Yeah, one is a mythical being conjured up to keep the slaves/serfs in line. The other is the Democratically elected President of the United States.

Look. Here's the definitive point of view on this if, in fact, this was a video from a publicly funded school.

Clearly, this can't be blamed on Obama. He had nothing to do with the kids being taught this song.

However, kids being taught this song at a public school is beyond unacceptable. Again, if legit, it is unquestionably the scariest shit I've ever seen in regards to politics in America in my lifetime. The only just course of action is for there to be an example made of everybody who had even the most minute role in this. The teacher, the principal, and the superintendent are fired along with anybody else who's name can be linked to approving this. There needs to be a law suit on behalf of the parents of these children against the state so the legislators feel the impact.

You haven't looked very hard. I agree it shouldn't be tolerated though.

He's scared of his own shadow if this is the scariest thing he's ever seen in regards to politics.

The teacher involved should be disciplined. It really reads like something that north korean school children would sing only to Kim Jon.

This seems to be more of a school/grade level event rather then a just a class event.

I still don't see the Epic Scary... *shrug .. look at all the nutjob Catholics who were told by their leaders that to vote for John Kerry would be a vote against their God /antichrist

Too bad people didn't get this worked up when Colin Powell was telling outright lies pre-murder of Iraqis

Well that was a parody after all... of an LA times article.. but anywho I prefer this song...

Just remember to replace Kim Jon Il, with Obama and its all good.

Yeah and this is about history. Did you get upset when they sung about Martin Luther King Jr. or John Henry? After all John Henry was a (Michael) Steel driving man.

Did that take place in public schools, or did it occur in private churches? That difference is what makes this song event an issue.

I don't see anyone getting "worked up" about this issue -- except perhaps HeroOfPellinor. I do see most people here, from both sides of the aisle even, who simply feel that it's wrong and should be looked into.

There is simply no excuse for enforced political propaganda in public school. Is it the end of the world? Of course not; but, it's still a serious issue that needs to be addressed at this particular school or any other where it occurs.

I also haven't seen anyone here try to tie this to Obama, himself, or his Admin. The blame lies on any of the school faculty who were involved.

However, this still is one misguided individual not the Obama administration.

Oh I never said it was the Obama admin directly.

Red is just sad. He's like that bully at school who nobody's afriad of, but that doesn't stop him from making unclever jokes and high fiving the air next to him.

Maybe you missed the fact that this event was allegedly acknowledged by the school's Superintendent? I haven't been able to find the letter from a reputable site, so maybe you're right... or not? Who knows...
Dear Burlington Township Families:

Today we became aware of a video that was placed on the internet which has been reported in the media.

The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country.

The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dr. King, Principal of B. Bernice Young School, directly.

Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher M. Manno,
Superintendent of Schools
Even if this was actually part of their Black History Month, I still do not think it's right. The lyrics are too far over the top to be acceptable in a public school. (Please remember that I voted for Obama as well).

PS: On another note, their principal happens to be named "Dr. King"... that's wild!

Which makes it more scary. A "mythical" being can't raise my taxes and affect my healthcare.

Red owned nothing, and I never back-peddled.
