Free Republic

Another video of children chanting and singing the praises of the dear leader Obama. This time they're in Asheville, NC. Communism comes to the South.

Those who give up their children to be indoctrinated politically do not deserve the blessing of having children, but they do deserve to lose the freedom they no longer cherish. That their children will share that fate is the saddest thing of all.

President Obama wants kids to spend more time in school. Students in the U.S. need more class time to remain competitive with students around the world, the President said. Obama advocates schools adding time to classes, extending hours into evenings and weekends, and shortening summer vacation. "Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas, not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom," Obama said. Some schools that extended their hours have seen positive results. Early results...

Claims made by the anti-marriage side of the Proposition 8 battle that unfolded last year in California asserted that unless marriage parity was stripped away from gay and lesbian families, children in kindergarten would be "indoctrinated" through school lessons teaching them about alternative families. Though education officials denied this, the message resounded with voters, who rescinded existing family rights for gays and lesbians at the ballot box last November. But even though gay and lesbian families lost access to marriage in that state, California parents are still asserting that kindergartners are being exposed to lessons about gays and lesbians in...

Just a funny thing here I'd thought I would share. Creepy lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxwhiDDsuDc

HAVE YOU WATCHED THIS VIDEO? In a blatant, disgusting display of scripted indoctrination, New Jersey school children are taught to sing praises of worship and adoration to our dear leader, Barack Obama. Perhaps this explains why some parents were squeamish at the announcement of the dear leader's recent speech to students in public schools. Below you'll see and hear the two well-rehearsed songs of glorification. The first appears to be an original, while the second, believe it or not, is sung to the tune of the Battle Hymn of the Republic! And just in case you want to follow along,...

Follow-up on the massive scandal building in New Jersey over second-graders being taught Obama praise song at a New Jersey elementary school. A review of the propaganda session has been ordered by the commissioner of New Jersey's Department of Education:

When they're not involved in defending themselves from accusations of voter fraud or promoting child prostitution on videotape the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) also run radio stations in Dallas and Little Rock and high schools in New York City.The AP reported on thiss diverse organization on Saturday: Its affiliates include nonprofit radio stations KNON in Dallas and KABF in Little Rock. The stations and ACORN work closely together, share a common mission and have offices in the same buildings, Kettenring said. Two schools in New York City have partnered with ACORN and bear its name:...

This first video is the now infamous video of kindergarteners singing a song in praise of President Obama at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in New Jersey. It's one of the creepiest and most disturbing videos I've seen in a while. It's for good reason that it's disturbing. It's almost become a cliche to refer to this video as something akin to Mao, Kim Jong Il, and Stalin. In those nations, we would expect such a video. We shouldn't expect it in America. Yet, that's exactly what we have. Worse yet, these are kindergarteners and so in no position to...

By now most, if not all of you, have seen this video of school children praising Obama. It was posted to YouTube just two days before Obama's speech to the students across America, which makes me wonder if it was part of some school’s festivities for the screening. This video justifies the fears many parents have that their kids are being politically indoctrinated by the school system. This is something that has been going on for years and congress was even warned about in 1963, but more on that in a moment. As we all know, this is not...

"The ground has shifted. The world has changed!" Oooo yes yes yes yes YES WE CAN! What's going on? Did the Teacher's Union hold a contest for best Obama song? Here's another one-- A new Obama song by 3rd graders was recently released on the internet. From MisterBee2009: From the video: We began to write the song after watching the Inauguration. Our school day is packed bell to bell with academics, but were usually able to spend the last five minutes of singing songs as short ELD (English Language Development) activities. Day by day we used this tiny window of...

I recently saw the first video of the school kids singing the Barack Obama song in class. At first I thought it was the promo for the new “Children_of_the Corn” film or perhaps another remake of “Village of the Damned”, but alas, it is not. It is real. But I think it’s way scarier than either of those two retreads will be. This is the single spookiest thing I’ve seen since “Jeepers Creepers” in the theater. It’s a bigger freak show than that Nancy Pelosi press conference where she lied about the CIA. But, it tells us a lot. It...

My Good Freepers, Please help me locate all Black History Month videos featuring children singing the praises of any noted conservative. Just one, please. I'll sit here and hold my breath.

The Republican National Committee has sent a fundraising email to supporters tied to what it calls the "fanaticism" displayed in a video of New Jersey elementary-school students singing a song praising President Obama. (Watch it at left.) RNC Chair Michael Steele writes that the video shows "the indoctrination of our nation's greatest treasure -- our children." "Friend, this is the type of propaganda you would see in Stalin's Russia or Kim Jong Il's North Korea," Steele writes. "I never thought the day would come when I'd see it here in America." The video, which shows students learning songs praising Mr....

Officials in one Northwest Arkansas elementary school says people across the nation and Canada are calling them, angry about a You Tube video that shows the students singing a song about President Obama. But they say it's all a case of mistaken identity. Bernice Young Elementary School in Springdale has been taking angry calls from all over the country from people upset about a You Tube video of B. Bernice Young school kids singing about President Barack Obama. There's only one problem: it wasn't the Springdale Bernice Young students doing the singing. The song went something like this: "Red, yellow,...

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP -- New Jersey's education commissioner ordered a review after a YouTube video shows school children learning a song celebrating President Barack Obama. The video shows more than a dozen youngsters at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township. The district said the students were participating in Black History Month in February. Education Department spokeswoman Kathryn Forsyth said the commissioner has directed the school superintendent to review what happened. Forsyth said the commissioner wants to ensure that students can celebrate Black History Month without "inappropriate partisan politics in the classroom." Forsyth also said the teacher who directed the...

Another video of children singing praises of Barack Obama has surfaced on Youtube. In this case the kids appear to be students at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey. The overall effect is somewhat creepy. American patriotic hymns do not, as a rule, celebrate people, even great ones like Washington and Lincoln. The Star Spangled Banner and the Battle Hymn of the Republic celebrate the common people of America, struggling to win and to maintain freedom. What happened at B. Bernice Young Elementary School is even more egregious in the fact that at least for the Sing...

Primary schoolchildren filmed singing a song praising President Obama are at the centre of a storm of controversy in the U.S. after the video was posted on the internet. Right wing critics blasted the school for promoting politics in the classroom. The video shows more than a dozen children dancing and singing a song about the president, quoting from his speeches and campaign slogans. The chorus includes the chant ‘Mmm, mmm, mm! Barack Hussein Obama.’ One verse says: ‘He said that all must lend a hand. To make this country strong again.’ Another goes: ‘He said we must be clear...

Obama! Leave them kids alone!

MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell on Thursday appeared mystified as to why anyone would have a problem with New Jersey school children being led in a song praising Barack Obama. The February 2009 video contained these lyrics: "He said we must be fair today! Equal work means equal pay! Barack Hussein Obama! He said, red yellow, black or white, all are equal in his sight! Barack Hussein Obama!" She complained to conservative columnist Tim Carney, "I mean, this is children. They're singing a song...If you can make your point again about why this is indoctrination, political indoctrination to praise your President." The...

Apologies if I missed anyone commenting on this, but none of the posts I've seen mentions this-the excerpt from the lyrics the schoolkids had to sing in praise to BO: Barack Hussein Obama He said Red, Yellow, Black or White All are equal in his sight Mmm, mmm, mm! is taken from the children's hymn "Jesus Loves the Little Children Jesus loves the little childrenAll the children of the world Red and yellowBlack and whiteThey are precious in His sight.Jesus loves the little childrenOf the world. I thought it was bad enough when he compared himself with Lincoln and JFK

In case you were wondering which school taught kids that “Barack Hussein Obama mmm mmm mmm” rap that I posted yesterday afternoon (http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/23/dear-leader-in-the-classroom/), here are some new details. The video was originally posted in June 2009 here by YouTube user “brandnuwords.” Update: She has now removed the video sometime this morning. Here is the screenshot: “Brandnuwords” is the YouTube account of Charisse Carney-Nunes. More on her in a moment. YouTube user “alteredbeat” re-posted the video on September 6 here. Alteredbeat e-mailed Carney-Nunes to inquire about the location of the school. She told him it was a school in South Jersey....

Fox News: 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.

(no article - just YouTube link)

Youtube of kids being taught to praise Obama. I think I'm gonna be sick!

"Video shot by Charisse-Carney Nunes and uploaded to her youtube account here... You can clearly see her book "I am Barack Obama" on a stand to the left of the kids by the stage. She was there to pimp her book. She is a former Harvard Law School friend of Obama's. She is the Senior VP of Programs for the Jamestown Project... Drudge posted the video on his page and I spoke to the guy who posted the video tonight for over an hour. He emailed Charisse as a "fan" and got her to give up that the school was...

It is unbelievable what is going on in our country. This has to be stopped.

Video link. Kids singing praise to OBAMA

That video and material that was shown to schoolkids throughout the nation was just an innocent attempt to get the kids motivated right? Nevermind the fact that the first instructions sent out had the kids write out what they could do to help Obama out.... That was changed and everything was hunky-dory again. But the worries that the cult of personality would seep into the kids mind have proven well founded: [VIDEO AT SITE] From Hot Air: ...one of the lines about The One here, heard near the beginning from the kid who’s singing solo, is an adaptation from a...

No word on where or when this was shot but it was posted to YouTube just two days before The One’s speech to students, which makes me wonder if it was part of some school’s festivities for the screening. I think parents’ fears about their kids being politically indoctrinated are usually overblown, but I’m open to persuasion by compelling evidence — like, for example, this, or the vid you’re about to see. Getting little kids to croon about how awesome the president is troubles me less than the pop quiz the boss posted, mainly because they’re too young to understand...

A public school music teacher was yesterday jailed for having a lesbian relationship with a 15-year-old pupil - but told she could continue seeing her when she leaves prison. A court heard that trumpet mistress Helen Goddard, 26, helped weave a web of lies so the ' vulnerable' girl could stay in her flat overnight, and took her for a weekend in Paris, where they joined a gay pride march. Judge Anthony Pitts jailed Goddard for 15 months, saying: 'This case is so serious an immediate sentence of imprisonment is inevitable.' But despite hearing from the girl's parents the devastating...

Pacific Justice Institute president Brad Dacus San Francisco, Calif., Sep 18, 2009 / 06:12 am (CNA).- A homosexual activist group is claiming that groups at dozens of high schools and middle schools in California, including at least one Catholic school, have signed up to show and discuss its explicit films. The films include one in which a boy “comes out” by wearing his mother’s bikini.Another film uses Native American spirituality to depict lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people as being “two-spirit” people.Parts of the discussion materials encourage students to question whether religious and cultural celebrations such as bar...

A letter from the U.S. Department of Education was recently sent to America’s school principals, announcing that President Barack Obama “will deliver a national address to the students of America” on Tuesday, September 8, at 12 noon EDT. The letter encouraged “students of all ages, teachers, and administrators to participate in this historic moment by watching the president deliver the address, which will be broadcast on the White House website.” The letter goes on to state that the President “…will speak directly to the nation’s children and youth about persisting and succeeding in school.” and “…encourages educators to use this...

Prior to his nationally broadcast speech to students on Tuesday, President Barack Obama made a pitch for health care reform in a discussion with 40 freshmen at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Va. Although the president avoided controversial topics in his speech, he did promote health care reform in a face-to-face discussion at Wakefield High School. Asked by a student how he stays motivated to do his job, Obama replied that his staff gives him 10 letters every day from “ordinary folks.” “Some of the stories are really depressing,” Obama told the 40 freshman, who were chosen to meet with...

Tomorrow as we send our children and grandchildren off to school, I ask that each of you take the time to pray in EARNEST that their minds, their souls and their spirits are UNTOUCHED by what will be fed them. I realize you've all been doing this already....but I felt led to post this as a reminder.Thanks....

I wasn't sure if there was going to be a live thread or anyone discussing this as it's going on, so....

A controversy has erupted over President Obama’s plan to address your children today in schools all over the U.S. Conservatives have rallied in opposition to the president’s address saying that the president’s agenda may not be one of education or inspiration, but of indoctrination. Those accusations have targeted the “Lesson Plan” that is to accompany the speech, rather than the speech itself. Following the conservative backlash, the White House issued a statement saying the “Lesson Plan” had been “inartfully worded” and the president and his people began to position the planned speech and lesson plan simply as a call from...

Administration’s Suggestions for Teachers: Read Books about Obama, Post Obama Quotes on Classroom Walls Tuesday, September 08, 2009 By Terence P. Jeffrey, Editor-in-Chief (CNSNews.com) - The “corrected” lesson plans the U.S. Department of Education is suggesting that schools around the country use to turn President Obama’s speech to students today into a “teachable moment” still call for teachers to read books about Obama and to post quotations from Obama in large print on classroom walls. The Department of Education created two “menus of classroom activities” for use with the president’s speech. One is designed to guide Pre-K through 6th grade...

The bottom line is we need the president of the United States of America to use his bully pulpit to talk to kids about the importance of education and to help inspire kids--Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers It has come as quite a surprise to Randi Weingarten, the leftist National Education Association and teachers unions, Education Secretary Arne Duncan and the White House that not all parents are willing to toe the Democratic Party line when it comes to President Barack Obama using his “bully pulpit” to speak to America’s children on Tuesday. In fact, as...

It’s fairly simple, really. Tens of millions of American parents don’t trust him. The upset over this morning’s presidential address to schoolchildren isn’t about the partisan divide, it’s about the president’s arrogance. After seven months of crammed-down-your-throat Obama agenda, half the country has had a bellyful. After seven months of being told that they don’t matter, half the country is returning the sentiment. They don’t trust him with their children not because they’re paranoid, but because he’s not trustworthy. He has shown himself to be an enemy to their values and beliefs – to be hostile to their families and...

I have no problem with a President of the United States addressing school children, even in the classroom. But when the Department of Education formulates a lesson plan asking teachers to glorify the Office of the President and calls for students to read books about presidents “and Barack Obama,” the line is crossed between a nonpartisan speech and partisan political indoctrination. An address by any president has an impact on a child. Those who grew up in the late 1980s anywhere in the western world likely remember hearing the words of Ronald Reagan. As a nine year old child, I...

OK, so it’s a lovely, fairly innocuous speech. So, were conservatives justified in opposing this presentation? Perhaps not, but I can’t help but wonder—based on all we know about Obama’s past with radical “educators” who have openly expressed their belief that the schoolchildren is where the revolutions are sown—what the speech looked like before the Right started complaining about it. What am I saying? That there was an original speech that was much different than this original one? Well, I don’t have proof, but yes, I do. There seems to be a repeating pattern: The Obama administration and/or Democrat Congress...

The prepared text of President Barack Obama's back-to-school address scheduled for Tuesday, as released in advance by the White House: OBAMA: Hello, everyone — how's everybody doing today? I'm here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we've got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through 12th grade. I'm glad you all could join us today. I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it's your first day in a new school, so it's understandable if...

If you don't see eye-to-eye on an issue with your ideological counterparts - rather than debate the issue, you can go on national TV and call them derogatory names like liberal talking head David Sirota has done. Earlier on CNN's Sept. 7 "American Morning", as NewsBusters' Noel Sheppard pointed out, Sirota called Fox News host Glenn Beck a "right-wing political terrorist" and added that Van Jones was "a national hero." But this time he set his sights on Florida Republican chairman Jim Greer and "people like Jim Greer" who were concerned about President Barack Obama speaking to school children in...

NBC's John Harwood smears parents as stupid, plus a video from the NBC Nightly News going to bat for the Dear Leader on his speech to school children...

After what I'm sure were several trips back to the drawing board after the administration got caught with its intentions out there for all to see, President Obama's speech to the school kids is available for public consumption. I don't for a moment believe that this is the speech that the president originally intended to give. I also don't believe in Santa, the Great Pumpkin or any desire to negotiate on the part of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The speech in its current form is fairly innocuous. As Michelle Malkin reminds us, however, there is more going on here than mere words...

Parents do not trust the Educator-in-Chief and his "comrades." You can take Obama from the radicals in Chicago. But you can't take the Chicago radicalism out of Obama. – Michelle Malkin On Tuesday the President of the United States will speak to school children across the nation in a television address. A large number of parents will keep their children home in the belief that this is an inappropriate use of the bully pulpit. But what did they expect from a community organizer whose playbook is Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky? (To understand Rules for Radicals, see my previous...

<p>The President: Hello everyone – how’s everybody doing today? I’m here with students at Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia. And we’ve got students tuning in from all across America, kindergarten through twelfth grade. I’m glad you all could join us today.</p> <p>I know that for many of you, today is the first day of school. And for those of you in kindergarten, or starting middle or high school, it’s your first day in a new school, so it’s understandable if you’re a little nervous. I imagine there are some seniors out there who are feeling pretty good right now, with just one more year to go. And no matter what grade you’re in, some of you are probably wishing it were still summer, and you could’ve stayed in bed just a little longer this morning.</p>

President Soetoro’s September 8th speech tomorrow is his version of “No Child left Un-indoctrinated,” a speech that will be broadcasted across the entire United States and into our nation’s schools in an inartfully conceived act of propaganda. The speech and the lesson plan are all designed to have our children acclaim, ballyhoo and idolize Barry Soetoro. Yes, the Barry Soetoro administration did withdrew the inartful wording as it appeared in the original draft of the Department of Education’s supplemental instructional teacher’s guide that was published nationwide. But the supplement lesson plan of the president’s speech to America’s school children remains....

Firestorm Erupted As Critics Charge White House With Indoctrination. A presidential video address to the nation’s school children erupted into a firestorm of controversy after the White House disseminated an activities list which, among other things, called for grade students to “write letters to themselves about what they can do to help the president.” The president is poised to deliver an address to the nation’s students on September 8th. According to a press release issued by the White House on Wednesday, the speech stresses the “importance of taking responsibility for [students] success in school.” But, in preparing for the academic...
