ELEMENTARY EPIDEMIC: 11 Uncovered Videos Show School Children Performing Praises to Obama
by John NolteBig Hollywood has already posted a couple disturbing videos of young school children singing/speaking praises to President Obama, but when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. What seemed like an aberration now appears to be a troubling pattern.
Maybe “epidemic” is a better word.
Each one of the videos below is creepier than the last because the further down you go, the younger the children — brace yourself for kindergartners – except for the last and most disturbing video, which you have to see to believe.

Young captive minds, easily influenced, eager for direction, enlisted into a cult of personality focused on an individual who, other than being the first black president, has yet to accomplish anything of significance.
But Obama’s skin color has nothing to do with this. Does anyone interested in retaining their merit badge for intellectual honesty really want to argue that Condi Rice or J.C. Watts would’ve spawned a dozen-and-counting tribute videos?
This is about brainwashing our children into Leftist identity politics. Sure, the schools can argue that they had some kind of parental permission — which, if true, is somehow even more disturbing — but who even considers doing something like this with young minds? That’s a rhetorical question.
There was some guesswork, but to the best of our ability the videos run from oldest to youngest, starting with high schoolers. We list the name of the school and the date the video was posted. From there, if it could be found (or a confident guess made), you’ll find the schools’ website, followed by the original title given to the video and any notes added by whoever uploaded to YouTube.
Each video has also been transcribed so you can follow the bouncing ball…

WEST HIGH SCHOOL — 12-6-08
This is the school’s probable website. What’s going on here is explained below in the video notes.
Video Title: “Multico’s Finale is Obama’s victory speech!“
Video Note: Each year, MULTICO, a company of West High School students chosen to reflect the diverse ethnic and racial population of Madisons schools, tours elementary and middle schools with an original thirty minute production focusing on the concerns and experiences of children and adolescents in a multicultural, multilingual urban environment. MULTICO, a two hour a day English class, writes and performs a series of short sketches that highlight race, gender, sexuality and conflict, providing another tool for classroom teachers to use as we all work towards a more empathetic world.

If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, today is your answer.
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled — Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of red states and blue states; we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other.
The true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity and unyielding hope.
For that is the true genius of America — that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
America, we have come so far. But there is so much more to do. This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time — to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and to restore the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes, we can. Yes, we can. Yes, we can.

Video Title: “Yes We Can – Barack Obama Music Video 7th Grade Version”
Video Note: The 7th grade students followed the 2008 presidential election in several of their classes this term. Concluding the election the students were asked to make video segments based on the popular Obama music video, Yes We Can, by musician Will.i.am. The segments were then compiled into one video. In this video the students discuss various goals as well as how they are able to make a difference in improving our world.

Barack Obama – Recorded:
“I am the son of a black man from Kenya and a white woman from Kansas. I was raised with the help of a white grandfather who survived a Depression to serve in Patton’s Army during World War II and a white grandmother who worked on a bomber assembly line at Fort Leavenworth while he was overseas. I’ve gone to some of the best schools in America and lived in one of the world’s poorest nations. I am married to a black American who carries within her the blood of slaves and slave-owners – an inheritance we pass on to our two precious daughters. I have brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, uncles and cousins, of every race and every hue, scattered across three continents, and for as long as I live, I will never forget that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.” — Barack Obama, “A More Perfect Union,” March 18, 2008.

And we’re living our life.
Barack Obama – Recorded:
“It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.”

BARACK OBAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL — 1-31-2009
If you think the Nobel committee jumped the gun… Days after the 2008 presidential election Ludlum Elementary in Long Island petitioned and won the right to have the name of their school changed to Barack Obama Elementary. Watch this and ask yourself if the Nobel committee’s rationale couldn’t be that much different than the students questioned in the news report.
The video below isn’t of students singing but of a woman named Janelle Kirton performing the school song. The song doesn’t mention Obama, it just relies heavily on his platitudes, but pay special attention to the school decorations inter-cut throughout the video.
If that doesn’t creep you out enough, check out this slide-show from the school’s website.

….these children will cry and whine and expect some level of gov't to bail them out of a jam…..they are not competitive on the world stage and are only qualified to be gov't bureacrats….thanks teachers union…..
Garbage in and garbage out. Where are the parents of these children? If you agree or not, public schools are not the tools of the state. However, the dumbed down society think teachers are baby sitters instead of educators of reading, writing, and math. Hitler Youth comes to mind as I watch these kids try to please the teachers that are proxys for socialism. I am glad my kids attend a private school that leaves the political party at the gates of the school yard and teaches the Constitution and Bill of Rights as a protection from this form of government. Marx would be proud of our Department of Education, too bad I can't seem to share his view.
Parents, Hide Your Kids – Barack Obama is Coming After Them
Here's my video I just made. Now I'll lots of new material for another one.
I just finished watching the ABC show V. Having just seen that it makes me extra creeped out to see all these videos : )
I was trying to show it's not just the schools. It's the entire cultural milieu: books,magazines,toys and games,clothes all geared to children.
And thanks, inattentive parents who foist off raising their kids onto government.
Thanks to the parents "too busy" to look at their kids' homework. Too busy to engage their children in conversation and find out what they are thinking, and why they are thinking that way.
The teacher unions ARE evil, but aren't you folks using them as a catch-all? Forgive me, but you are sounding like those government-protected classes who blame all of their shortcomings on the big bad white man.
They should just teach these little zombies the Horst Wessel Lied and change it to Barry Obama Lied. You think for an encore these kids can sing ,
"My country,' tis of thee,
sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing;
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside let freedom ring
Times change, when I was in school we ridiculed the act in dictatorships when they had their children sing a leaders praise.
If my kid was in one of those vidios there would be hell to pay. Not only is this indoctrination, but there is a real danger expsing children on the internet. I would have dragged my kid right off the stage.
They ruined "King of Rock" by RUN DMC.
MotherF***ers…
Public School has not been about reading, writing, and math for A LONG TIME.
Public School has been the bastion of liberal, mullet-cultural, political correctness, and other such BS for decades.
I have a mid 20's son who I pulled out of public school after 6th grade, and private parochial school and heavy parental involvement was still too little, to late. He has classical blame everyone else, self esteem trumps self discipline and results, and an entitlement mentality.
And before you say it, YES, I was very active and deeply involved in his public school period. I begged and pleaded when his report card was ENTIRELY incomplete's that he should be held back and was told "Mr. Montgomery in this day and age we simply don't do that it is too damaging to his self esteem". I got NO support from the school. They WOULD NOT hold him accountable for not doing his work.
My second round of children are ALL home schooled, and very sharp, very social, and very, very much holding the right values.
I am not at all surprised public school is trying to create a horde of drones to mimic the liberal talking points.
If you wish to check out the source, check out the politically correct, over the top liberal curriculum at EVERY major school of Education in the US college/university system. chock full of gender studies, and other such pure BS that has NOTHING to do with teaching our children to win in the global economy.
Check out the per student cost of our system vs. the ranking world wide of our students.
Public education is a complete failure in this nation. But we will keep throwing bad money after good, we are enculturated to support it, brainwashed I suspect.
I am not surprised one bit by your story. you are just scratching the surface.
Enjoyed watching "V" on t.v. ! It showed the cult of Humans being taken over by Reptilian (Messiah) outer space Visitors in beautiful, sexy human disguise. Aliens offer Universal Healthcare and world peace. Even some t.v. critics said the new (remade) series is taking a swipe at the Hope and Change of Obama.
Lock and load. We're getting closer and closer.
There is a reason why kids are used in horror movies. They shoud be innocent and apart from creepy behavior. When they are not it messes with your head, and kind of disturbs you.
The people who make these kids do this must not be able to see the creepy. They are blinded by ideaology.
Those of us who are not can see the wicker man children of the corn scariness of it.
Man didn't it freak people out whn the great leader songs and youth corps films were seen?
Or is the leftist just ok with the whole thing?
I feel like I need a shower
I couldn't stomach watching these videos. "yes we can.' No you can not!!
This reminds me completely of indoctrinational re-education camps associated with the Peoples Republic of China or something out of Orwell's "1984." It really is scary. Maybe it is time to do away with government controlled public education.
i think half the danger is in right-wing news corps digging up these videos of kids from youtube and plastering them on their homepages.
ok, psycho.
Because of course the public school administration knows your child better than the parents themselves….
I'd rather get my self-esteem damaged in middle or grade school than go through life woefully unqualified.
Yikes. Makes me wonder who their parents are! Makes me wonder a lot more than that, but mostly leaves a pit in my stomach! Nice work on the video. That must have been a depressing project!
Right and consider that Bill Ayers is widely respected in the education community.
Brrrrr-r-r-r-r!
Still, people will fade; ideals and philosophy are the heftier tools. And there is none more scary/creepy in the extreme than the kid in the Greenpeace video that haunts my nightmares.
Green is the new Red.
Exactly! Creepy Scummy Disturbing Mcabre!
It will take forever to wash that off!
I offer a new song for the kiddies:
He puts a spell on you
He says "you're mine
Watch the things you do
I ain't lyin'
I rule you
I rule you
I rule you
Anyhow
I don't care if you don't want me
I'm yours! right now"
He puts a spell on you
He says "you're mine".
Check out the new version of "Mmm Mmm Mmm Barack Hussein Obama" at: http://www.myspace.com/rogerweber
You'll get a laugh!
Some lines that made me shake my head:
"Don’t do drugs"
But President Obama certainly experimented with his fair share of them in college. Or do teachers not tell kids that?
"Give me your money – give me your money/ Leave him alone/ No bullying."
Funny, Obama comes off like someone who wants my lunch money. I think he's a bully according to those parameters.
"he’s a modern Martin Luther who was also a great man. "
Dear teachers, Martin Luther and Martin Luther King Jr. are two completely different people in history. Also, it makes little sense to compare President Obama to either.
Public school education at its' finest. And libs wonder why we're behind in almost every subject compared to the rest of the world.
Elementary School Children; the entertain industry's future Incontinent Prostitutes for Oba Mao.
They have to get their group-think training from somewhere since the Actor's Studio and the New School has filled their rim to the brim with the REALLY COOL Incontinent Prostitutes for Oba Mao kidz.
If I were to still consider myself an artist I would be thoroughly humiliated by this group-think destruction of free expression and creativity.
Art is so humiliated it is impossible to look upon Art as enlightened.
If you do not sing praise to Oba Mao you will receive an Oba Mao fatwa for offending The Won.
One thing I'll say for Progressives, they sure know how to foster creepiness in sycophants, particularly when they’re young.
that's the dangerous part?
So shining a light on it is just as bad?
What about the rest of the news, it reporting on it dangerous too?
Jeremiah Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, …eh…hmm… Reverends all, have done their insipid work well. These race pimps have successfully enslaved generations of Black Americans to governmental servitude, and hate of country.
I recommend heavy doses of Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, Herman Cain, etc. brilliant, successful, Black Americans who have reached the apex of the American Dream. This is the greatest country the world has ever produced without exception, work hard, work long, work smart, and anyone can be a success, anyone. This blind devotion, and mindless pledge to any Washington politician is un-American, and will only guarantee generational mediocrity, not good. Mmm…mmm…mmm…
GET INVOLVED PARENTS!
DEFEAT the Commie Libs wherever you can.

BARACK OBAMA: OUR FIRST, GIANT, FLYING, FIRE-BREATHING TURTLE PRESIDENT
http://naturalfake.wordpress.com/2009/09/25/presi...
[...] Big Hollywood » Blog Archive » ELEMENTARY EPIDEMIC: 11 Uncovered Videos Show School Children Perfo… Big Hollywood has already posted a couple disturbing videos of young school children singing/speaking praises to President Obama, but when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. What seemed like an aberration now appears to be a troubling pattern. [...]
Yes, I was angry by the end which is why I put the Palestinian babies in at the end which is a little harsh.
It's these liberal, creepy teachers who belong to the AFL-CIO that promote this crap. The same ones who couldn't pass most of the tests that are handed out to the students, the same ones with the socialist agendas, the same ones who believe in MAO, Stalin, Guevera et al. Bunch of whack jobs teaching kids today.
Could I use it for my videos? I would give you credit, of course.
It's my opinion that the school system has dumbed down the requirements to pass so that the products of that education will one day HAVE to rely on the government. The same reason is to be applied for why the government is ruining capitalism, so that more and more people will HAVE to rely on government. obama and his adminstration know EXACTLY what they're doing when they take over a company, an industry or close down a business. It's all done to make the private sector more dependent upon government.
A true President of our Country would discourage this.
A True President would place America first.
A Narcissistic President believes he/she is above country.
Wonder how recently these videos were made and whether the Obamatrons that pushed them feel the same way about the Great Leader now? THEY probably do since the Kool-Aid hasn't worn off yet. The folks around them may be thinking twice though. Folks in NJ and Va. are.
Is it too early to start mourning for what our great nation is fast becoming?
These submissions are just too creepy! When do we see the formation of the Obama Youth Brigades? Surely, this is what he had in mind when he suggested a Civilian Defense Force, as large and well funded as our military. Will the New Black Panther Party be tasked with recruitment and training?
Am I being too alarmist? Or am I being practical? I am beginning to wonder.
Ivan
Because America has been such a horrible, horrible place and finally someone comes from above to conquer those who kill the dream of us having everything we need handed to us, the good and willing to serve. What a shame that I as a fellow countryman who knows the hard lesson that would come out of that kind of "change"–that people will always have hierarchies and the new one is worse than the old one–am not willing to let it play out.
It doesn't help that the MSM and certain organizations dependant on government funding are pushing the messiah angle….
Ah, more Thomas Sowell and some Walter Williams for you all.

In 1980-81, students majoring in education scored lower on both the verbal and math portions of the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) than students majoring in any other subject. Only 7 percent of high-school seniors with SAT scores in the top 20 percent, and 13 percent in the next quintile, chose to major in education. At the other end of the academic spectrum, more than half of those with SAT scores in the lowest 20 percent chose education as a major. Eighty-five percent of high SAT-scoring students who actually become teachers leave after a brief career.
We should stop being shocked when we learned that children are propagandized with impunity in a government run school system. We shouldn't be surprised by something we should be expecting.
"Men are ruled, at this minute by the clock, by liars who refuse them news, and by fools who cannot govern." –G. K. Chesterton

Fingers straight, thrust your right arm over your head and pledge: Heil Obama!
Sickening. I've been saying only half in jest that someone will eventually put forth a petition to change the name of the nation's capital to Obamaville, D.C.

There is a growing movement in this country that the media doesn't want you to know about. There are more and more people homeschooling for academic reasons than religious. We pulled our boys out of public school when they were in 5 & 3 grade because the school refused to work with me or be accountable to me, but I was supposed to be accountable to them. My only regret is that we did not do it sooner. My oldest is now in college and a very independent young man. This past election was his first. The homeschool community has fought an uphill fight against the teacher's unions and the dreaded "S" word (socialization). My kids are so well socialized that they can carry on an intelligent conversation with anyone be it someone younger than them or an adult. But, the liberal-run-government-funded-welfare schools don't want children like mine to exist because then they can't be controlled. Because these children actually know how to think, analyze and question instead of just accepting as gospel anything that their teacher's spew.
Barack Hussein Obama — King of Fools and schoolchildren everywhere!
Barack Obama – Um, um, um… Yes, we have future DemoRATS in training! With many of our teachers not capable of educating, some have resorted to instruction via propaganda and song… YOUR TAX DOLLAR$ AT WORK!!!
Time for that tree of Jefferson's to get some refreshment…
[...] Nah! [...]
This is exactly why my daughter's been in a Parochial school since day 1. I will not allow these statists to sink their fangs into her.
She may still be worshiping a messiah, but at lease I know it's THE Messiah.
FYI, the original V was written as a commentary on the statists' rise to power in Germany, Russia, Italy, etc. in the 1920's.
What was really funny was the ABC post comparing the show to Obama's rise to power. Yes, today's liberals really are that ignorant of history.
I'm instantly reminded of Barack O'Gamara of Japanese science fiction movie fame!! Thanks for the memory!
If they were singing fascist songs would that concern you?
In last night's NJ and VA elections, liberals got a taste of what's coming for their leaders if things don't turn around big-time and soon. The revolution has begun and we aren't going away!!!
Pull your children out of public schools NOW.
Just think, we now have something in common with North Korea. All hail the "Dear Leader!"
NOTE: This is taking place in predominately black schools, with black principals and black teachers. The kids aren't learning math and science, just Obama chants and raps. In the meantime, Chinese kids are young scholars in every respect, learning math, science, and multiple languages.
They are singing fascist songs…religious devotion to Dear Leader is a hallmark of fascism.
FYI, to the founding fathers, there is no difference between a fascist, socialist, communist, or dictatorial form of government. They're all totalitarian statists.
You guys are still using the political scale put out there by the progressives (i.e., statists).
Good God!! Somone asked where the parents were. Well, read this & see where all of us are:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage
I do encourage others to just read that new, underground book just out cause it's about a small town in America that does stand up to the tyranny of our government & end up starting the 2nd American. It would be almost too much to believe except for events that have happened in the past 10 months which now make the book so real. It's a great read!! Just see what's nxt for all of us if you really care about America. Just read it.

So has anyone told the children if they will be
house slaves or work in the fields for their master?
I heard on this site ,possibly, that the J C Watts Mr Nolte refers to, actually voted for Obama.
I don't know if it's true or not. I wouldn't have believed it of him but the Colin Powell syndrone apparetly kicks in for some of these dudes and they want to be able to tell their grand kids they voted for the first black president.
The country can go to hell. I don't throw this out there as fact.
Charlie Gibson never heard of any of this.
Thank God it is mostly only black kids being indoctrinated and not alot of white kids. The whites actually have a chance for thinking for themselves. The state of the black community is scary. They have to have a leader like Sharpton or Obama tell them what to think because they are too lazy and too stupid to get off their fat butts to do anything. Sorry if you think this is racist, but this is the truth.
This is appalling! And these effing libs are generally the ones trying to get rid of the following gem in our schools:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag
Of The United States of America,
And to the Republic,
For which it stands,
One nation, Under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all.
Apparently they want to replace this with pledging allegiance to our leaders rather than our republic.
The mask will come off soon and expose the lizard man from V.
To control the future you must indoctrinate the young. Hitler knew it. Obama knows it.
Here is another school which is also indoctrinating it's students.
http://www.theviewnewspapers.com/news/66503/song-...
What else should we expect from "Goverment" schools? Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach.
Ugh. I think I need a shower after watching even the first :30 of each vid. Quite disturbing.
Creepy indoctrination.
BTW, it is just as accurate to say that H is just another white guy president; so can we please stop with the "first black president" nonsense?
West High in Madison is my alma mater. I'm sickened but not surprised by this display of political correctness. West High has been obsessed with political correctness since I graduated in 1967.
As I heard from a Chicagoen, stop comparing Obama to Hitler. Hitler GOT the Olympics!
Obama-shahada…'I'm not tired'…I'm all fired up and ready to go'…
Can you see in which direction he is going?
He is gathering recruits…He needs an army of 'community organizers', 'A civilian security force', as well funded as the military, ( does that mean tanks and field artillery?) to come to your neighborhood, restore order, and protect you from the bad guys…Put a stop to this…2010/2012…or sooner…Yesterday would be good…
"Don’t do drugs" you missed something here…. Obuma is in favor of Legalizing POT!
Hows that HOPEY – CHANGEY thing workin for you now you bunch of mind dead robots. OBAMBIE is toast in the 2012 election and will be voted out of office.
Did all of the parents give permission for their kids to become part of a political rally?
Aren't their clearly written rules preventing political activity or rallies on public grounds?
Did the principle know this activity was going on during school hours?
There have to be dozens of lawsuits in this. Maybe hundreds.
Well, look at the bright side. The high schoolers will be able to vote in the next presidential election, but they probably won't be smart enough to read the ballot, if they are not so strung out they can get to the polling place. Thank a teacher!
love the 'Children of the Damned' pic…
Except those were the spawn of alien extraterrestrials. This is just plain ol' Marxist cult of personality inculcation of ignorant children.
Not sure what's worse…
I would disagree only to the extent that while school children are not tools of the "state" itself, they are in the clutches of those who use the state to fund their parasitic existence.
It's academia where this is coming from. How in the hell people like Ayers, Dohrn, Jennings and the like even got into college, much less graduate, return, obtain tenure, and then start working on new teaching methods is beyond me.
I attend Ludlum Elementary School in Hempstead, NY in the 1970s. It was a horrible school then, and today it is a gang infested wasteland. The teachers should spend their time instructing students not to join gangs, not drop out of school, and not hate whitey instead of singing praise to a leader.
Oh, say can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Right out of Saul Alinsky's book. Have the people align around a slogan. The slogan does not have to be defined or specific. If they do so they will suspend rational thought. Clearly evident in Obama supporters. They want change but can't define change other than class envy changes.
Yeah, right, it's better we just close our eyes and pretend none of this is happening.
That's worked so well through out history.
It would be slightly less disturbing if they were singing 'deutschland uber alles'. Imagine what the reaction would be if government employees at the government indoctrination centers, AKA public schools, were promoting Bush this way.
Is there any doubt that the political left will bring totalitarianism to our country? These people are complete morons, and dangerously dumb.
They need these stickers:

Can't wait to hear all the Palin songs come 2013. Yes indeedy, those will probably be some real great tunes, what with all the easier rhymes…Palin…clear salin'….no more failin'….the dems are trailin…uh, what do you mean don't hold my breath?
It's sad that children continue to be used as pawns in the game of politics and that our schools are allowed to fail to teach them reading, writing and arithmetic, but they can spend time on songs of praise for a president whose intent is to make them dependent on the government. What a new age of uncertainty we have entered.
I would think that anyone paying taxes in the district has standing in a lawsuit.
With or without children enrolled.
This is tax payer funded political activity.
Correct, but you forgot to include modern liberals and progressives.
They all agree on one thing, the supremacy of the state over the individual. They're just fighting over who's behind the wheel of the "state."
If you liked that, check out the 1930s novel "It Can't Happen Here", on which it was loosely based. No aliens in there, making the story more familiar.
Are you kidding me? WTF is going on in our clsssrooms. If you do not think this maniac had a hidden agenda you are a fool. This is some scarey stuff to say the least. I want to see some documentation on this guy. College records would be a start. America better wake up. We have children who can barely read or write and time is being used to promote this.
Obama, Obama you are a scam
fooled everyone in this land,
Enough already!
