Young elementary students were taught and required to sing “Obama songs” in school. One song that the children were taught quotes directly from the spiritual "Jesus Loves the Little Children," though Jesus' name is replaced with Obama's: "He said red, yellow, black or white/All are equal in his sight. Barack Hussein Obama." When asked about this the school superintendent had this to say "The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized," wrote Christopher M. Manno, superintendent of Burlington Township School District, in a statement to parents. What? It shouldn’ t be taught in the schools – I don’t care what president they’re singing about. Would you have approved if the lyrics were "Bush loves the little children"? No politician anywhere should glorify himself in kids' songs, nor should religious songs be forced upon those of differing religions or the lack thereof, but I seriously doubt the Prez had anything to do with this obvious right-wing propaganda. Folks, there are always going to be people making up nonsense to hassle those who disagree with them. I suggest we don't listen to the nonsense and focus on the issues.
