BEAUMONT, TX — A Texas high school is facing intense criticism after a halftime show in which a person dressed like Mitt Romney was punched in the face by someone depicting Big Bird.
This video captured by Texas Sports Center shows a skit by the Central Medical Magnet High School, a Beaumont ISD school, in response to Romney's comments that he would cut PBS funding during the presidential debate. Meanwhile, a student dressed as President Obama can be seen dancing and doing backflips.
What do you think? Should this be allowed at a high school football game? Or is it just "all in good fun"?

Pretty sad when schools get into the business of politics. Maybe that's why the USA ranks #14 in the world education ratings. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/2010/dec/07/world-education-rank...
I am a former band director and I would have been fired if I did something like that.
