N.Y. Principal Bans Flags and Students From Singing Patriotic Songs

Principle Greta Hawkins

Retard Alert

So-called "educators" are some of the more fucking

hateful and stupid people in America today.

NEW YORK  –  A controversial Coney Island principal who grabbed headlines for banning the patriotic tune “God Bless the U.S.A.” from an end-of-year kindergarten ceremony in 2012 is at it again, school staffers told the Daily News.

Public School 90 boss Greta Hawkins on Monday killed a plan for pre-K students to march into an end-of-year celebration carrying flags to a song called “Stand Up for the Red, White and Blue,” teachers said.

Hawkins, 49, of Brooklyn, told teachers she banished the patriotic display planned for the June 19 festivities because the staffers who organized it didn’t ask her permission.

But staffers said their principal’s history of banning patriotic music from school events suggests that her motivations might have been something else entirely.

Teachers said that they had planned to start the end-of-year ceremony for the school’s 54 pre-K students with the kids marching into an assembly carrying American flags while “Stand Up for the Red, White and Blue,” played over a public address system.

The children’s song includes patriotic lines such as, “I’ll always do my part, I love my land that’s free.”

But the program struck a sour note with Hawkins, staffers said, who barred both the flags and the tune from the upcoming ceremony.

Teachers at the school said they don’t know what they will do for the ceremony now.
