>>Last night Hannity was showing the clip, and this morning Glenn Beck is on a tirade (I thought I turned on our classical FM station but it turned out to be AM- hence Beck) about a second school, this one is SC I think, that apparently sang a praise song to Obama.<<

Rambi -

I've seen the clip of the North Carolina kids singing about Obama. They do talk about how "change has come" and the mention hope a lot. Then they get into some seriously socialist stuff like how education is key, and staying in school and working hard will enable them to help America become a better place.

Here's the link:

Not so terribly radical or liberal, if you ask me. But I don't see why schoolchildren have to sing about the President. It does strike me as a kind of political indoctrination, even if they are sticking to completely non-controversial ideas. I'm not sure I'm completely comfortable with that in a public school setting. But at least it wasn't required by the federal government.

I will say that when I was a child, we often had very pro-President messages being sent within the schools I attended, from Eisenhower through Nixon.

I have attended school presentations at my girlfriend's daughter's private school, and they talk about similar stuff, though without mentioning the President. They do mention God, however.
