To do what -- sing about a current issue, even if political? So singing a "It's Election Day! Go Vote Today!" song would be off-limits?
They're singing a song about the healthcare debate -- not about any one side. In fact, the video cuts off a kid from the school saying he likes the current system (the video linked here shows the song only not the introduction), because if Obama's plan gets enacted then the rich people have to pay for their healthcare and everyone else's and then businesses shut down and jobs get lost and that's not fair (paraphrased).
I am not being partisan about anything here -- its not disturbing to you that teachers can impose politics into school - these kids have no choice or even an idea about healthcare -- can you tell me one legitimate reason to teach them this song -- They can no longer sing Xmas songs but during December it certainly is a current event
