Two Florida school officials won't go to jail for praying

If they had to come in and sing that song every day, then yeah, that would be brainwashing.

Yes. That too would be bad. But, the point is that while the method and topic swirls around, the political message and its daily persistence remains the same. In my day it was nuclear proliferation, and mutually assured destruction. For kids today its global warming, and social justice.

Would we be watching this tape and hearing all about it if the subject was Martin Luther King Jr? What about all the other Black historical figures that they could have done a song about to learn about during black history month?

No. That would be appropriate. I wish there were a song about MLK, and some of the other notable black heroes. I guess the other subtlety here is that they take popular Christian kid songs and alter the lyrics, which 1) becomes leftist propaganda, and 2) mentally associates Obama with the original songs subject. It's no longer "Jesus loves me", it becomes "Barrack Obama loves me". Dr. King is a historical figure who has become considered a great influence. While, President Obama, being the first non-white president is noteworthy, he hasn't yet earned his wings as an American hero. Tripling the deficit, while watching revenues plummet by 60% doesn't qualify as brave until we actually pull out of the nose dive and get control of our spending and rebuild a thriving economy.

This is pure cult of personality adulation. Set your clock back 8 years and ask how people would have reacted had there been kids singing the GWB song in any public grade school.

Also, there are far many more historical black hero's that truly deserve to be studied by school children.
