Thread: Attention Nevada members...is this true ?

This seems WAY over the top to me. Can some Nevada members see if this is true.

My son, who is in 1st grade, came home yesterday saying that he didn't want to go back to school anymore. So I asked him why? He said that during the Pledge of Allegiance the teacher put up a large image of Obama next to the flag. I asked him if he was sure of this and I suggested to him that maybe the teacher just put up an 8x10 photo of the president. He said, "No, it is a large picture of Obama and when we are done Ms. **** turns off the image." I also asked if they did this for Bush last year? He again said, "No." This was my sons first day back to school since before Christmas, he was on a 5 week track break.

My wife volunteers a couple of days each week with helping out with my sons teacher doing various duties. She said that she would come in early this morning to see what was going on. She just got back and reported that this was true and then some. She said she waited out in the pod area and could see inside 3 of the 5 class rooms in this section of school. She said that when the kids stand each teacher flips on the classroom overhead and a full body image of Obama, with six U.S. flags behind him, comes up about 4 feet away from the flag that hangs on the wall. She said that the image has Obama staring straight at you with no facial expressions, just a serious look. I asked my wife if Obama had his hand over his heart? She said that she was so taken aback by this that she didn't see it. What is worse is she said that all of the kids in each class faced Obama instead of the flag that hangs in the corner.

What the heck is going on?

Guys and gals, I need some advise on how to approach this. I can be somewhat hot headed so I need to plan accordingly with what to say to the principal when we go in to inquire about this. I am sure I will be brushed off so what is my next step? Obviously it will be the school district but then who? ACLU, Veteran groups, Christian groups? Who would be interested in this vile activity?

This is happening in the Clark County School District here in Las Vegas, Henderson area

Sounds like something out of "1984"

lets call teh school district and ask! and ask and ask some more.

That is disgusting! Talk about brainwashing!

And to think that school employees sucumb to this kind of indoctrination. Totally biased on the other hand. They have no heart, they act like mindless automotons.

I think this belongs with the rest of the BS bogus emails floating around on the internet.

I may be missing something here, but isn't the President of this country and the flag representation of this country and presidents go hand in hand with the flag?.
Image of Bush and other presidents has never been displayed in the class room.
Teachers teach government and presidents represent our government and our country. I leaned about presidents in school.

It's sounds like communist countries that have pictures of Castro, Moa, Kim Yong il, Che, Stalin ect...

We don't pledge allegiance to a person, it's to the American Flag, which represents our Republic and UNDER GOD.

I wish Alan Keyes had won, but even if he did, I would not approve of this ritual they are pushing on the school children. Can these next 4 years go any faster.

I could see a list of Presidents (all 44) across the top of the blackboard, but to go to the extreme and make the kids turn to the picture(on an overhead for drama) of Obama and say the pledge is not the right way to say the pledge.

We don't worship a human being. That's idolaltry.

If true I would say this is Unconstitutional and a violation of the Pledge of Allegiance, which is to our Republic and not Dictator Obama.

If this is some type of email hoax, Snopes hasn't found it yet, nor has any other debunking site - yet.

I will call the school myself tomorrow morning and ask about it. Will update once I talk to someone there.
