N.J. Principal Unapologetic for Videotape of Kids Praising Obama, Parents Say
Foxnews ^ | 9/25/2009 | Staff

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.

No doubt she would be on her knees if given the opportunity.

Pathetic.

I’d be willing to bet that her contract won’t be renewed for the 10/11 school year.

I’m sure she had the students sing for George Bush too.

Thsi type of thing is wrong done EITHER way. Let’s not get kids involved in politics.....how about simply teaching the COnstitution for a change?

Then there is the little tidbit that she hasn’t voted since 2004 and has no political affiliation. . .of course she may have registered under a different name for the 2008 election.
