So it turns out that the "incident" occurred in February as part of a little medley to celebrate Black History Month..fresh off of the inauguration of the nation's first black president.
Quote:
The controversy grows out of a school assembly during Black History Month in February, when gripes about the freshly inaugurated president were still mostly hushed.
That month, a group of smiley and fidgety students at B. Bernice Young School sang a medley of two short songs praising the president.
The first song begins, "Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama/He said that all must lend a hand/To make this country strong again."
The second one was set to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and included the refrain, "Hooray, Mr. President."
While the performance is seven months old, the outrage is new and came about because of the discovery of a YouTube video.
It's been fodder for conservative opinion leaders such as columnist and blogger Michelle Malkin and Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck.

I take back calling the teacher incredibly stupid or suggesting a reprimand.
Next February, if you dare to acknowledge Black History Month in a school assembly, just dont have kids sing about Obama...and be careful how you even include Obama's name when discussing the achievements of African-Americans or it will be twisted into "indoctrination." Stick to George Washington Carver....kids love peanut butter!
The bloggers attempting to make this anything bigger should still get a life.
