Parents, outraged by Principal Greta Hawkins’ decision to ban the song, organized the protest and invited Rep. Bob Turner (R-NY) to attend (he’s running against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand). But the event, which was assembled to allow the children and families to make their opposition to Hawkins’ stance known, went terribly wrong when some adults chose to shout over the children in protest.
“You Republicans come go to a Republican area and do that, we don’t do that here,” proclaimed one of the counter protesters. “This is ridiculous, this is sad. This is so crazy. This is sad.”

Very disgusted by the behavior in this video. Yelling 'You're going to burn in hell' in the face of children is repulsive. While I support the mans right to be a jackass and voice opposition perhaps he could have at least let the children sing the song, and made his protest at a later time or at least only focus on parents/administrators. Stay classy.

Nice. Segregate political parties. Only Democrats get to use parks in democrat neighborhoods. Ugh.

I wanted to comment on it, too. But i find myself rather dumbstruck. What can be said about "adults" who would publicly scream at children singing a song about being proud to be an American.

Yeah I'm having trouble commenting on this one too. Just disgraceful.
I also find adults using children as political footballs and placing them in a situation to be open to such attacks, to be disgraceful as well.

I love America,
but America is like Jesus Christ,
its time to nail, America to a cross,
watch America bleed out a little,
then gather some firewood,
remind America of Joan Of Arc,
put America in a tomb.
Come Sunday,
we all can watch America rise again.
Or we could just accept people for what they are,
and accept its their right!

It is indeed their right, one does expect some common courtesy where children are involved though. Most people feel the same, thus the outrage every time something like this pops up. I disagree strongly with adults who use their children to make a point as well... regardless of that point.
They absolutely have the right to tell the children they will burn in hell, but should they? Self control and saving the argument for the other adults would have been much better IMO. The kids should have been left out of it all together though.
Since they weren't... the adults should have behaved like adults.
