PUCKETT, MS (WLBT) - More complaints from parents who say school officials will not allow students to talk about President-Elect Barack Obama.

Melissa Hayes says teachers at Puckett Attendance Center told her daughters they could not talk about Obama in class or in the hallways.

Her daughters, 15 and 18, told Hayes the principal says students can only mention Obama in history class Hayes says she called the school district to find out why, but did not receive any answers.

WLBT was unable to reach a school official this afternoon.

Interesting and a darn shame Thank you for posting this

It is a shame. He's really taking on a lot. With the economy the way it is. Hope the best for him and us.

it's funny the effect he has on people...my 89 year old father actually weeps...whenever his name is mentioned...go figure...

It is going to be a long 8 years

maybe its just an over reaction to all the complaints and lawsuits over political indoctrination in the schools?

I saved my Obama yard sign for the next election.

I used my neighbors for bb gun practice...lol

Did they give you permission?

I don't think they knew what hit em;...I used a high powered scope at 1000 paces...I'm kidding of course...

Glad to hear it.

need t o head out for awhile...I'll leave you with this...I shot an arrow in the air and where it lands I do not care...I get mine wholesale....

I grew up near Puckett, MS. I guess they are keeping those kids straight down there!

That's a rough little town, it's probably in the best interest of the students at this point, to avoid fighting or whatever. After the reality sets in, I'm sure it won't be as big of an issue.
