Excuse me, I need to go teach my kids how to sing something oppressive about someone important. How about ro the tune of the itsy bitsy spider...They're homeschooled, after all...
Mental P Mama: It looks like partisan politics to me, but I am betting this teacher had good intentions.
Carolina: You are close! It was back in February during Black History Month. If I were a teacher and I had to think of an African American who has accomplished a lot to hold up as an example, I would probably choose Pres Obama too. The mistake she made was incorporating inappropriate partisan politics into it - "Hooray Obama" for example.
Now that is scary. Geez I'm just wondering what the hell would happen here in the UK if a school teacher was teaching the kids to sing about Gordon Brown! :D

PG: Do kids even learn the real words to the Battle Hymn of the Republic anymore, or have those words been deemed inappropriate?
Good grief.
I expect he was visiting this school and they were practicing a welcome song?

Not right at all.
And I'd go with George Washington Carver, myself, but I've always been partial to peanut butter, so I'm prejudiced.
