Tuesday, September 29, 2009 Obama Worship comes to Howard County

Well, it looks like the worship of his holiness Barack Obama has infected Longfellow Elementary in Howard County. See this email below, and get ready to be disgusted. Because no President, Republican or Democrat, should be glorified like this.

Hi everyone, below is the email that our son’s Assistant Principal sent us to let us know the wording of the Obama song that our son told us his class was instructed to sing last week…the teacher is part of the first grade team of teachers and is really nice, but this is not what we want our son doing at school or anywhere!

Any advice?

AWESOME! So nice to see that the dumbing down of the American population has reached my home state (not that I am overtly surprised, but). Gotta love it.

Do you really need advice? Take your child out of that environment in any way you can. Otherwise, you face the prospect of them becoming brainwashed into a good Obama-youth.

I haven’t any kids yet. And, how the hell do you expect me to pay for private school, AND college AND be able to retire.

I’ll start them playing sports early, and give them the proper tutoring in the after school hours to deprogram them. Additionally, it’s always good to have allies on the inside of the enemy’s den.

Especially considering the fact that this country’s economy is on the long road to hell.

I want to know where these songs are coming from? Is this a curriculum that somebody from the WH, or the Obama team, is circulating amongst music teachers?

Ask the asst. principal to e-mail you the words to the songs/chants they had for President Bush so you can make sure that Bush didn’t get more accolades that obama is getting from the students. Oh, and I don’t really mean that as a sarcastic comment. When they don’t have a Pres. Bush song then scream DISCRIMINATION as loud as you can.

I would point out that YES I CAN is a campaign slogan and that is not appropriate. Also it is not appropriate to praise a President for with he WILL do or what he SAYS he will do. Maybe if there were real accomplishments which were universally agreed upon it would be closer to being ok. Though singing and chanting the praises of any living political person is really forcing the children to mouth a political opinion. I know we have the right to say what we think politically. Do we have the right to also NOT say what we disagree with? Can a public institution force political speech on our children and therefore indirectly upon US??

It was only a matter of time before this happened in my Socialist State of Maryland...

I also want to know where these are coming from and how coordinated it is and if it has ever happened before. Is there some site which has all these songs in one place so that we can see how many of them there are? Maybe we need a central place where people can report them. Is there even ONE Bush or Clinton song or chant?

I am hyperventilating! This clown has done NOTHING, not a damned thing, but these pathetic excuses for teachers are having young children sing his praises?

Let’s go back a few years, not many, really. After 70 years, thanks to Pres Reagan, the Iron Curtain came down. Did any teachers have their students singing praises of Reagan ?

Everyone says ‘Well, when it gets THIS bad (drawing a line in the sand), I’m pulling my kids out of public school’. But who actually does it?

Music teachers= NEA(national endowment for the arts)

It’s possible they were in on the propaganda that the NEA was attempting recently. Hadn’t thought about that, it would be worthwhile for someone in the new media(ie. breitbart, beck, fox,etc.) to check into... see what entities that campaign spread into.

Ping!!

We do & did. It shocked them when my husband calmly said. “If that is the case, please get the paperwork together we will be withdrawing him.”
