"Proud to be an American" banned at Brooklyn, New York school for being inappropriate!...from Mike Haltman at TPC

Controversy is swirling around PS 90 in Brooklyn, New York where the school principal Greta Hawkins is removing the song "Proud to be an American" by Lee Greenwood from the kindergarten moving-up ceremony. 


The reason according to Hawkins is that the lyrics are too grown-up and that the school doesn't want to offend those from other countries. 


This patriotic song is being banned as inappropriate although the song "Baby" by Justin Bieber is being allowed. Is there more to this story than meets the eye?
