N.J. Principal Unapologetic for Videotape of Kids Praising Obama, Parents Say

The principal of a New Jersey elementary school where young students were videotaped singing the praises of President Obama is making no apologies for the videotape and says she would allow the performance again if she could, according to parents who spoke with her Thursday night.
Three parents told FOXNews.com that Dr. Denise King, principal of B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, N.J., defended the controversial performance, which was videotaped and posted on YouTube, when they approached her during a "Back to School" event.
Parent Jim Angelillo said King told him the lesson was merely part of Black History month, and not an attempt to indoctrinate students, as critics have charged. He said he believes teachers have the freedom to express their political views, but not in the classroom.
"Freedom of speech, not freedom to teach," Angelillo told FOXNews.com.
King has long been a fan of Obama, hanging pictures of the president in her school's hallways and touting her trip to his inauguration in the school yearbook.
Included in the full-page yearbook spread were Obama campaign slogans ("Yes we can! Yes we did!") and photos King took in Washington on Jan. 20, when she attended the inauguration.

“Oh no she dint. Oh NO SHE DINT!”
This gets better and better. Perhaps they can put this guy on the evening news.
Whether it’s grade schoolers or the unborn, left extremists have no shame
Arkansas school relived when they found out it wasn’t them.
She is probably a graduate of Chicago State University
Black women.
Let’s see: How does one spell it? S-T-U-P-I-D? The problem is that the schools are full of people like this, only they speak sotto-voce.
Well, aside from the fact that she looks like a homeless nutcase who lives on a park bench, she is clearly probably mentally and educationally outclassed by about 75% of the kids in the school. Pity she’s the one in charge.
Here’s another example where it’s is clear that the more education one has, the less common sense they retain.
I know this isn’t a universal truism, but I am amazed at how stupid some people with higher degrees are.
This lady’s job is to make sure the kids grow up to understand our funding principles and respect our nation. It is not her job to make sure they grow up to idolize one man, black or white.
Even Nina Easton stated this reminded her of Chairman Mao, before she sank back beneath the waves to push the idea that Republicans were guilty of something or another that equaled this travesty.
The left is so adrift right now. They haven’t got the slimmest connection to wholesome values.
If my wife and I could have kids, we could never consider government schools.
No, I can assure you it wasn’t here in Arkansas.
If it were, the ending might be slightly different...
It's the OTHER Dr. Keeeng (on right).
This stinks. One should not use kids 6-10 years old who have no ability to determine whether or not Obama is worthy of praise.
this is why my daughter will be going to nice small christian school in south suburbs of chicago.
