Remember back in September when the right-wing completely freaked out over “SHOCK VIDEO[S]” of elementary school children singing songs about President Obama as part of Black History Month activities? Conservatives, including Fox News hosts, declared that the videos, in the words of Glenn Beck, show “indoctrination” that “should horrify the American people.”
I can only hope for their sakes that none of those people were watching Bill O'Reilly tonight:
O'REILLY: Now the mail. Got a nice note from Terry Cash, who teaches phys ed at the J.F. Burns school in Kings Mills, Ohio. Kids in Terry's class are big on the Factor Word of the Day, “pernicious” being one of their favorite, and of course, the students are not pernicious. Good job, guys, that was very cute.
While O'Reilly spoke, Fox News aired a photo of the teacher with her elementary school students, who are holding signs that say “Pernicious Free.”
Somehow, I doubt conservatives will be comparing this teacher to Castro or Mao.
