I didn't see where they were being made to pledge allegiance to Obama. Just that the teacher projected his image next to the flag during the Pledge
of Allegiance.
He goes on to say they are facing Obama's picture and not the flag.
Even though he previously stated they were side by side. So how can one tell?
Sounds more like an overzealous teacher than anything else, and the poster is just looking for excuses to panic.

Perhaps the lines between public schools and private schools like jesus camp are blurring all the time and the conditioning of children through the hysterical idolising of figureheads by agenda driven individuals is a stark reality.

Here is a link to a daycare like program, not saying its anything but i wouldn't be surprised a few schools are doing this.

in all of my school days we had huge pictures of the current POTUS right next to
the flag. I must agree that if this image only comes up during the pledge it is inappropriate, but remember the way the nation "worshiped" JFK?

What is the difference between "Obama-mania" and "Beatlemania"?
My point regarding the "Elvis" worship is that it still goes on today and we don't have crocodile tear threads being started about how this is dangerous to our youth or Country.
Has anyone come up with a name for those of you that just hate anything Obama? Is it just going to be too hard to accept that we might have another Washington, Lincoln, or name who you think was a great President in history?
The two party system being to blame? At what point of history did you think this arose? The Federalist and anti-Federalist were the two parties fighting over the Constitution. Two parties responsible for writing it. Soooo...no idea what your point was there.
People seem to admire whomever and for whatever reasons they personally have. For you to judge who is "worthy" for admiriation is not only naive but ignorant. I obviously admire Learned Hand and people like James Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, John Marshall, Sting, Andrew Llyod Weber, MLK, Obama, Jimmy Carter, Gorbechev, ChurchHill, Blair, Reagan,
Gary Sinese, Kevin Spacey, Jesus, and Mortensen.......who are you to judge which people are worthy of praise?
Obama would not approve of anyone saying the pledge to him. It is ridiculous to even think that.
To my other friend....keep tabs on my posts every now and then during the Obama administration and you will find that I will have no problem in characterizing Obama even handedly. Right now I am pumped and impressed........ and though some of you who never lived during the cold war have no idea what I'm talking about here but, this war on terrorism is nothing compared to the fear some of us lived through when we thought that the Soviets were going to nuke us all in our sleep at any moment. The missle v missle shield confrontation that has been seemingly resolved between Russia and US, makes me feel alot better. so put the check in the first box for Obama there.

weak....had nothing to do with the fact that he was one of the few competent contenders, A good speaker, charasmatic with a likeable demeaner. Not to mention quite humble and not full of himself. unlike previous president who stated that he believed his decisions were the will of God.
All this hype about obama, there is always gonna be some crazies out there, maybe in this case its the principle of the school. Obama doesn't hold himself in this regard. Bush was more likely to have requested something like this IMO

This thread made me think of this video I stumbled across from youtube. It doesn't actually depict "Obama Worship" in the way that was described in
the link from the OP, but this is sort of the pre-election theme I saw from many and still continues now. This school was in NC somewhere, but was
apparantly aired on Swedish TV. It's a school teacher asking her class about who they support for the election. All the kids were also asked to give
a reason for why they supported that candidate. Of course all the kids who supported Obama got approval, but the kids that had supported McCain were
sort of mocked by the teacher.

Thank You! My sentiments exactley. My son is in kindergarten and I was floored the other day when he came home from school. He didn't say much but my wife knew I would be hot.
His whole class cut out "pre-fab" Obama pictures and pasted them together to bring home!?!?! This thing was BIG, and I wanted to puke.
What do 5 year olds know or need to know about politics??
I don't recall ever in my school days making any "art" projects that depicted the President. Not Carter, Reagan, or Bush Sr. I agree that he is being held up as some sort of saviour or even better "idolized"
How is it the school districts place to "push" something like this on our children?

I completely understand what you mean in this post, but what is disturbing about this "Obama Worship or mania" is that people are just blindly putting him into god status. The difference between Obama and Elvis, the Beatles, Thomas Jefferson, Justin Timberlake, and so on is that those other people contributed something that made them earn their iconic status. Obama came out of thin air, only did little over a 100 hours in the Senate, was put into messiah status the moment he won an virtually unopposed victory by becoming a senator. During the election for Senate for Illinois, Obamas original opponent was more popular and a scandal at the right time happened so that the other guy dropped out then suddenly the chicago media is calling this man the next president of the united states and got depicted as our savior. The only thing the man has contributed is that he is well spoken enough to say the words people want to hear and that he is the first black president.
