Education or Indoctrination?
[In the interest of transparency, please allow me to post this note to indicate my change of perspective. I agree with Sarah and Donald in the comment section below that the use of President Obama's campaign logo in classrooms was just a mixup and had nothing to do with Mr. Obama. My apologies. — CDH]
Apparently, President Barack Obama’s presence in public classrooms is not limited to songs or writing assignments.
According to an article in the Columbia Daily Tribune, supplies that display Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign logo have been sold in public schools in Columbia, Mo.

I don’t think this was indoctrination. A private supplier thought it would be cute to combine the Obama campaign symbol and a picture of coins (”change”). The supplies were pulled almost immediately.

I agree with you, Sarah. It sounds like the school supply company and the school district are embarrassed and scrambling to fix the problem.

Why would you still leave this up when you yourself feel that it was just a mixup and had nothing to do with Mr. Obama?
