How nice. Leading little kids (look to be about 3rd grade) in chants for political causes these little kids couldn't possibly understand.

"Hey Hey Ho Ho, Scott Walker has got to go!"

"This is what Democracy Looks Like!"

"Children United Can Never Be Divided!"

This is pitiful to use innocent children this way.

Wisconsin Protesters Teach Kids to Chant Against Gov. Walker | The Blaze

But I guess its part of the lesson plan forced on schools by the unions!
http://www.laborunionreport.com/port...choolchildren/

"Wisconsin schools will be required to teach the history of organized labor under a bill signed by Gov. Jim Doyle.
The bill Doyle signed Thursday also requires Wisconsin schools to teach the history of collective bargaining.
The proposal has been around for years but never passed. This year it cleared the Democratic controlled Legislature despite opposition from school boards and administrators who said they didn’t want the curriculum micromanaged.
Labor unions supported the bill."

Not surprising.

These same kids where probably brought to events for Obama when they were in kindergarten and taught to chant his name like he is the Pied Piper.

Is this similar to having young kids carry billboards of fetuses to anti-choice rallys?
Is this like taking kids to teabag events?

Or is it only exploitation because you don't agree with the cause?

Gotta love the desperation on the radical right and more garage from Beck's propaganda site. I guess this is A-OK when it's tea party trash spreading hate into children.

Kruschev said in the 50's that the USA will fall to Communism without spilling a drop of blood. It would be done through our youth. Sound familiar?

Yes and we all remember the Obama school chants.

I don't know what a "teabag event" is, but considering the sexual nature of the activity, I would say that taking kids would probably be inappropriate.

As for the rest, I have no problem with bringing kids to these kinds of events, as long as they're safe. It's good for kids to see freedom and democracy in action.

When the kids become the the protesters, at the direction of their parents or other authority figures, then a line has been crossed. I don't care what you're bringing them there to argue for or against - they shouldn't be fully participating if they don't even have the capacity to understand what they're doing.

So tell me, chielgirl, do you think it was OK for them to be there, putting on a rehearsed demonstration about things they don't understand? I have no doubt that you'd be against it if it were any of the things you mentioned, but what about this? Your post was noticeably lacking in either support or condemnation of this event. Please, let us know what you think about it.
