The song is part of a program highlighting Black History month, and the school says they are not requiring all students to memorize it.
Kelly Durham, the district’s assistant superintendent for communications, told The Blaze the song is “an instructional activity to honor Black History Month.”
The Blaze adds:
Durham said each grade level was assigned a different historical figure to profile, and the kindergarteners got Obama — an appropriate figure because “he’s the president of the United States.” Durham said she knew one other grade level had been assigned Rosa Parks, but did not know who the remaining grades received.
She disputed the characterization that it was a “requirement” for kindergarteners to learn the song, saying all students were given permission slips for their parents to sign before they were allowed to take part.
