  1. “He said red, yellow, black or white
    All are equal in his sight”
    That, uh, sounds disturbingly close to a certain beloved Sunday School song … I’d ask who they/he think(s) he is, but I think I already know the answer.
    P.S. Thanks for the birthday present!

  3. Fox this morning: “Parents up in arms after students taped singing praises of Obama at New Jersey elementary school”
    I love that phrase, “up in arms”. I wish in this case it had been used literally.

    “Alteredbeat” told FOXNews.com that he reached out to Carney-Nunes, who insisted that the program had been filmed in June as part of a Father’s Day tribute to President Obama. “The kids made up the songs on their own,” she wrote, according to the YouTube user.

    Bullshit.

  4. Still more fail:

    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.
    Three parents told FOXNews.com that Dr. Denise King, principal of B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, N.J., defended the controversial performance, which was videotaped and posted on YouTube, when they approached her during a “Back to School” event.
    Parent Jim Angelillo said King told him the lesson was merely part of Black History month, and not an attempt to indoctrinate students, as critics have charged. He said he believes teachers have the freedom to express their political views, but not in the classroom.
    “Freedom of speech, not freedom to teach,” Angelillo told FOXNews.com.
    King has long been a fan of Obama, hanging pictures of the president in her school’s hallways and touting her trip to his inauguration in the school yearbook.
    Included in the full-page yearbook spread were Obama campaign slogans (“Yes we can! Yes we did!”) and photos King took in Washington on Jan. 20, when she attended the inauguration.
    There also were photos taken at the school depicting students doing Obama-themed activities about their “hopes for the future,” featuring posters of Obama. According to the yearbook, students watched the inauguration in class.
    Parents said Elvira James, the teacher of the class that was videotaped, also seemed to be promoting Obama.
    “She praised him, she put pictures on the walls,” said Jim Pronchick, whose 8-year-old son, Jimmy, was in James’ class last year. “When he won (the election) they really went off.”
