Well, I live in PG County, MD. If you saw the idolatry going on around here (in both private and public schools, oh, by the way), you might be a little less skeptical.
My daughter who attends a public HS (after 9 years of private school and 1 year of homeschool) has reported some amazing things to me...to include teachers yelling at her, teachers challenging her to public debates...principal giving 15-20 minute long announcements extolling the virtues of THE ONE™©®...yeah, hearing about this in a first grade classroom is all too believable to me.
Oh, and by the way (in case you're wondering), she is a FReeper and she wore her Nobama button the first day back in school after the inauguration.
