendidly) but this is once again...the right grasping at straws. Add to that a bunch of reactionary school administrators and parents and you have a sound bite.
This is all more partisan vitriol not just mad that a liberal dem got elected pres. but that he is black.
It's ok that Bush continues to sit in Florida elementary school classroom while we are 'under attack' but don't let me sing his praises.
