49. Then the entire population of the United States has a "sick mind." Come on. The teacher got caught
up in the excitement of the first black president.

People who see such sinister intentions in innocent deeds are truly sick.
Using the word "indoctrinate" in place of "teach" doesn't change the facts nor the intent of the teacher.
Neither does using the word "worship" in place of "admire" or "be inspired by."
And who says that the children aren't also being taught to read.

And to answer your question, no I wouldn't like children to be taught a song that praises George W. Bush as part of Black History Month.
Would I want a teacher who did such a thing fired?
Of course not.
Nor would I think the teacher has a "sick mind" or was "indoctrinating" children to "worship" Bush.

Your fantastically hyperbolic way of interpreting this story reminds me of the sermons I grew up listening to.
I love the language and its orchestrated, emotional highs and lows.
But, its still bull shit.
