Is This Appropriate In Schools

Has Obama Love Gone Too Far?

This video has been highlighted on the news recently.It is a song that is being performed in a New Jersey elementary school.  Has this gone too far?

While New Jersey is only a few hundred miles up the coast, this is also being introduced a bit closer to home in Howard county.  The right leaning (no sense in hiding it) blog by Brian Griffiths has obtained an email from a concerned parent. Apparently his first grade son was told to learn the words to the “Obama Song” and the parent had requested the lyrics from the school. You can read them after the jump.

But, is this appropriate for any school? For any elected leader? Where does it stop? Are we to sing the praises of Ellen Moyer, John Leopold, and Kevin Maxwell immediately after the Pledge of Allegiance?

What do you think? Please leave a comment! (Lyrics and email from Howard County Asst. Principal after the jump)
