Britney Spears Boogies In The Bronx

Britney Spears signs autographs for and poses with children at junior high school John Philip Sousa M. S. 142 in the Bronx neighborhood of New York City on Wednesday morning.

The 26-year-old pop princess, who was accompanied by a film crew, older brother Bryan and manager Larry Rudolph, took the time to pose with a few NYPD cops. According to People, she also presented a $10,000 check from Elizabeth Arden to be used as an endowment for the school’s year-old music program.

“I really enjoyed the time I spent at the John Philip Souza Middle School,” Brit said. “I’ve been working with the people at Elizabeth Arden for the last five years (for my fragrances, Believe, Fantasy and Curious), and I know how passionate everyone is about the school. I loved hearing the school orchestra and the children sang so beautifully. The fact that Elizabeth Arden made such a large donation for the school music studio in my name was so generous.”

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.
