People seem to forget that Barach Obama is not a candidate....he is Our President; it is ok to teach school children to have respect for the President of the United States of America. When I was in school the picture of the President was on the wall next to the American flag in every classroom I ever attended and we were looking at it along with the flag when we said the pledge.
He isnt running for office.....he doesnt have an opponent. He is the President of the United States of America...not of the democrats or of the republicans but the American People.

picture next to the flag and a
song are two completely different things. you would have been outraged if you saw a video like this about George Bush. you cannot even come close to making a good argument supporting this freakish behavior by this teacher.
