There's two very salient points here. One is that the teacher LIED about the kids writing the song, that's WAY not OK. The second is that political indoctrination has NO place in the classroom. If this was a teacher writing an anti-Obama song and having the kids sing it, you'd be carrying the lead torch for the mob. Just because you agree with the sentiment in the song, does not mean that it's OK for the teacher to do this.
