Good day all. It\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve done a Chump of the Week, but it\u2019s rather hard to select one out of so many, especially considering the Chump of the Century now Occupying Space and Wasting Oxygen in the Oval office.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>However, we have a winner! This week\u2019s Chump of the Week is Greta Hawkins. Now who is Ms. Hawkins and how did she earn this dubious award? Greta Hawkins is principal of PS 90, the Edna Cohen School, on Cony Island in New York. And what did she do to earn this award? Ms. Hawkins decided that Political Correctness trumps patriotism. Here are the details from the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A Coney Island principal refused to let students sing “God Bless the USA” at a school ceremony — but Justin Bieber’s “Baby” was suitable.<\/p>\n

A controversial Coney Island principal has pulled the plug on patriotism.<\/p>\n

Her refusal to let students sing \u201cGod Bless the USA\u201d at their graduation has sparked fireworks at a school filled with proud immigrants.<\/p>\n

Greta Hawkins, principal of PS 90, the Edna Cohen School, won\u2019t allow kindergartners to belt out the beloved Lee Greenwood ballad, also known as \u201cProud to be an American,\u201d at their moving-up ceremony.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Obviously, Ms. Hawkins is NOT proud to be an American. I suspect she would prefer the United Nations to be running things. So how did this Chump announce to the students that the 5 months they had spent learning and practicing this song was all for naught?<\/p>\n

Five classes spent months learning the patriotic song, which skyrocketed in popularity after the 9\/11 attacks and the 2003 invasion of Iraq.<\/p>\n

It was to be the rousing finale of their musical show at the June 20 commencement. The kids, dressed up for their big day, would wave tiny American flags \u2014 which, as the lyrics proclaim, \u201cstill stand for freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Hawkins marched in on a recent rehearsal and ordered a CD playing the anthem to be shut off, staffers said.<\/p>\n

She told the teachers to drop the song from the program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to offend other cultures,\u201d they quoted her as explaining.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Offend other cultures? Perhaps this raging Moonbat forgot that a number of the students who wanted to sing this song WERE FROM OTHER CULTURES!<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people fought to move to America to live freely, so that song should be sung with a whole lot of pride,\u201d said mom Luz Lozada, whose son, Daniel, is in kindergarten.<\/p>\n

The song has been sung at previous school events. Last year\u2019s fifth-graders, including another Lozada child, performed it at graduation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody applauded and whistled,\u201d the mom said. \u201cThey gave it a standing ovation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parents \u2014 many immigrants from Pakistan, Mexico and Ecuador \u2014 \u201clove it,\u201d Lozada said<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I\u2019m guessing that Ms. Lozada is an immigrant. I know just how hard it is for people to come to America from personal experience. (BTW, Welcome to America Ms. Lozada. We need more people like you and your family!)<\/p>\n

So does Ms. Hawkins have the support of the teachers she manages? Not really.<\/p>\n

A teacher agreed with Luz Lozada: \u201cIt makes them a little goosebumpy and teary-eyed. I\u2019ve never come across anyone who felt it insulted their culture.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well then the Department of Education must have spoken with this idiot and told her that she had made a mistake. Umm, no.<\/p>\n

Department of Education spokeswoman Jessica Scaperotti gave The Post an explanation staffers said they never heard \u2014 that Hawkins found the lyrics \u201ctoo grown up\u201d for 5-year-olds.<\/p>\n

Scaperotti said the department supports the principal\u2019s decision. \u201cThe lyrics are not age-appropriate,\u201d she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bovine droppings.<\/p>\n

But Justin Bieber\u2019s flirty song about teen romance, \u201cBaby,\u201d was deemed a fine selection for the show. Hawkins had no problem with 5-year-olds singing lines such as, \u201cAre we an item? Girl, quit playing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now I don\u2019t know anything about Bieber\u2019s song. I\u2019ve never heard it and I don\u2019t really care to. However, the title does make me wonder about about \u201cAge Appropriate\u201d lyrics.<\/p>\n

So what else has this chump come up with in her tenure as principle? How about this?<\/p>\n

Scaperotti noted PS 90 kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance and sing \u201cAmerica the Beautiful\u201d each morning. Insiders say Hawkins tried to end that tradition a couple years ago but staff objected.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now why, other than Hawkins is probably a left-wing anti-American jerk, did she try to ban the Pledge of Allegiance?<\/p>\n

The principal, a Jehovah\u2019s Witness, does not recite the pledge because her religion forbids followers to salute any nation\u2019s flag. Staffers gripe she doesn\u2019t stand in respect during the school-wide ritual.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now I\u2019m no expert on the Jehovah\u2019s Witness\u2019s, but I do know they don\u2019t put anything ahead of their religion. They won\u2019t do the Pledge or sing the National Anthem. This can cause friction, but I personally will tolerate it as their personal religious belief. However, I don\u2019t think the JW\u2019s try to impose this on others. My guess is Hawkins is using her religion as an excuse to denigrate the United States in favor of her transnational political beliefs. Apparently, I\u2019m not alone in thinking this.<\/p>\n

The song uproar comes amid tensions. Hawkins has been called a tyrant and bully by some staffers.<\/p>\n

The DOE reprimanded her in 2010 after teachers complained she called the school \u201cracist\u201d and declared: \u201cI\u2019m black. Your previous principal was white and Jewish. More of us are coming.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And there it is. Ms. Hawkins is nothing more than an anti-American, left-wing bigot who is trying to ram her political beliefs down the throats of the staff and the students. I think it\u2019s time for Greta Hawkins to consider a career change. I think she would do quite well in the fast food industry.<\/p>\n

\"Barking<\/a><\/p>\n

So, for her hatred of the United States and her attempts to hurt those who are patriotic Americans, (Including the most recent arrivals to this great nation), Greta Hawkins is Anger Central\u2019s Chump of the Week<\/p>\n

Thatisall<\/p>\n
