Patti Caplan of the Howard County Public School System released a statement about the song students were forced to sing praising President Obama. It says, in part:
The objective of this lesson was to motivate students with a positive message to be respectful, stay in school, work hard and do their best.
My eyes are rolling…so far back in my head. That is a blatent lie! All you have to do is read the lyrics that the children were forced to sing.
You can read the entire statement from Howard County Schools here.
The statement complains that the Assistant Principle of the school in question, whose name was circulated along with the lyrics, has received harassing, vulgar and threatening emails and phone calls. I wouldn’t condone engaging in any of those tactics, but my guess is that if someone calls and says, “You shouldn’t have forced those children to sing that song.” it will be labeled as harassment. Hah!
Spread those lyrics far and wide and bring shame upon those who are trying to indoctrinate the children of America!
