Elementary School Students Taught to Sing Praises of President Obama

Nearly 20 young children are captured in an online video as they sing songs that overflow with campaign slogans and praise for "Barack Hussein Obama," as they repeatedly chant the president's name and celebrate his accomplishments.

B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ.
1203 Neck Rd
Burlington, NJ 08016-3909
(609) 386-3520

Please do not threaten anyone in the school system, but you can be polite in disagreeing with them.

So, what do authorities of B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ, say? School superintendent says the problem was … that someone videotaped it:

Superintendent Christopher Manno said in a written statement Thursday that the taping itself was out of order, but failed to address whether the the lesson was approved. “The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized,” he wrote in a note to parents and the media.

Read that again.

He doesn’t say anything about public school students — that’s a school funded by your tax dollars, both New Jersey state taxes as well as federal funds from the Department of Education — being taught to sing the praises of Dear Leader. No, the problem is that someone taped it.

You see, now there’s evidence of it.

And if the teacher keeps making up new little ditties like this and using them the kids may not forget by Christmas. I hardly think this is the last one unless this exposure gets her into some trouble.

We have known ever since we studied the way the Spartans developed their soldiers by starting them at age 7 so that they never got a chance to be influenced by their mothers how this works. Psychologists agree that early age is where you begin. The worst thing about this is that we can't prove that Obama is even involved in this stuff. I really don't think he is but he will never keep from being blamed for it.

How loud would it be across the nation if a teacher did the same thing for Bush?

That would have be fine with majority of Americans and probably received no media attention. That's how biased we are!

The thing is that the little Spartan boys were taken away from their mothers for good. These kids go home each day where they fall under a more powerful influence, their parents. I can't believe how insecure some people feel about the parent-child bond.

Bet FOX news didn't mention Obama's not the only President kids were taught to sing about:


George Washington: Song for Teaching George Washington's Role in History

The Spirit of Lincoln: Song Lyrics and Sound Clip

Thomas Jefferson Rap & Song - Song Lyrics and Sound Clip

I don't see anything there that would justify termination of employment.

Not only should she be fired but possibly charged on many counts of "corruption of a minor". Any superior in the school who was aware of this activity should promptly be removed. I don't know how anyone can see that video and not be horrified. We should under no circumstances allow schools to "teach" children to praise "leaders" who are in power.
