September 17th was Constitution Day. United States Public Law requires that public educational institutions receiving federal funds teach about the Constitution on September 17 each year. Florida Law requires public school districts to commemorate the founding principles of our nation during the last full week of September.
In public schools across America students were reading and discussing the U.S. Constitution, one of the most important and influential documents ever penned.
However, in one Martin County Florida elementary school it was not the Constitution and Bill of Rights which were handed out, rather it was a book titled “Praise Song for the Day: A Poem for Barack Obama’s Presidential Inauguration, January 20, 2009″ by Elizabeth Alexander.

Like 1860's southerners praising Jefferson Davis on July 4th?
Well, this just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Kumbaya.
He raises con artistry to a whole new level.
Leftists and teachers unions don't need Jeb or any other politician to do what they do.
Like chickens praising Colonel Sanders!
I don’t know if it is the same Bush family. This is from the Bush Foundation page.
“
The Foundation was established in 1953 by 3M executive Archibald Bush and his wife, Edyth. Inspired by the Bushes’ desire to build their community and encourage innovation, the Foundation has made over one billion dollars in grants to thousands of organizations and individuals.”
The 'Peace' Symbol
The first semaphore letter in this symbol, with the flags at 45-degree angles to the ground, represents N; the overlapping semaphore letter with the arms vertical is D. Together they represent the initials for “nuclear disarmament.” The symbol design is credited to British artist Gerald Holtom, and features prominently each September 21st -- the International Day of Peace.
Did she hand out scissors also?
From “The Children’s Story”:
“The New Teacher said, “We’re going -to have lots of wonderful secrets together. You can eat your candy if you want to. And because Johnny was especially clever, I think we should make him monitor for the whole week, don’t you?”
They all nodded happily and popped the candy into their mouths and chewed gloriously. Johnny was very proud as he chewed his candy, he decided that he liked his teacher very much. Because she told the truth. Because she was right about fear. Because she was right about God. He’d prayed many times for many things and never got them, and even the one time he did get the skates, he knew his dad had heard him and had put them under his bed for his birthday and pretended he hadn’t heard him. I ALWAYS WONDERED WHY HE DIDN’T LISTEN, AND ALL THE TIME HE WASN’T THERE, he thought.
Johnny sat back contentedly, resolved to work hard and listen and not to have wrong thoughts like Dad.
The teacher waited for them to finish their candy. This was what she had been trained for, and she knew that she would teach her children well and that they would grow up to be good citizens. She looked out of the window, at the sun over the land. It was a good land, and vast. A land to breathe in. But she was warmed not by the sun but by the thought that throughout the school and throughout the land all children, all men and all women were being taught with the same faith, with variations of the same procedures. Each according to his age group. Each according to his need.
She glanced at her watch....
It was 9:23”.
A black principal, couldn’t have guessed that.
You know a guy is in trouble when the only place he can go is to grade schools, because everyone over the age of ten knows him for who he is.
Shildren! you vill respect and salute der pressident! heil hussein!

Just one week no more we dont want the little mushheads remembering any of this stuff, so very American of them.
This is obvious child abuse. Someone call the DFS on these so-called “educators”.
thank you! i’ve been looking for the name of this for a while.
I was going to say like praising the Klan on MLK day, but same concept.
Third graders used to praise Hitler a lot too. Same with the third graders in North Korea. They just love and adore Kim Jong-un.
The school principal is not black. The author of this disgraceful sop to da massa is black.
Jeb? Jeb was long out of office when BO seized control.
Let’s not be hyperbolic.
