The Kentucky State Choir conference gathers at the Louisville, Kentucky Hyatt hotel each year. The video shows 1,000 high school students standing on different levels of an 18-story hotel singing the Star Spangled Banner.

I had to go to another website to find out that the singers are the Kentucky State Choir and the hotel is the Louisville Hyatt. What is interesting is that, on Icanhascheezburger.com, (1) it is beautiful and (2) the number of dislikes is staggering--1595 dislikes to 2436 likes. I'm sorry, but I think that is sick, and a horrible indicator as to the health of this country.

Why are high school students at a hotel?

[Organic Panic]

They were allowed to sing the national anthem in English? No Arabic or Spanish? They weren’t arrested? I guess the lefties haven’t made their inroads in Kentucky. I’ll go look for property there.

A former Guyer High School choir director has pleaded guilty to having an improper relationship with a student, according to county officials.

Michael Paul Pricer, 36, was sentenced to community supervision for 10 years and must pay a $1,000 fine, complete 200 hours of community service and serve 30 days in Denton County Jail, according to a plea agreement with the Denton County District Attorney’s Office on June 19.

Denton police began their investigation into Pricer after a former student’s parents reported their daughter was involved in a sexual relationship while Pricer was still employed with the Denton school district, according to an arrest affidavit.

give it about 35 seconds to get going

Can’t believe the lefties allowed that. Isn’t it racist to be patriotic now?

[VanDeKoik]

Bunch of racist brats.

What if a Mexican or Muslim was walking by?!?!

HATE CRIME!!!

[Jack Hydrazine]

Just think if the song had been, “God BlesS America”!

What, there is now a ban on high school students staying in hotels? Most high schools have a senior class trip sometime during the year. Or, perhaps they were entered in a national competition. There are many trips made by high school students during the year, even camping trips with their teachers.

OMG was that beautiful!

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the connection between a high school choir teacher in Denton, Texas, having an "improper relationship" with a student and a state convention of high school choirs in Kentucky, unless you are saying that all high school choir teachers have sexual contact with their students.

That would seem to be a mighty broad brush.

Parents should NEVER trust their kids with public school employees, ever!

[GeronL]

disgusting

[petitfour]

Oops. My mama failed me as she was a public school teacher. I was alone with so many public school teachers, I am scarred for life. Lol. My children have been left with public school teachers a time or two. This past year, my concern was more with the private Christian school personnel. You must be vigilant with all persons your children are around.

[GeronL]

Times have changed a lot.

Schools are the pervert, child molesting centers of the country now.

[JW1949]

The ratio of dislikes is expected. The nation is nearly dead and gone.

Trust nobody.

A trip! With students! Disgusting?

Measuring along several biome zones:

Taking on-site notes:

Rough urban kids who have never been on a nature trip learning what an environment IS firsthand, not just by reading the 2 paragraphs in a book. Learning to appreciate their fellow earth denizens. After the trip, one girl, upon learning that Diamondback terrapins were endangered in this area, told me that she was inspired to go with her father back to the park where they had collected a baby terrapin and gave it back.

Yup, totally disgusting.

“Parents should NEVER trust their kids with public school employees, ever!”

I stopped calling government schools “public” schools about two years ago. I call them what they are....government schools. Let’s get realistic, the same government workers who are in charge of your local DMV are, in effect, teaching our young people. *shudder*
