The superintendent of the Burlington Township School District is standing by its Obama praise song:
The superintendent of a New Jersey school system where elementary school students were videotaped singing the praises of President Obama stood behind his employees Wednesday evening, saying the principal and teacher did nothing wrong — despite growing anger from parents.
“There was nothing systematic or indoctrinating about this innocent classroom activity,” Burlington Township Superintendent of Schools Christopher Manno said during a school board meeting. “There was no intention on the part of the teacher to make any political statement or promote a political agenda.”
Manno specifically defended the school’s principal and the teacher who led the activity.
To do something this raw, Manno must feel very secure in his job. However, the state of New Jersey also says it is investigating.
