A Youtube video of middle school students at a Kansas City charter school is making the rounds on the internet. The video shows the students speaking of what Obama has inspired them to become in a stepping routine. The teacher who organized the video has been suspended. What’s your take on the video – is this being blown out of proportion or do you feel that their routine is inappropriate?

IMHO:

1. The video is APPROPRIATE because it is EDUCATIONAL & INSPIRATIONAL TO BLACK MALES!

2. I hesitate to comment on information that provided “little source data/information”, as this article does. That said, I wonder why the teacher would subject herself to discipline? She could have done this at home! -SIGH-
