I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that today in the public schools of America, more children were molested or had inappropriate advances made to them by teachers than were asked by teachers to sing a dangerous song about the president bringing the people together.
Unless Obama was going to be visiting that school, I think the school time could have been better spent. Still, it does pose the question about how much unanimity there has to be around a political viewpoint--or figure--before it is acceptable to "indoctrinate" our grade school children with the typically broad generalizations that are appropriate for that age? Would you like to see schools stop with nice lessons about Lincoln and Martin Luther King?
