Moonbat Principal Forbids “God Bless the USA”
The National Anthem isn’t the only patriotic song that rubs moonbats the wrong way — they also have it in for “God Bless the USA”:
Greta Hawkins, principal of PS 90, the Edna Cohen School, won’t allow kindergartners to belt out the beloved Lee Greenwood ballad, also known as “Proud to be an American,” at their moving-up ceremony.
Five classes spent months learning the patriotic song, which skyrocketed in popularity after the 9/11 attacks and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.
It was to be the rousing finale of their musical show at the June 20 commencement. The kids, dressed up for their big day, would wave tiny American flags — which, as the lyrics proclaim, “still stand for freedom.”
But Hawkins marched in on a recent rehearsal and ordered a CD playing the anthem to be shut off, staffers said.
She told the teachers to drop the song from the program.
“We don’t want to offend other cultures,” they quoted her as explaining.
There you have it: progressive “patriotism” in a nutshell. Soon we will not be allowed to fly our own flag lest it “offend” our enemies who hate everything it stands for — because those enemies prominently include our liberal ruling class.
Officially, the song is banned because the inspiring lyrics “are not age-appropriate.”
But Justin Bieber’s flirty song about teen romance, “Baby,” was deemed a fine selection for the show. Hawkins had no problem with 5-year-olds singing lines such as, “Are we an item? Girl, quit playing.”
Hawkins has also tried to end the tradition of PS 90 kids reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing “America the Beautiful” each morning, but staff rebelled. She refuses to salute the flag or stand in respect of the ritual.
She has also denounced the school as “racist,” and has proclaimed,
“I’m black. Your previous principal was white and Jewish. More of us are coming.”
Thanks to Affirmative Action, she’s probably right.
On tips from Sean, G. Fox, Spider, Shawn, and Bill T.
The Moonbat Principal espouses a Moonbat Principle.
She sounds like a Jew Hater, Racist Black and a America Hater All In One..Typical Liberal Democrat!!!Phuck Her!
You can bet your life this product of affirmative action will be highly protected, not only by the communist-controlled teachers union, but also by the limp-wristed NYC schools chancellor, who BTW, is a close friend of the limp-wristed mayor of NYC, queen Bloomberg. And yes, the chancellor is also black.
But, according to the emails and tweets she’s getting, she may just have to pack-up and leave town. And, in a hurry!

What an insult to every member serving in the armed forces, especially our black enlistees.

Looks like offense is a one-way street for this woman. She is worried about offending others, yet has no problem offending the people that want to hear the song, or offending the children and teachers that selected and practiced this song.
OT but interesting.

Vile racist CVNT! People: Get these commie POS out of our schools!
Let the white flight begin.
“We don’t want to offend other cultures,” they quoted her as explaining.????
Aren’t other cultures here in America??? if we were in another country, would that (city/country/state….) consider “offending me” with one of their country patriotic songs??? I think not….. (also , to reason to go to other countries is to hear that music….
The previsious principal was Jewish. The present one is Black. In order to satisfy the minority quota thing, the new one will be a Jewish,black lesbian!
Parents need to get up and sing the song during the program. Show children America is not to be disgraced by anyone, not even an American teacher.
From the Daily News article:
“In January, she generated negative press again, with a highly unpopular bathroom policy that awarded students extra credit for not using the toilet.”
Huh???
This broad isn’t just a vile racist America hater, she is insane.
More of “us” are coming?
You mean dumb-as-a-rock, FULL of (*ahem!*) self-esteem, and proudly asserting I’m-the-center-of-the-universe-everyone-else-be-damned cultural sensitivity?
If that didn’t come from a ersatz “adult” we’d probably ascribe these words to some snotty-nosed, self-important pre-pubescent juvenile. However, on a psychological and emotional level, it still applies.
And these “people” arrogantly consider themselves the “betters” of the rest of society.
Wudda maroon…..
Care to guess the race/ethnicity of Miss Hawkins? I see one or more already have correctly done so.

HAD ENOUGH YET ? ? ?
It’s the peoples fault riffraff like this are running(ruining) our schools and brainwashing our children…..Wake up parents.
Ahhhh, diversity and affirmative action.
And I quote from a previous post long ago:
“Diversity should not be a goal, it should be a welcomed side effect. If diversity is a goal, then you knowingly and intentionally are bypassing more qualified individuals to get the ones with the characteristics you prefer”.
This is why we are circling the drain as a Nation.
And this is news because . . .
What we have here is just another anti-American, racist black, most likely a Louie Farrakhan follower. These targets are everywhere and are the enemy within.
The immediate solution available to every parent with a child in PS 90 is to pull the child from the school until this scum is removed by the district.
Do it now people or you are part of the problem.
Perhaps parents and their children should not attend this ceremony in order to show their feelings. They could meet in another location and sing whatever songs they like.
Now the principal is a victim, any bets on how long before the “racist emails” are proven to come from her own email account? – The most terrifying thing in the employment world – A Black Woman – impossible to fire and always a victim no matter how unprofessional and incompetent. I watched my old boss cower to a Jamaican Woman he paid over a hundred thousand dollars to do no work, rather than risk a lawsuit.

Police and education officials are investigating a series of racist hate mail sent to the controversial black principal of a Brooklyn elementary school, the Daily News has learned.
“You are a filthy, dirty, ugly subhuman gorilla,” reads one of the vicious letters sent to Greta Hawkins, the leader of PS 90 in Coney Island.
Hawkins has angered parents and teachers with a series of unpopular policies and for making racially insensitive remarks herself at a staff meeting in 2010.
In January, she generated negative press again, with a highly unpopular bathroom policy that awarded students extra credit for not using the toilet.
Then, this month she drew fire once more for refusing to let students sing the Lee Greenwood ballad “God Bless the USA” at graduation because she objected to the lyrics.
But even her harshest critics say that none of those actions are worthy of the sickening and racist hate mail Hawkins has received since November.
“Let’s hope that AIDS will do what sickle cell anemia failed to do, exterminate your whole simian race,” reads one of three horrifying letters sent to Hawkins at the A-rated school.
Another of the vile rants, which are scrawled in childish capital letters, reads
“N—– and their Jew commie bosses are the scum of the earth.”
Police are conducting an active, ongoing investigation into the noxious letters and Education Department officials are investigating the matter as well.
Hawkins did not respond to calls for comment.
Parents and staffers at the controversy-stricken school were shocked to learn of the hateful letters their divisive principal has received.
“These are vicious attacks,” said Imah Ponce of Coney Island, whose daughter attends PS 90, adding, “We should be able to resolve things without resorting to name-calling.”
But a Facebook page calling for Hawkins’ firing, which popped up after she banned the patriotic Greenwood anthem from graduation, also has its share of nasty language.
“If you don’t like the USA You can get the f— out, you commie piece of s—,” reads a post on the page by Facebook user Johnny Mula.
City schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott defended Hawkins, noting that students recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing “America the Beautiful” at the start of each school day.

God forbid we question Miz Hawkins patriotism or apparent racism and anti-semitism, lest we all become racists for daring to question the attitudes of a liberal nitwit black teacher, using the term teacher loosely.
“She generated negative press again, with a highly unpopular bathroom policy that awarded students extra credit for not using the toilet.” Now that’s real enlightened education, its so conducive to learning to have a bunch of kids walking around constipated and with full bladders. I would encourage students to use her office to relieve themselves.
Moonbattery in a nutshell : Denounce your own culture, as it might offend someone.
Jay, the key in your statement is MIGHT. How often have we seen something banned or stopped or denounced; not because a person or group was offended, but because some petty and incompetent person in power was afraid that they MIGHT be offended?
Those are the people that are dangerous.

I agree whole-heartedly. The parents need to take the school back from this rascist asshat.
I can understand the anger behind the messages but keep obvious racist remarks out of it- it just makes the rest of us look bad. I agree, have your own end of the year program with the patriotic songs included. I would have been as upset with the Justin Bieber song being sung by a bunch of kids who are years away from puberty as the patriotic song being pulled.
another damn biggoted black quota queen, just what we need. This person needs to take her attitude and fold it until it is all corners and sit on it.
Fire the colored trash. It can be done.
It is a shame that so many colored females are drawn to teaching jobs. It is a disgrace that they are hired and given the privilege and responsibility of teaching everybody else’s kids.
America should re-think public education. Segregation, when applied fairly, can work. Let this colored principal only ruin the lives of her fellow coloreds.
It is interesting to read the reviews her own staff gave her this past year. According to one member, “She was found guilty of violating her staff’s rights and being a racist by the Office Of Equal Opportunity and The Board Of Education.” Another staff member stated that because of “her words at a Brooklyn Day mandatory meeting. She was reprimanded and had to attend sensitivity training.” Wow! Read the reviews!! It shows a principal who has divided a school, rather than unite one. It is no wonder the school is failing. Sadly, the bad reviews far outway the good. If you want to know what her teachers thought about her, go to;

This is an examole of moonbattery with a twist. Ms. Hawkins is a Jehovah’s Witness. JWs don’t go much for the whole patriotic, God and country thing. In fact, they positively detest the Stars and Stripes, referenced in Lee Greenwood’s song.

The Left is quick to blather about “separation of church and state” with any mention of the Judeo-Christian God (the only true , living God), but cults, pagans and Muslims get a pass.
I think she is a racist….it’s not about black and white…race your children with love. This women needs to be fired.
