Children Singing In Praise Of The One

You are not going to believe this video below. I don’t care what your political persuasion is, this should ring alarm bills, raise red flags, and generally cause major concern.

If this isn’t indoctrination, I don’t know what is:




Here are the words
, in case you can’t understand them:

Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand [?]
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be clear today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Barack Hussein Obama
He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Barack Hussein Obama
Yes
Mmm, mmm, mm!

Barack Hussein Obama

Second Song:

Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all [do? doth??] say “hooray!”
Hooray Mr. President! You’re number one!
The first Black American to lead this great na-TION!
Hooray, Mr. President something-something-some
A-something-something-something-some economy is number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!
And the same for all Americans [in?] the great Red White and Blue!
So something Mr. President we all just something-some,
So here’s a hearty hip-hooray a-something-something-some!
Hip, hip hooray! (3x)

HOLY SHIT. Can you believe this? Just insert “George Walker Bush” in there instead of “Barack Hussein Obama” to get a full sense of how disturbing this is. Hell, insert any president’s name, it doesn’t matter. I imagine most parents would object to their children, their SMALL children especially, being taught to sing the praises of “Dear Leader” – WOW. That’s not how Americans roll.

Or wasn’t, until now.

Someone NOT singing the praises of Barack Hussein Obama is Michelle Paterson, wife of embattled New York Governor, David Paterson. She is mighty upset that Obama wants to push out the first African American governor in NY. So is her husband:

Paterson added, “I never heard of a president asking a governor not to run … so I thought it was very unusual that this would be asked of David and I don’t think it’s right.”

Obama aides have asked the embattled Democratic governor, who has done poorly in recent polls, not to run for governor in 2010.

Paterson said her husband was shocked at the request.

“I think he was stunned. Like I said this is very unusual,” she said.

And Ms. Paterson revealed what Obama whispered into Gov. Paterson’s ear when they met the other day. Are you ready? According to First Lady:

Ms. Paterson also said that Obama told the governor during a trip to upstate New York on Monday that he was “a little chagrined about how the White House handled the message.”

He was not chagrined at the MESSAGE to the governor, mind you, not at the backstabbing of Gov. Paterson, but the way it was HANDLED. Oh, I am sure The One made it ALL better with that admission.

I wonder if THAT is going to make it into the elementary school song of praise to Obama? I’m guessing not…

  • Tricia Spiegel

    It remoinds me of “Jesus Camp.” one of the scariest documentaries ever made. (And, by the way, I am a Christian by heritage and fully respect Christianity, but this documentary was something else again!)

    Thanks Amy. Good to post.

  • carolhaka

    Do you think Governor Patterson has had a horse’s head put in his bed yet?

    These people are seriously sick and perverted.

    CAROL HAKA :evil:

  • Docelder

    Well, this part

    Barack Hussein Obama
    He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
    All are equal in his sight

    reads a lot like this part.

    Red & yellow, black, brown & white,
    They are precious in His sight;
    Jesus loves the little children of the world.

    That and Obama is credited for uttering the lyrics to an old religious song that says something that I don’t recall Obama ever saying. This actually leans toward promoting a false religion if not outright cultism on the part of this teacher. For all the talk of racism, I just wonder if this public school teacher would have done this were Obama the first Japanese President, or the first American Indian President… instead of the first black President. Somehow, I don’t think so.

  • Jackarooty

    Hi Amy,
    I saw this video yesterday and knew that you would pick it up! You never disappoint me!

    It is scary scary stuff.

  • Lyn
  • cathnealon

    If I was the parent of one of those innocent children who do not know what they are saying (the worst kind of indoctrination–to use vulnerable children for political purposes)I would stand outside of that school until that teacher and anyone else who condoned this was fired. If Cindy Shehan could camp out down the road from Bush’s ranch in Texas isn’t ther any other parent who is willing to stand up to this horror?

  • http://firefox Martha Washington Collier

    If this was done at a school my children or grandchildren attended, I’d be down there in a hot minute and by the time I was through that teacher would be gone.

    There is another one they sing to the tune of “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”. Disgusting.

  • Tammy

    I think we should contact the school and ask them what song they sang for George Bush a year ago. And Bill Clinton, Bush I and Reagan.

    I mean, they must have done special song for EVERY President, right? Hello? No?

    Now that’s ODD.

  • mountainaires

    Michelle Malkin is all over this story. It’s all being done by the “Jamestown” Group, an organization which all sounds mighty similar to ACORN. The woman who was leading the group of children is a former classmate and apparently a pal of Obama from Harvard, and she’s capitalizing on that fact.

    Check it out:

  • Portia Elizabeth

    Ack! That video makes me sick to my stomach.

    If my son were still that young, he’d be in soooo much trouble at school because he’d go to class and tell everyone, “My mom says Obama’s an idiot.”

    I’ve been trying to teach my parrot to say that, but so far she’s only yelled “idiot” when Chris Matthews is on tv.

  • Lyn

    Here you go They got a letter the school had on their site (not complaining or appologizing for having the parent kids do this JUST that it was video taped and spread.)So it shouldn’t be hard to find the schools contact info

    An important update about the creepy video we posted yesterday. The Burlington Township School District, to which B. Bernice Youngs Elementary School belongs, posted the following Letter to Parents this morning.

    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

    So, a public school had an official lesson using impressionable children to praise Barack Obama. The song they used even co-opted lyrics from “Jesus Loves the Little Children” with Obama’s name inserted in place of God.

  • Cindy

    Barack Hussein Obama
    Couldn’t whup my mama.

  • rw

    might as well be singing the praises to Stalin. now all that is left is for his mug to be all over the place, like the other Hussein. and when are the statues coming.

    fire that teacher. a voice in the video sounded like she had an accent of some sort. is it a case of a foreigner not knowing you can’t inculcate idolatry in the US school system.

    home schooling never seemed more appropriate.

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    Yes, she is. And one of the things she has added is that the woman behind this is also the author of, I Am Barack Obama, the children’s book. How scary is THAT?

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    His mug IS all over the place! It’s in Union offices, on the tv, in the newspaper, Chia plants, on schools (yes, already)…

    Good point abt the home schooling!

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    Exactly, Tricia – and yes, that was a very scary documentary.

    And this is pretty damn scary, too. I’m just shaking my head at what is happening in this country, and so quickly, too. Schools were changing their name just for Obama getting winning the election. That was sufficient. NOTHING in his history merits that, but hey – why should they let that bother him (I mean, really – his transcripts have never even been released. We don’t even know what kind of student he was, and they’re changing names of SCHOOLS?? Wow.).

  • TeakWoodKite

    Gee, now I can’t be critical of Palitininian children watching Seseme Street and having big bird blow himself up in a crowded market. Or was that mickey mouse?

    Barack Hussein Obama
    He said that we must take a stand
    To make sure everyone gets a chance
    Mmm, mmm, mm!

    .
    “Who is everyone, we, and a chance at what?” Alex?

    Noooo, so sorry, “Who is Chairman Mao and a little red book”.

    Frakin amazing. As to the students, what was the “teachable moment”?
    Mommy, I sang BO’s praise today!!! I would be a concerned parent and the next school board meeting would get heated.
    Which makes for the irony of taking a stand and giving everyone a chance. We are facing two more rounds of budget cuts in which several schools in the district may close. Love them chances.

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    Thanks, Jackarooty! I appreciate that! And yes, it is scary…

    Lyn, yes – thank you for mentioning that (though I did pick the video that mentioned that at the “Information” section). Yep – it’s in NJ.

  • Onofre’s arm

    It’s usually wacked out cultist teenagers that need intensive deprograming. Now we have kindergartners in need of it. This is an OUTRAGE! It is down right evil for that woman to do that to someone else’s inocent children. Firing her is not enough, she should be charged and classified as a child abuser, because there is no doubt that this was mental abuse.

  • gumsnapper

    Okay, the Jamestown Group, really? How many of these groups are out there that are connected to this radical Obama? Do we have a final count yet?

  • oowawa

    Rev. Amy, I am very disappointed that the lyricist of this inspiring hymn did not take advantage of the opportunity to rhyme “Obama” with “Hosanna,” which “is the cry of praise or adoration shouted in recognition of the Messiahship of Jesus on his entry into Jerusalem, Hosanna! Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!” (Wikipedia)

    Barack Hussein Obama–
    You rock!
    We’re sayin’ Hosanna!
    Mmmm Mmmmm Mmmmmmm . . .

  • Docelder

    Harvard… we really need to end the slobberfest that we have allowed for the elite academia types. presidents from Harvard, presidents from Yale… all the same… spoiled brats who think they know best what is good for the rest of us. What we need is a state college president from anywhere not on the East or West coasts. Maybe somebody who has actually done something in their life besides having their strings pulled for them. Like that would ever be allowed to happen.

  • Docelder

    I am beginning to think that day will come. Maybe after he steps into the rebuilt temple mount and declares himself god. Maybe then. ;)

  • Lyn

    But people at least chose to take part in those camps, unlike these parents who just sent their child to public school, not knowing what their children would be taught. (but you can’t say a prayer in school?)

  • Peggy Sue

    I almost hate to admit this but . . . I was born and raised in Burlington, N.J. Haven’t been there for a long time and the schools were very good many moons ago.

    I almost spit my food across the table when I saw my hometown at the center of all this.

    Is it propaganda? Of course, it is. And I understand the teacher who instigated this fiasco has strong Obambi ties. This is not unlike the teachers humiliating students in North Carolina [I think] if they said their parents were voting for McCain. This sort of political indoctrination does not belong in the classroom, period. Can you imagine if this was a song praising GW & Cheney. Holy Hell would erupt, as it should.

    This is a no-no, regardless of party.

    But I had nothing to do with it :0).

  • Cindy

    or should it be “ohms”?
    Wait. It should actually be “omg!”

  • Onofre’s arm

    You just described Sarah Palin as the solution. Lily fingered Ivy leagers didn’t build this country. Callused, bleeding hands built this country. Hands owned by inspired individuals that grabbed opportunities and held weapons to secure those opportunitues. Hands that were busy with hammers and steel made us great, not ones that loitered around for handouts.

    The Ivy League and other such institutions have become the breeding ground for the type of parasite that has evolved to expect a hard working host to supply it all of it’s needs. We’ve almost reached the tipping point where the parasites outnumber the hosts, and to add insult to injury, the bloodsuckers are now held in higher esteem than those which they feed upon.

    We’re far overdue to place a person that is drenched in the wisdom of blood and sweat in charge of this country. Palin has more than demonstrated her willingness to get elbow deep in blood and guts, and do it with an admireable style. She is the epitome of the American engine.

  • TexasMirth

    Just when I think it cannot get worse,(Obama’s speech at the U.N.) – it gets worse. This video is so depressing. A year ago, I would have been outraged, but today…I just feel defeated when I watch this indoctrination of children.

  • http:/psychobabbleandpotpourri.blogspot.com/ Mary

    Beyond revolting. Still awed that it appears that something worse than bush is in the Oval Office. Bad enough we have to be bombarded with his sinister face 24/7 but now we have to see kids being indoctrinated like this? The day I ever sing a tribute to this fraud would be the day I’d sign myself into an insane asylum.

  • barry bums a ciggie

    When I saw this video yesterday, I had the same thought as you did RRRA, that is, what would parents and Dems do if George Bush’s name were inserted. As a parent, I find this video upsetting and crossing the creepiness line. I will never allow anyone to sell Obama as a personal Jesus to my kids.

  • PainkillerJayne

    lmfao over that one!!!!!!!

  • Babs

    And of course the MSM will be showing this video over and over again to deflect some of the criticism they hurled at conservative parents who were labeled paranoid and even racist for objecting to the “teaching aids” given out to teachers for class discussion after Obama’s speech.

  • http://www.BullShit.com OSellingBullShit

    Did you guys see our “Dear Leader” speech at the UN?? He referred to himself 45 times…. “I hum… I… hum.. I… me… umhh… Me … Me.” By the time he got to the fifth I, I walked out of the room and left my poor mom watched the entire speech. She counted all the I’s and Me’s.

    QUESTION: Isn’t the US President supposed to represent the country not himself at the UN. … The United States stands for freedom and supports democracy around the world. Not ” I stand for freedom…. bala.. bala.”

    It’s sick.

  • Onofre’s arm

    Unspam me…. please. My god, this site has reduced me to the point where I have to ask for such a thing.

  • http://www.bestcelebrityblog.com/ Bestcelebrity

    That is eerily familiar, ME. As it turns out, the woman who coordinated this Praise fest is the same woman who wrote, “I Am Barack Obama,” the CHILDREN’S book.

  • Dale

    Hey… where were you guys on this in June when the video was first released on YouTube? Why is this news now, and not then? What was the agenda of the bloggers who dug this up now, and ignored it back in June. Yes it is terrible, yes the Teachers and Administration were wrong to do it, but it was made during Black History Month, back in February, and was not news when it was released to the public in June.

    Again, why is this news now, and not then?

  • VinceP

    Reid, D-Nev., writes: “‘That speech was phenomenal, Barack,’ I told him. And I will never forget his response. Without the barest hint of braggadocio or conceit, and with what I would describe as deep humility, he said quietly: ‘I have a gift, Harry.’”

    We are blessed by his immaculation.

    Hello, all! I have blogged about this elsewhere, and posted address and phone no. for the school involved- apparently, yesterday the website for the school was overwhelmed, which is great! We must continue to contact these “insane” so-called places of education and complain! We must tell as many as possible, what is going on in these schools! And- I am saying this as a former teacher….I quit three years ago, because I was being harrassed for being too conservative- I was expecting too much from my students- I hereby give you the information: B. Bernice Young Elementary School, in the Burlington Township, in New Jersey…ph. 609-386-3520 OOPS! I just checked out their website, and it’s down! I wonder why?

    The site is still down this morning [Friday], Barbara. I clicked it up and intend to send them an email and/or letter.

    I’m a product of this school system. Infact, Mrs. Young [not sure if its the same woman] was the principal of my grade school. The grade school levels are still considered good schools. However, the middle-highschool levels have been infested with drug problems for the last 20 years.

    I guess the school administration isn’t satisfied. By signing on to this nonsense, they’ll ultimately ruin their grade school system.

    Chairman Mao would be proud!

  • Portia Elizabeth

  • donjo

    Although I despise incidents like this, especially praising the great 0, it was one group of kids led by one fanatical Obot in one little school in New Jersey. But here, you would think the Martians had landed on the White House lawn with their mind-altering ray guns spraying evil thoughts in every direction. Get a grip. The real scary stuff is happening with the flu vaccine, the gigantic gift to big pharma, and our new Vietnam, Afghanistan. (Better known as Pipelineistan.)

    Just as scary is the takeover and pillaging of our people by the big banks and Wall Street. It’s also fun to watch the media and dems try to cover-up or flat-out ignore the Acorn follies. There’s enough deviousness to go around to satisfy everyone.

    But then, venting is maybe a good thing as perhaps the most useful aspect of the internet is to let people anonymously tear down others they do not know instead of resorting to violence.

    The teacher has since retired it was stated this morning.

  • ~~JustMe~~

    Is that a polystyrene temple?

  • Lyn

    The Author of the book (who was doing the event),Charisse Carney-Nunes went to Harvard and was President of the Harvard Black Law Students’ Association. I’m not sure IF se was there the same time as Our Dear Leader

  • Thinker

    My initial reaction is that this is propaganda aimed at children, but now there are reports that the class was celebrating Black History Month.

    If that is true, then of course the class will talk about the first Black President, so I wanted to possibly cut the teacher some slack, but I still go back & forth.

    …A whole song dedicated to him is a bit much.

  • barry bums a ciggie

    You’re absolutely right. My point simply is that “liberals” who find nothing wrong with this video and try to say that it’s a song to celebrate our president, would go nuts if it were Bush. It’s friggin’ creepy and wrong. I have family members who lived through Mao and I’m so not cool with this in our country. This presidency has brought the crazies out in droves from the left. They think they can do anything and everyone would be cool with it. If my kid was in this video and sang this song without my knowing, I would go ballistic!

  • Sassy

    Thanks Amy!
    My grand-daughter is a guitarist and vocalist in her church’s youth band.
    However, for talent shows and duos with her mom in school, all music must be secular.
    We accept that, and yet this kind of exploitation is legitimate!

  • requiredreading

    Hah, hah Tuppence! Soon all the Obotomies will be singing:

    “My bologna has a first name. It’s B-A-R-A-K;
    My bologna has a second name. It’s O-B-A-M-A.
    Oh I love to see him every day
    And if you ask me why, I’ll say:
    ‘Cause B. Obama has a way with
    Making me feel A-OK.”

    And thanks to The One he worships, he’ll probably not be able to get adequate Medicare benefits, as Barky transfers all the funds to make kool-aid injections for the little ones.

    I started singing this around the house during the election to the main tune from the rock opera “Jesus Christ Superstar:”

    O-BAM-a, hey-BAM-a, Bama-bama-hey, Bama-hey-Bama-ho-BAAAAAA-ma. Oh – OB,OB – you’re not right by me – Bama-hey, Bama-ho, SUPERSTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!

  • Peggy Sue

    There’s only one problem with that explanation, Thinker. Black History Month is in February [unless they've changed it].

    The excuses are as lame as the sing-along. I understood this vid was filmed in June.

    I did hear that – Michelle Malkin has that at her site, that Nunes was a classmate of Obama’s. Here’s the link to Nunes biography: http://www.charissecarneynunes.com/

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    Bear in mind that the same woman who “inspired” these TWO songs of praise to The One wrote “I Am Barack Obama.” I find that disturbing, especially since it is a children’s book, as I have said. Who KNOWS what else she has in there (I haven’t read it, but if these Praise lyrics are any indication, I think we should all be worried).

    And who knows in what other schools the more rabid Obots have done something similar? Had this not been put on Youtube, we wouldn’t know abt THIS incident.

  • Onofre’s arm

    You smell a lawsuit? My God, they didn’t force the kiddies to say the Pledge of Allegiance did they? that would certainly bring on the lawsuits.

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    ROTFL – exactly, Buzz!

    And Sassy, excellent point.

    Thinker, it was TWO songs, and these were songs of PRAISE of Obama, not an acknowledgment that he was president. I think that’s a big difference myself…

  • ~~JustMe~~

    LOL Onofre’s arm :)

  • ~~JustMe~~

    Wow barry bums a ciggie
    You sound fired up and ready to go?

    Cannot blame you!

  • Docelder

    I am noticing a pattern, the crisis commander in chief is on the TV again… it seems to me that he is scheduling press conferences on the top of Beck now. Surely he isn’t that petty… or is he?

  • Portia Elizabeth

    My tin foil hat was humming over that, too. Yeah, he’s that petty.

  • Ferd Berfle

    I noticed the same thing. Why did Fox decide to air that insufferable gasbag anyway? Every speech sounds like the last one, complete with rehearsed ums, ahs, and uhs. Perhaps That One has a speech-for-all-occasions generator–yeah that’s the ticket. Small wonder he never hears anything, or listens to anyone–his mouth is in a state of perpetual motion, not allowing a single thought or heard word in edgewise.

  • Katmoon

    The “Speechinator”, running the mouth, jacking the jaws, ram a lama ding dong!

  • Docelder

    Then he calls the press by name… and then asks if they are there? What? He doesn’t even feel the need to appear that the questions and responses are not prearranged. This is like a bad sitcom.

  • Ferd Berfle

    Absolutely correct–It is a cult of personality and these children are being not-so-subtly indoctrinated into the service of That One. This is an Orwellian nightmare. Anyone who thinks this is appropriate needs to have their head examined for 1) a brain and 2) an underlying psychosis.

  • Docelder

    I am seeing a big niche for Fox. They should commit certain of the shows to being Obama free. Put out a pledge that short of an actual national emergency the regular programming won’t be preempted for a presidential news conference. Seeing that they are several time a day events now anyway, this is not so far out. For crying out loud, don’t people deserve some modicum of self determination? Or, do we all have to worship at the same altar now?

  • Ferd Berfle

    This is like a bad sitcom.

    It sure is. But then most sitcoms at least have some sort of plot and don’t meander over hell’s half acre looking for direction. And the actors can at least read their lines without stammering and stuttering. This is so depressing.

  • http://www.rabblerouserruminations.blogspot.com/ Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy

    First of all, y’all are funny – Speechinator.

    Second of all, no kidding – WTH already? Especially since he gets so PETULANT if someone actually asks him a REAL question! He is just like a sullen teenager.

    Please tell me again why the media kept claiming he was so “even keeled” during the election? EVERY time he was asked a real question he lashed out. That hasn’t stopped.

    Third of all, hell yes, he is that petty.

    And fourth of all, Docelder, YES – we all have to worship at the same altar. Please return to the top of the page and put that video on a continuous loop so you will have nothing else running through your head but Praise For His Lordship.

    I saw something very truthful on the news this morning(shock) speaking of how this back and forth doesn’t make it right for Dems to do what they are doing, and the man who was speaking was a dem; saying in essence so you think a get even makes it right. I went over to Huffpo(yes I know, I know) and of course they have an article, saying Katrina victom’s children, sang the praises of Bush, too! (you pushed me first, no you did). So is that all dems have anymore, is the big get even? Have they lost their minds altogether?
    Also, I cannot think of any self respecting person, foisting their political agenda on children; using soldiers for background shots, and making hay of 9/11 all for political theater. This song, is to promote this idiot’s book. I don’t care what race she is, who she went to school with or anything else. It just doesn’t surprise me anymore. I won’t however, allow her to remove my ability to discern, she is an individual and not a representative of anyone other than herself; none of us can afford to do that to others.

    There is a good article going back and sort of making a full circle of this topic in relation to the children being used, and what I perceive to be the increase in what is now being called “political rage”. It made some very good sense, and blamed both sides, a rare read.

    “If that is true, then of course the class will talk about the first Black President, so I wanted to possibly cut the teacher some slack, but I still go back & forth.”

    My guess is there wasn’t much to talk about, since he didn’t have any special accomplishments, and his past is primarily a mystery. They wouldn’t talk about the cheating, lies, and selection. So I guess all that was left was to write a cult of personality song….

    I am the caucasion parent of an adopted African American daughter and have an 18 month old African American grandson that is the joy of my life, but the thought of him growing up to be put in a situation like this is very SCARY to me.

It’s true that some of the above might have been outside of Obama’s control, however he did have control over the use of the word Renegade for him and Beast for his vehicle. Obama would do well to remember King Herod, Acts 12:21 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. Acts 12:22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man Acts 12:23 And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

    This is much ado about nothing. It’s not like PO had anything to do with it. More stuff taken out of context to create a distraction on behalf of the Repubs.

    BTW, this is not unique to Obama. Check out this youtube clip from a Nixon documentary (2:44 min).

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TP_oOJiuvW4&feature=PlayList&p=6AE90595B49D8C31&index=16

    I am agreement with most on here that I do not think we should not hero worship ANY president. But aren’t we laying on the outrage a bit thick here?

  • Sean

    I love that! That is funny! Well we all have to bow to the beloved leader… Teachers should know better! They should all be fired from the top down!!!

  • Lyn

    I’m sure if the school has a special author come in for the day, she didn’t just have an assembly with just this 1 class, THIS class just happens to be the one that was put on Youtube. So it probably wasn’t the retired teacher who organized this, it would have been some one higher up.

  • barry bums a ciggie

    What is the lesson in this little chant for the kids? One could argue that if the kids sang praises of Dubya keeping the country safe, it would be fine as well? Keep this shit out of the schools!
