PORTLAND, Ore. — An elementary school principal is barring a fifth-grader from wearing a Barack Obama mask in the school’s talent show because parents have complained it’s inappropriate.
Dru Lechert-Kelly, 11, hoped to dress presidentially and dance to a YouTube parody that features an Obama look-alike and a rap called “I Can Do Whatever I Like.”
The skit features him in an Obama mask purchased at a costume shop.
Steve Powell, principal of Llewellyn Elementary School, declined to say specifically why it might be offensive.
