We are children of peace.
We are the children of the world.
We are children of dreams.
And we are the children of the world.
We are children of love.
We are the children of the world.
We don't want war anymore -- we are the children of the world. --------------------------------------------------
How adorable.
The "children of the world" of course often tend to be taken as child soldiers while the children of the USA do not.

Any questions?

The kids have no music at all. Just silence. What a bunch of melodramatic crap! That's what passes for "objectivity" at the Propaganda-Intelligencer. The kids have what they always had - Eminem on their MP3 players.

"I thought you had to be a teacher to teach?"

Seems like the situation was resolved in a satisfactory way to all.

You would never see a story like this about someone sympathetic to a pro-war stance...
but NOOooooo - an anti-war nutcase is a hero...

Please, she's not the only one out there able to teach music.
It's too bad she felt that pushing her worldview was more important than considering the thoughts and views of her students and their parents. It's about respect.
Let her entertain the fellow members of her granola-munching commune, I'm sure they'll appreciate her "art."

If those were the lyrics this woman was fostering to these kids, I don't see what the leftist fuss is all about...Seems to me any houseplant could do her job.
Liberals need to raise their standards a bit & stop seeking saint status from the less than mediocre.

If I had a child in that school i would have been complaining.
If these sobs do not like this country, let them go to where the people they support govern.
Mfs like this and the press are getting our guys killed every day by encouraging the terrorists to fight on.
I am sick and tired of this. If it makes me a ob. So be it.

She needs to get Laura Ingrham's book, Shut up and SingI don't know if anyone else is seeing this, because the source may be a local affiliate.
On FNC, they are running an advertisement where Ted Dansen, as "Becker", looks to audience and says, "Just shut up and watch".
No way this is a coincidence.

Of all the potential topics for children's songs, why does this person feel the need to stick war in their little minds? Seems kind of cruel to me. Why not sing songs expressing their hope they don't get killed in a car accident on the way home from school?
To: Orangedog
The kids have no music at all. Just silence. People writing songs that voices never shared, no one dared disturb the sound of silence???? Not all songs should be sung. Sometimes silence is golden.

The article does point out one very good thing : This all started from PARENTS COMPLAINING !! And only a few had to complain. It is funny how the libs praise those who speak out for their cause. But the street goes two ways, the liberals are finding that out and they hate it !!!

"'I feel I was being censored,' Mary told me yesterday."
Translation: She could no longer propagandize and indoctrinate her students.
