The Burlington Township S.D. response on the ObamaHymn (Copy-edited.)

I haven’t been paying that much attention to this “Hymn to Obama” thing – but, ye gods and little fishes: surely they can find a Superintendent of Schools with a working grasp of the English language. I couldn’t stop wincing.  And eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore.

Mind you, the explanation is still exceptionally mendacious.  But at least now it’s a lot more grammatical about it.

Dear Burlington Township Families:

Today we became aware of a video that was had been first placed on the Iinternet which has been and later reported in by the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity This took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to as part of our honoring the contributions of AfricanAmericans contributions to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors, and recognizes those all who serve our country. Both tThe recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.

If you have anyone has any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me either myself, or Dr. Principal King, Principal of B. Bernice Young School, directly.

Sincerely,

Signature of Dr. Christopher M. Manno

Dr. Christopher M. Manno,
Superintendent of Schools

  1. This guy is taking the same approach as ACORN, attacking the messenger and not the message itself (re: “unauthorized recording”). It’s despicable.

    My message to politicians of both parties: hands off our kids and stay out of our schools! If God isn’t good enough you sure as hell aren’t either!

  2. Moe,
    Are the revisions yours? If so, you’ve beclowned yourself. The worst is the use of “myself” in the last sentence. Look up the correct use of the reflexive pronoun.

    P. S. The hymn to Dear Leader is an abomination for so many reasons.

  3. I myself was going to correct your misuse of “myself”; however, I see that Chuck has already done so. Kudos for admitting your error to us and to yourself. Everyone makes mistakes.

    None of this obviates the accuracy of your basic point, i.e., most educrats cannot write or speak clearly. They can’t help it. They have spent so much time learning how to say nothing that they can no longer say anything at all.

    1. No worries, Steve: as I noted over at RS, when you write a post like this it’s practically *guaranteed* by the karmic balance of the universe that there’ll be some issue of this sort. The trick is just not to *care* too much. 🙂
