We colored pictures of Reagan when I was a kid.

I wouldn't respond either if my name was Dick Organsack.

They just need to have a 'Choose Life' coloring day to balance it out.

"I was mad", the second grader told Talk of the Sound. "I wanted McCain to win".
You'd have to be mad to want Angry McInsane/Sarah Failin to win.

I think this crosses an uncomfortable line from learning about American History to being asked to take a side in political debate.

Why? Cause you drew pictures of the president in class? So what?

When I was in 2nd grade we had to draw pictures of black heroes during black history month. One kid used a black crayon.

What debate? The coloring was for the inauguration. The issue was decided by the people long before this coloring assignment.

The one picture in particular looks very very much like a campaign button. it isn't celebrating the office of president, but the person who just won the presidency.

Yeah, but it was about the inauguration. I could see the issue if it was about the election, but there's not much debate about the fact that he's our president.

No, having students color pictures of our new president is not "going to far." If that's going too far, perhaps teachers shouldn't be allowed to even mention B. Hussein O.'s name in a classroom setting, since their tone of voice will indicate their evil unionized liberal commie Islamofascist support of president B. Hussein O. After all, every time one uses B. Hussein O.'s name in anything but a totally robotic neutral tone isn't one betraying one's liberal bias? Ridiculous.
You're all full of shit...

How in the fuck do you know this from the minuscule obviously slanted information presented in the article?

Nothing wrong with this. I assume the teachers had the kids drawing GW the last 8 years.
Wait, Obama isn't really brown is he?

No. But the "Students for Obama 2008" is clearly a campaign reference. I think this crosses the line.

I think it was the "Student for Obama" that was the problem.
Not all students were for Obama.
Though I suppose if the students were given a choice of what to color that would be fine.
Maybe they could draw "Student for McConnell" too.
Or they could do Palin and color with lipstick.

Ok, I just did a quick search and found that the company that issued the coloring pages received the artwork and permission from the Obama-Biden t-shirt store. I'm more inclined to agree with you now in that they crossed a line, but it was a very silly line and they only just barely crossed it.

I agree that it's a silly line and it was barely crossed, but it was crossed, in my opinion, and we have to be careful when teaching kids how to think we don't teach them what to think.

Good point, and I think you're right. I don't think anyone was truly hurt by this, but good on the kids that raised their voices in some opposition. It ultimately lead to an even more important lesson in the end.

I had an administrator whose name was Richard Haycock when I was in school. We all called him Straw Balls.

Where does the constitution say "separation of state and state"? They drew a picture of the president, I wouldnt give a fuck if it was W as he WAS a president. This is a non-story that is being made into a mountain so butthurt fundy/republican pricks have something to bitch about to rally the base.

if a lesson is all these kids are getting in their end, that makes this actually an above average school experience.

Who cares who a second grader thinks should have won the election?
This is a good chance to teach kids about how life isn't fair, and how to deal with disappointment.

Unfuckingreal.

Maybe we could get McCain to teach their class. That way they'd learn to be careful what they wish for.

He's the President, like it or not. If this had been assigned to the children BEFORE he was elected I could see how some people might whine, as long as there weren't McCain pictures to color as well.
Or are you suggesting that elementary schools should teach children not to respect the President? Should they have given them a "Students against Obama" coloring page as well and told them to select one?
Why not give an option to burn the flag on a daily basis instead of saluting it then?
I am not sure where you went to school, but my elementary school indoctrination was always pro-America and pro-President, no matter who the president was at the time or what shameful things my country was responsible for. I may not now agree with everything they taught me, but the fundamental nationalistic brainwashing was started at an early age. How can anyone be surprised at this?

I've always been told (especially over the last 8 years)that one salutes the uniform, not the individual wearing it.
If that has changed just because the man in the uniform has changed, I guess we know just how shallowly that river of patriotism runs.

The state must start early. Left and Right want everyone more dependent on the power of the state.
