Burn in Hell!': Adults Heckle NYC Schoolchildren While They Sing 'God Bless the USA

We already told you about the New York City public school principal who banned "God Bless the USA" from a kindergarten graduation program. Now, the same schoolchildren who were forbidden from singing the song at P.S. 90 in Brooklyn were heckled by adults when they performed the song at a protest event held in a nearby park.

Parents, outraged by Principal Greta Hawkins' decision to ban the song, organized the protest and invited Rep. Bob Turner (R-NY) to attend (he's running against Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand). But the event, which was assembled to allow the children and families to make their opposition to Hawkins' stance known, went terribly wrong when some adults chose to shout over the children in protest.

Video of the incident shows boys and girls waving flags and singing Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA." As they performed, though, some angry adults began swarming and shouting. Turner confirmed that these events unfolded in an interview with Fox News Radio, calling the actions "really bad form."

"You Republicans come go to a Republican area and do that, we don’t do that here," proclaimed one of the counter protesters. "This is ridiculous, this is sad. This is so crazy. This is sad."

As Fox's Todd Starnes notes, one of the staffers told the protesters to stop intervening and to let the kids sing. To that request, one of them responded, claiming that the spectacle was "ridiculous" and that those orchestrating the event were going to "burn in hell."

"The kids don’t even know what they’re singing. They got something you tell them to say. It’s ridiculous," he said. "It’s sad, sad, sad. You all are going to burn in hell. You all burn in hell. Shame on you. Shame on you."

In an attempt to drown the protesters out, the children began chanting "USA, USA, USA!" One of the kids even told the most vocal of the detractors to "get out of here."
