It’s like something out of Red Dawn:
A parent in the Clark County School District of Las Vegas, Henderson area reported January 27th that his son, who is in 1st grade, came home yesterday saying that he didn’t want to go back to school anymore.
When asked why, the boy said that during the Pledge of Allegiance the teacher put up a large image of Obama next to the flag.
Thinking that the boy might be exaggerating, the man asked his son if he was sure, and suggested that by “large” he might mean an 8×10 photo of the president. The boy apparently said “No, it is a large picture of Obama and when we are done, the teacher turns off the image.”
The same thing was not done for President Bush last year.
After investigating this morning, the other parent reported that what the boy said was true.
At least three of the five classrooms have an overhead projector and as the children stand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, the teacher turns on the classroom overhead and a full body image of Obama, with six U.S. flags behind him, comes up about 4 feet away from the flag that hangs on the wall. The screen is apparently around five feet by six feet.
In the image, President Obama appears to be staring straight out with no facial expression, just a serious look. All of the kids in each class faced the President, instead of the flag that hangs in the corner.

This is as bad as the “Pledge” b.s. Maybe worse. This is just .. I heard part of this story but wasn’t sent a link to the whole thing. I just don’t know. Huh … where’s the ACLU? I thought they liked eliminating the worship of a god in schools.
I just read the updates the article author posted. I’m glad for the outcome but this never should have taken place. This is reminiscent of that school teacher who browbeat the children whose families were McCain supporters, esp. that Army man’s daughter. And people wonder why I homeschool. This is exactly one of those reasons. Teachers now days are allowed to add their own personal agendas into their teachings. They aren’t required to follow books or school board guidelines. And this is what happens.
I didn’t even see this happening, after Bush’s poll numbers went up after the 9/11 attacks. Yet these same Leftist teachers accused Bush of taking advantage of the 9/11 attacks, into “forming” a dictatorship.
How the heck is something like this okay?
This reminds me of the scenes of totalitarian governments of what Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy, North Korea, Red China, Soviet Russia, Communist Cuba, et al have all done. I wonder where the hell is the hypocrite Noami Wolf whom accused Bush of establishing a dictatorship, but never care to comment on something like this?
