Britney Spears: Not Too Cool for School
Continuing her New York jaunt, Britney Spears stopped by John Philip Sousa Middle School 142 in the Bronx today to present a $10,000 check to be used as an endowment for the school’s year-old music program, reports People.
The money comes from Elizabeth Arden, the company that distributes Spears’ fragrances.
Funny what a difference one year can make; if this were the old Britney, she’d probably be out promoting her sex tape…though, hopefully not at a middle school.
While there, Britney watched a performance by the school’s eight-piece band and was serenaded by a girl’s chorus, including a 14-year-old soloist who sang “I Am Woman.”
Hey, now, little lady—this isn’t Lindsay Lohan you’re warbling to!
“It was amazing,” Brit said of her day with the kids. “I was very impressed.”
That’s great and all, but here’s hoping none of the students follow precisely in her footsteps.

To the average unsuspecting reader this is definitely a “feel good” story, but anyone with with ties to this school knows the real deal. This story reeks a horrible repugnant stench and I’ll tell you why…
For starters, this event was held on a non-school day. Wednesday October 1, 2008 was the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah and school was not in session. Not that big of a deal, but here is the kicker… This school is the Edenwald section of the Bronx and and has no White students. The students that you see pictured are the family and friends of the police officers that were hired for the security detail. In fact, this event was clandestinely planned and only a select number of people were included on the event. The main ones who were excluded were the actual students of the school. Moreover, the consensus of the faculty after the fact was that Britney Spears was not an appropriate role model for the students to emulate.
This entire event was a complete sham staged to add credibility and improve to the battered reputation of Britney Spears. The Principal should ashamed for allowing this to happen at the expense of her students, and the NYC Chancellor Joel I. Klein needs to be notified.
