Tuesday, September 29, 2009 Obama Worship comes to Howard County

Well, it looks like the worship of his holiness Barack Obama has infected Longfellow Elementary in Howard County. See this email below, and get ready to be disgusted. Because no President, Republican or Democrat, should be glorified like this.

Hi everyone, below is the email that our son’s Assistant Principal sent us to let us know the wording of the Obama song that our son told us his class was instructed to sing last week…the teacher is part of the first grade team of teachers and is really nice, but this is not what we want our son doing at school or anywhere!

Any advice?

My daughter is both a public school and a Catholic school music teacher, grades K-12, in VA. I know that she is heavily pressured to include “diversity” in the songs she teachers. I’ll ask her about this and where these directives come from. I know that they have all kinds of associations and workshops. Somebody said on this forum that the author of that children’s book on Obama (who went to Harvard with him) also wrote one of the songs on the original tapes that surfaced.

I can tell you this: most music teachers do not have the time to compose stuff like this. These songs are being distributed through some network, and the teachers grab them as something “different”.

"AWESOME! So nice to see that the dumbing down of the American population has reached my home state (not that I am overtly surprised, but). Gotta love it"

I see this Obama worship cultism has reached my neck of the woods. I'm glad my kids are in private school. It can be difficult financially but at least they won't bowing down to the Dagon of Leftist America -- Barack Hussein Obama.

I’ll just add that I remember singing songs for a cause in school — in those days it was “War Bonds for our Soldiers”. Since I was only in 1st grade it came home like “Werbens for our soldiers” and my mother had to contact the teacher to find out what I was singing.

We learned enough songs for a whole program that we presented to the school and the parents after V-J Day. In fact, I thought that the War was finally over because our class was about to move to a new teacher and, it was our last chance to sing our songs because the new teacher wouldn’t know them!

However, with all that patriotic fever going on, we did not learn one song praising FDR or Harry Truman!

My wife's sorority sister teaches at that Wakefield school Obama did his national indoctrination speech at.

I asked her who provided the kid with the question on Afghans having free national health care. Was it a teacher or member of the Obama advance team. She wouldn't answer.

As someone who lives less than a mile from this school, this is why my son will attend private school.

This is from The Onion, right? They can’t be so dense as to think they can get away with this after that whole uproar a few weeks ago..

This is reality - not the Onion. Unfortunately. Michelle Malkin has it on her site now.

Call the school information office, Patti Caplan 1-410 313 6680 and ask her the name of the teacher who wrote the song with her class as an assignment, last year. Ask her about the purpose and how she thinks that this song meets that goal.

Let her know that this kind of indoctrination and hero worship is inappropriate in a public school.

Ask Patti Caplan, the school’s information officer, how she would feel if her child came home singing songs of praise to President Bush for keeping us safe from terrorism for eight years since the 9/11 attacks.

I called her. Her line was busy.

I left a message informing her I would be sending an email. The email asked if there is any truth to this “Internet rumor.”

I do not expect a response before nightfall
