ObaEducation and Dear Leader rotgut reaches the government classroom in a Chicago way that would make Mao give a big, bad breath, toothy grin. (Hat Tip – Michelle Malkin)

From Newrochelletalk.com:

Students at an elementary school in New Rochelle, NY, a largely Democratic suburb of New York City with a City Council and School Board dominated by Democrats, were recently assigned an in-class assignment to color in drawings of Barack Obama to mark the occasion of the inauguration of the 44th President. The drawings depicted Obama in various heroic poses, flags waving in the background, but one drawing went beyond adulation into overt political activity disguised as a pedagogical exercise. The drawing is a campaign button, in the center of a circle Barack Obama is smiling surrounded by another circle with the words “Students for Obama 2008″.

Do public school employees cross the line with this sort of thing?

At least one student objected but her concerns were ignored.

“I was mad”, the second grader told Talk of the Sound. “I wanted McCain to win”.

New Rochelle Superintendent of Schools Richard Organisciak, an Obama supporter, did not respond to emails requesting comment.

Students for Obama, eh? Why does that remind me of Algore’s “No controlling legal authority” line?

I assume that voter registration cards were included with the coloring paper. After all, Dems can never register enough illegal voters. And while there will always a limitless supply of dead and illegal alien voters, you can never start too early with these crumb-crunchers and teaching them their “civic duty” to vote early, often and between recess and lunch.

Coming to a government school near you…(assuming it has not already arrived)

Child abuse at it’s worst.

Best comment: (from Mr. Smarterthanyou at Gateway Pundit)

This is affirmative action in action.

This woman probably doesn’t have a 3 digit IQ.

But I bet she has tenure.

UPDATE: Michelle Malkin reports that the Cumberland County Superintendent is investigating this.
