Parental Outrage Forces Houston School To Drop Pro-Obama Chant

We read:
"Just last week The Blaze brought you the story of Tipps Elementary School in Houston that sent kindergarteners home with an assignment to learn a poem that lavished praises on the president as part of Black History Month.

An outraged parent sent a copy of the poem/song, and the memo attached to it, to syndicated talk show host Joe Pagliarulo. Pags (as he is known to his listeners) broadcast the story on the radio last week and generated considerable interest — and anger — from parents and citizens whose tax dollars fund the Tipps Elementary School.

The school’s principal did not respond directly to inquiries from The Blaze or Pagliarulo, but progress has been reported. Yesterday we received a copy of a letter sent to parents from the kindergarten teacher, Debra Thornton. The note read:

"Although you have indicated that your child will not be participating in the Black History program, I wanted to take this opportunity to clarify some misinformation you have received.

Since you received this preliminary selection, Ms. Reid has had the chance to review all the performance selections by all grade levels. Those kindergarten students with parent permission to participate will be doing a recitation of a selection from the book by Michelle Cook, Our Children Can Soar, A Celebration of Rosa, Barack, and the Pioneers of Change, instead of the preliminary selection that was sent to you.

Nothing in the original memo mentioned that this was a preliminary selection. And the note also states that all kindergarteners will be required to learn it, not just those participating in the program.

I'm sure they'll continue the brainwashing, just be a bit more subtle from now on. Parents remain vigilant, the child you save may be your own.

True and well said Anon 3:31. Leftists never stop trying.

I must be getting old, because i remember a time when Texas, and the rest of the South, were the most patriotic places in this country. They were places that stood firm when it came to traditional American values. People like these school officials would never have gotten into positions of power and authority.

WTF has happened? Have that many northern liberals moved south as to have changed the whole culture? Have Texans not been paying attention while their state has become Mexas? Must that old saying be changed to, "The South Will Never Rise Again"? Pathetic.
