For much of this afternoon, Evangeline has been singing an adjusted protest song from the 1960s:
The song has its origins with Pete Seeger, who popularized it during the Vietnam War, but it came to us via Bruce Springsteen in "The Seeger Sessions." Evangeline is finding that she favors the music of the 1960s, so naturally she loves this song.
She also has decided that one of her goals this trimester -- students at the charter school get to individualize their course of study -- is to write and perform a song of her own composition.
I got ten bucks says it's a protest song about something at the school, in the footsteps of Arlo Guthrie, who wrote his first protest song in fifth grade, about a math test.
If you love your Uncle Sam,
Support your troops in Iraq.
Bring 'em home --
Bring 'em home.
Support your troops in Iraq.
Bring 'em home --
Bring 'em home.
