way not to make a point. :doh
"Politics need to be out of our classrooms"
The schools system is organized and funded by the government - and part of schooling is actually history and *gasp* politics and even *gasp* laws and rules! Both state and federal.
It's impossible to keep politics OUT of the education system - and, this particular song, I see nothing wrong with it.
I know what's wrong with the deification of a sitting POTUS by schoolchildren? I don't see why anyone would be opposed to indoctrination into a cult of personality. Seig Heil!
I understand the contention with that, though :2razz:
Finding problem with *part* doesn't condemn the whole.
The song would be fine if they took that part out ... or simply make an entire song dedicated to all presidents.
None of these songs even mention the fact that Obama is the first black POTUS, so the "black history month" excuses for the overt political indoctrination of school children = epic fail.
I totally agree. The only problem is that this goes on legally in private religious schools across the US and no one ****s themselves over that. So in comparison, as pathetic as this Obama worship is, it just doesn't look that bad.I know what's wrong with the deification of a sitting POTUS by schoolchildren?
