Default Teachers sent home Obama song lyrics to parents before the performance
permalink
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009...official-says/

Manno said the Obama song was originally part of an eight-skit assembly program performed on Feb. 27 that marked Black History Month, as well as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's birthdays, Groundhog Day, the Chinese New Year, Valentine's Day, Mardi Gras and Dental Health Month.
"We have been informed that the lyrics of the song were sent home with the children in advance of the assembly, which was the teacher's normal procedure," Manno wrote in his letter. "There were no concerns or complaints to, during, or after the program."
The performance was reprised and videotaped on March 23 when an author who had written a book about Obama visited the school as part of its Women's History Month program, Manno said.

Why are you starting a duplicate thread on this. As I pointed out in the other thread this point is meaningless. Plus, this is a statement made by a representative of the school. This may or may not be true but even if it is it only shows that the parents were remiss - it proves nothing. So many of your posts demonstrate that you are grasping at straws.

I posted a thread because I think this is worthy of its own discussion.

Your official position on everything seems to be "it isn't important unless I say it's important", yet you accuse everyone else of being narrow-minded.

My point is this: the WHOLE THING is a non-issue. It wasn't an issue when it happened and the only parents who are now saying it IS are the ones who are not paying attention to what goes on at the school. Public schools rely heavily on parental involvement. If you AREN'T involved, then you really can't complain about what goes on. End of story.

Don't want your kids to learn any view but your own? Teach them at home, like the evangelical christians do.

Teaching kids about the president is not "partisan politics". There is only ONE president! He just happens to be democratic, GET OVER IT ALREADY.

You're quite correct ... Teaching kids about the president isn't partisan politics ... But teaching kids to chant praises to the president is. Now, with that said, go learn the difference between teaching from a historical perspective and indoctrination.

So now you have resorted to lying. You know full well that they were not teaching kids about the President but indoctrinating them by making them sing his praise and sing praise of his policies. By the way some of the lyrics were taken from a song about Jesus with Obama's name used instead. And you are comparing the school indoctrinating other peoples children with values that the parents don't necessarily agree with to a parent teaching their own child about their values - how is that a fair comparison?

funny how libs have a problem with a kid sitting silently with their heads bowed for a moment because that is indoctrinating religion. but the whole class in unison singing praises to a man is AOK. hypocracy on the highest order. oops, the US house of representatives just passed a bill that bans the word hypocracy, and several others, from use on the floor of the once great body.......isnt freedom great?

I don't remember all the school programs nor the songs nor the books about any other president.

Did they sing songs about Clinton? Either of the Bushes?

This is not the same thing... It is strange...

A cult of personality can be a danergous thing.

They do however sing songs praising Adolf Hitler, Kim Jung Il and Chairman Mao.

So what's the harm?

Umm really? Please show me any songs our children are singing in praise of these slack jawed MFs.
