Parents of a local Houston school were not exactly thrilled when their kids in Kindergarten brought home a poem that glorified President Barack Obama. The students were told they had to learn the 'chant' that included wonderful themes surrounding the President such as "Who's going to answer our every call? &' 'Who do you know is the man?'. The school eventually backed down...what does Glenn think of the controversy?
"I don't know how our children survive going to school. You don't know what they're learning," Glenn said.
EVen though the school backed down and dropped the chant, one has to wonder what else is going on in school that parents are missing.
"These are the blatant things. What else is being slowly degraded in our values with our children every day, and we don't know it until it's too late? Try to have a discussion with a 20 something. Try. See what they know about our Republic," Glenn added.
The original letter said:
Team:Attached is a chant about President Barack Obama. All Kindergarteners will be required to learn the chant for the Black History program. Please write how many you will need. Keep one copy to practice with students at school.
Thanks,
