A traditional West African drum troupe played at the opening assembly, and students, parents and teachers sang both the Canadian national anthem and Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing , also known as the black national anthem.

Maryann Scott enrolled her two youngest children, a son who started junior kindergarten, and a daughter who started Grade 4 yesterday. Ms. Scott has two teenaged children who went through the public school system. “It failed them, and I knew right away this would be a good thing for my younger two,” she said.

“I think it's important that students know their history, and can learn about [black] leaders,” said Osbourne Wellington, whose 3-year-old son, Darius, is starting junior kindergarten

The Honorable Rev. Martin Luther the King had his FBI transcripts sealed for 50 years, and you know what? I'm going to live long enough to read them, and when I do, I'll have my cup of coffee in one hand, and this video of the "Black national Anthem" playing in the background. It's going to make for an interesting read... Even Satan himself would probably only have his transcripts sealed for 20 years!

That is MY dream. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

MLK was a communist. He was never about “equality of opportunity”. He was really about “equality of outcomes”.

It’s a “unity” thing! LOL! One tribe “unites” against the other tribes.

Yes, his communist handler and promoter was a man by the name of Stanley Levison. I imagine Mr. Levison also wrote the “I have a Dream” speech.

Yeah, sure it failed them. (rolls eyes). I'm sure the two teenagers were totally blameless.

MLK was a plagarizer and handled by communists.

I love “Lift Every Voice And Sing”. (It’s in our Southern Baptist hymnal.) But it’s not a national anthem and it pisses me off that it’s being used that way.

Afrocentrism is the pseudo-anthropology that claims much of what we know as history actually began with Africans. Even Henry Louis Gates has called it "voodoo."

I think the piece is mistitled, but that doesn't mean it won't be taught in this school.

I wonder how many tax dollars are being wasted propping up this charade. Leave whitey’s money out of it and I guarantee its a failure.
