What we truly need is a separation of liberals and state. Or at the very least, in the interim, a separation of liberal "teachers" and classrooms.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion. A teacher's political leaning is a non-issue as long as that leaning adheres to the principles of democracy and remains private. What is needed is a separation of politics and education. But that goes without saying.

They can have their opinions. But they have no right to indoctrinate children. These liberal teachers are not being paid to indoctrinate children into a "certain" political philosophy. Taxpayers are paying for kids to be taught core academic subjects. Not political idolatry. If these liberal "teachers" can't handle that task, they need to be separated from the classroom. Simple.

He said red, yellow, black or white

Lyrics from a song I learned back in Sunday school many years ago..

"Jesus loves the little children, all the children in the world.
Red, yellow, black and white, they're all precious in his sight.
Jesus loves the children of the world"

I do feel children should be taught about politics, government, social studies and things like that. Teach them facts, let them form opinions.

I do think this is inappropriate. I would not be happy if my children were being taught to worship a president. They don't know enough to form an opinion yet.

Funny I learned a different one in the Military

Napalm sticks to little children, all the children of the world.
yellow, black, red or white, napalm makes them glow at night
So you can shoot them with ease.

Military humour, gotta love it!

Anyway, when I saw that video I exploded... this bastard cant use kids to kiss his ass... No matter what the **** happens, im with the queen

Why would you assume that President Obama is behind this???

If this was a tin-foil conspiracy dont cha think it would have happened at a bunch (hundreds) of schools?

If you wanna bitch, bitch at that school not at Obama

After viewing the video once again, I'd say that the children are just having a ball without giving the contents of the song too much thought. I surely disapprove of it, and maybe children are being indoctrinated here. But maybe they're just enjoy themselves by shouting whatever lyrics they have learned. I wouldn't want make a mountain out of a molehill here.

Yes of course this was an isolated incident by an enthusiastic school teacher in a local school.

Oh... wait a second... theres more.

SteamWake · 10-08-09, 09:45 AM

Yes sure definatly an isolated thing...

Wait here is even more 'isolated' stuff.
