Two Coney Island pre-K teachers were “insubordinate” for teaching their students to sing a song honoring the American flag without permission, school officials declared.
The PS 90 teachers had their 5-year-olds practice singing “Stand up for the Red, White and Blue,” in addition to other songs planned for their moving-up ceremony.
“You were insubordinate when you made plans to alter the program without obtaining approval from me,” the vice principal said in a disciplinary letter to the teachers last week.
The rap comes after The Post reported that PS 90 Principal Greta Hawkins sent letters to three pre-K teachers warning that they faced disciplinary charges for teaching their kids the patriotic tune.
“It’s plain old retaliation,” said pre-K teacher Sharon Sturm, adding that she will appeal.
