Democrats and Unions...You can't trust them

A Wisconsin school district is apologizing after middle school students were shown a video that featured Hollywood celebrities pledging to be a servant to President Obama.“I pledge to be a servant to our president,” Demi Moore said in the “I Pledge,” video shown Wednesday at Hudson Middle School.
The video was part of a number of Peace One Day activities, an international event to build peace awareness. The students were also invited to make their own pledges after viewing the video. But there was a big problem – the video conveyed the idea that Americans should serve the presidency instead of our elected officials serving the citizens, Fox9 News in Minneapolis reported.
“I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama,” Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis said.
Those statements led the middle school and the Hudson School District to issue apologies.
“We apologize for any part of the video that was offensive to students, their families and staff,” Principal Dan Koch said in a prepared statement. “We respect the Office of the President of the United States but like all of our other elected officials – that office serves each of us as well.”
The principal also made an announcement to students explaining why the video was inappropriate.
Local residents expressed their outrage over the video on social networking websites.
“Unfortunately, the video also had a political slant,” she said. “The district is non-partisan and does not endorse the political messages found in this video.”
While the school district said showing the video was a mistake, they said the purpose of the event was to raise student awareness and encourage involvement “in taking positive action in their schools and communities.”

.“That is the creepiest and scariest video I have ever seen,” one reader wrote. “They ruined a good message by making it left wing.”
Superintendent Mary Bowen-Eggebraaten said the video will not be used in the district again.
These people worship Obama.Yes this is one of the weirdest videos i ever seen and it is & downright dangerous they think Obama is,a GOD.
Man oh man, now if they would only teach reading, writing, arithmetic and science......now wonder kids aren’t ready for college.
Brain dead flipping drones.
I thought Demi Moore had styled herself as some sort of Republican back in the Bruce Willis days.
To Serve Obama.
It’s a cookbook.
The two most dangerous entities in this country.
No 1-—the media
No 2-— public schools
They are most responsible for the trouble this country is in.

If Demi were more like Reggie, she might could service Obama. She’s the wrong sex for the gig.
Fire the teacher who showed the video. Why is the teacher not identified?
Joseph Goebbels would be impressed.
Well, isn’t that patriotic? I have no idea who most of them are, but would find it interesting to see if they are following their pledge. What would be even more interesting is to see how they feel about their patriotism in 2016. I suppose it will depend on whether Hilliary wins.
If you have kids in government schools, watch closely. Hopefully, more parents will be vigilant to stop these commie-loving “educators” from abusing your kids.
It’s not a good message! All the anti-male/anti-capitalist/anti-American/Anti-God propaganda should be reviled for the poison that it is. Mindless drones—that’s the NEA and Hollywood’s goal.
I cannot argue with that, nor the order.
As much as we can be offended by Obama, the fact is that he is a media creation. He is a fraud, who'd have difficulty be elected beyond a town council If the Media just performed a normal relaying of information, counter arguments, and investigation. Instead they set up a barrier around their pet pony, and don't allow criticism. And you are correct about the Public Schools. Their function seems to be to produce good slaves of the State.
Well, here a shock the video is produced by Harpo Productions. An Oprah Winfrey owned company.
What I would like to know is who paid for the video.

I wonder if Bruce Willis dumped her because of things like this?
“I pledge to be a servant to our president,” Demi Moore said in the “I Pledge,”She smoked something
