Protesters come to NJ school over Obama song

2009-10-13

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. - About 70 protesters let their voices be heard outside a school in New Jersey where students sang praise of President Barack Obama.

Members of anti-tax Tea Party groups and others joined outside B. Bernice Young School in Burlington Township Monday to denounce what they believe was political indoctrination of students.

The school began getting attention from conservative commentators last month after a video surfaced of a group of second-graders singing a song that praised Obama last school year.

Protesters sang patriotic anthems and chanted slogans such as "Free children, free minds" and called for the principal to be reassigned.

#4 I see years of costly lawsuits school district's future; maybe Justice Dept involvement; a can of worms

that's fine. When school boards and taxpayers have to start thinking about the risk factors these assholes they don't vet before hiring pose, they might lean away from the rabid

#3 About the best this group of protesters can achieve is to get rid of the principal. The teacher who was stupid enough to put on this Mao-like worship-like singing has already retired. If the principal is dumped by the school board, I see years of costly lawsuits school district's future; maybe Justice Dept involvement; a can of worms.

#1 Obama's not sinister, he's merely comical.

The only groups on this planet who still rally behind him are afr-amers, Euro-nitwits and his union thugs at SEIU and UAW. The list of those who've dissed or ignored him includes King Fahd, Sarko, Gordon Brown, Putin, Ahmadinejad, Gen. McChrystal, Chavez, the partners of Government Sachs, and increasing numbers of his own party's pols, starting in Virginia and spreading as we get closer to Nov 2010.

In other words, no one who matters really cares, let alone respects, what he has to say any more. It's almost as if the more he talks, the less influence he has.
