    I think watching/discussing/studying the inauguration is perfectly legitimate. It's an amazing event, regardless of who is being inaugurated. It really displays the best of our system of government and reminds us all that we are incredibly fortunate to live in this country.

    This year's inauguration was quite literally a first and to NOT teach students about why it's so important on so many levels would make little sense.

    All that being said, I am disturbed by the notion of pledging allegiance to ANY president's image. Besides the obvious Orwellian overtones of Big Brother watching over the little ones, it's just un-American to celebrate the man over the country, especially during something that's ostensibly about pledging allegiance to the flag that represents the best of the country. Our country is about unity based in common cause, "E Pluribus Unum" and all that, not celebrating personality over substance. Ironically, I think Obama would be the first to agree with me on that and say that this type of thing is inappropriate.

    In a separate but related point, I also am opposed to the pledge itself, for its similarly creepy Orwellian tones, but that's another thread for another day...

      You make some good points, teachers should not be so fanatical that they impose there fandom upon children. Obama is only a man just as Bush (W) is.

        Odd, I don't recall any school children being instructed to sing

        a "Hail to Bush" song...

        No "Bush gonna save us" lyrics...

        Nope. Always the kneejerk attempts at moral equivalency.

        No workee.

            No workee, eh, Cal. Give me a break. I guess the Religious Right sees only what it wants to see as well. Anyone who worships or deifies a politician is an idiot.

                Pitiful mz the pussy. That isn't a school. That's a eh... Christian church gathering? I reject that too, the teaching of kids

                to group idolize people.

                But in a public school setting, that is atrocious. Parents KNOW when their kids are in "Jesus Camp".

                But parents HAVE to send their kids to public schools by law, unless they are home schooled or go to a

                charter school.

                The NEA and all the state orgs of the teachers unions across the country, are sold out to the Dem party.

                And, liberals are all too often walked through the doors of college classes with approval, while conservatives

                have to parrot the all too common liberal hate verbage, or their grades suffer, and they are weeded out if at

                all possible.

                Been there myself, though that was a long time ago now...

                but there are plenty of that still happening.

                  That may be the funniest/most paranoid thing I have read in a long, long while.

                    Thanks for the informative and disturbing post T. I have seen this type of behavior from many liberals. Idolizing. Worship. It's scary. I've never seen anything like it. Just keep passing on this quality information and we will keep spreading the word. The truth shall prevail.

                                    hey DH, if you're in Santa Monica, we definitely need to "hook up." I'll show you the time of your life, sweetheart.

                                    I don't swing that way. However, I will "hook up" with your new bride if you don't mind? 😉

                                      So, mz the pussy, you were a Republican, who disagreed with your leftist politcally oriented profs?

                                      Or, you were obviously? always a flaming liberal, and you had no problem at all.

                                      I think the latter, and you don't have a clue about what I said and how often it happens...

                                        Thanks for the informative and disturbing post T. I have seen this type of behavior from many liberals. Idolizing. Worship. It's scary. I've never seen anything like it. Just keep passing on this quality information and we will keep spreading the word. The truth shall prevail.

                                        Thanks Diehard, I think the last time a nations youth were endoctrinated to this type of behavior was in this video.

                                          No, jackass, we discussed Chemistry in Chemistry class and Psych in Psych class. Not politics.

                                          If you take a f-ing politics class, expect political discussion.
