“The principal of a New Jersey elementary school where young students were videotaped singing the praises of President Obama is making no apologies for the videotape and says she would allow the performance again if she could, according to parents who spoke with her Thursday night,” Fox News is reporting.
“Parent Jim Angelillo said” Dr. Denise King, the principal of B. Bernice Elementary School, “told him the lesson was merely part of Black History month, and not an attempt to indoctrinate students, as critics have charged.”
Fox News goes on to illustrate their hate mongering by claiming that B. Bernice Elementary school is some sort of brain washing camp, because the teacher and principal there talk about and post pictures of the current President.
A practice that is done across many, many, many schools across the nation for a very longtime. It was done when Reagan was in office, Bush Sr., Bill Clinton, Bush Jr. and now Obama, but Fox News never criticized any of the other President’s pictures before this instance.
Fox News should read a little Huffington Post:
“Back in 2006 children from Gulf Coast states serenaded First Lady Laura Bush with a song praising the President, Congress, and Federal Emergency Management Agency for their response to -- of all things -- Hurricane Katrina. The lyrics were as follow:
“Our country's stood beside us People have sent us aid. Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade. Congress, Bush and FEMA People across our land Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!
“The event took place at that year's White House Easter Egg Roll and included roughly 100 children from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.”
Fox News and the humongous conservative media movement have been beating the ridiculous claims of indoctrination for a long time now.
They like to forget that one of their own was praised also and for something he had failed miserably on, of all things. Not one Democrat or liberal made a fuss, not one liberal or Democrat yelled wolf.
But we all know Republicans are not Democrats. Democrats have a respect for the Presidency that the Republicans just do not. Republicans believe that only a Republican President is to be respected, as can be seen by the actions of their hero Joe “You Lie” Wilson, someone that has screamed wolf many times in his career.
This is another embarrassment for anyone that supports the ridiculous claim that Obama is trying to indoctrinate children. You should be embarrassed, but why do I think you are not. You should be embarrassed by your baseless hatred of Obama but I am sure you are proud to be the idiotic tea partier that you are.
“mmm, mmm, mm”, “hip hip hooray” were a couple of things that the “should be embarrassed” are complaining about. Along with that are lyrics that praise Obama’s achievements as a black man, and Obama’s achievement based on equality. These lyrics that were meant to be for Black History Month, are not indoctrination.
Fox News and the conservatives are now trying to make the principal of the school their next target. A black principal that is supporting activities for Black History Month, claiming that she is a “fan” of Obama’s and is responsible for this song to have been presented as part of the activities of Black History Month.
Why does the right then wonder why the left calls them racist, when you ignore the children singing praises of the white W. and get your conservative panties in a bunch over the singing praises of the black Obama for Black History Month?
And then when it is pointed out that you (the conservatives are wrong once again) you do not come out against such ridiculous accusations, but try to find a way to be right. But you can’t be right, when you are wrong.
Fox News reported, “In November, the 9,700-plus residents of Burlington, N.J., a Philadelphia suburb, voted overwhelming for Obama, who received 3,285 votes to Sen. John McCain's 1,308.”
Could it be that most parents in this school district don’t care that a black President was praised for his achievement during Black History Month?
Could it be then that all the conservatives of the rest of the nation need to mind their business and let the local government deal with it?
Could it be that the conservatives are just being their usual Hippocratic self?
Could it be that this accusation, like most of their accusations, is another attempt to see just what they can get away with in respects to spreading their “Hate Obama” agenda?
