I either read or heard that too.

Back in the day, we were discouraged from promoting a candidate while in class/school. Shouts and chants about JFK were frounded upon with threats of having to stay after school.

The reasoning was such, in those days, that such things interfered with our classwork.

I don't know the words but I must admit, it's a catchy tune. I sang to my husband... Mmm, mmm, mmm Barack Hussein Obama, he's better than yo mama!
Talk about taking the Messiah to next level.

I sit and drink Cerveza, as I worship Mother Theresa. Mmm, mmm, mmm.

In the meantime, the country is full of wingnuts throwing hissy fits about every little thing, and encouraging anti-government sentiment. It's really happening - unlike the fantasy conspiracy theory that you are spinning. When will you take that seriously?

So I take it support teaching children to worship a man who hangs out with criminals, tax dogers, lovers of abortion, racists and bigots? hussein obama is NOT a man to be respected let alone worshiped.

Thank God I got my choldren out of the public schools and away from the liberal indoctrination centers that USE children to further their agenda.

Well, perhaps you could correct that first paragraph somehow so that it would make some sense grammatically. But I think it would still be total hogwash.

And I fear for your children.

Singing a song about someone isnt' the same as worshiping someone. I don't worship Old MacDonald for example, no matter how nice his farm is.

I think part of the problem is that she used the "Jesus loves the little children" verse in it and replaced the part where they say Jesus, with Obama. I just think she's an over zealous Obamabot.

Default She RETIRED already.

Does anyone know the name of the teacher? We want to find out if she just happened to retire at the end of the school year this year, or whether she "retired" because they quietly got rid of her.

You should fear for everyone's children. And those spelling errors you mention; whose education system would you blame for the illiteracy in this country?
