A middle school teacher has been suspended for posting a video of his Barack Obama-slogan chanting, arm-waving drill team on YouTube.
The report from Fox News said the teacher, whose name was being withheld by the school district, was suspended today for the video revealing his students chanting lines from Obama talking points and wearing military-style uniforms.
According to Fox News, the school learned about the posting of the video, called "Obama Youth Junior Fraternity Regiment," and immediately took action.

Why is the teacher's name being withheld. Is he under 18 years of age?
This was a public school?! The plot thickens.
It was a charter school.
A video called “Obama Youth - Junior Fraternity Regiment” is a hit on YouTube, but reportedly has caused the suspension of a middle school teacher in Kansas City, Mo.
The video, showing children in military uniforms addressing “President Obama” and chanting his “yes, we can” campaign line, has been viewed more than half a million times.
Joyce McGautha, head of the Urban Community Leadership Academy, was quoted by Fox News saying, “People are upset that possibly taxpayer money is being used to support one particular candidate.”
She said the charter school’s board will rule on the teacher’s future, according to Fox.

Who wrote the script? I can't understand 1/2 of what they're saying. Sad to see kids brainwashed like this.
“personnel” issues are very sensitive with school districts
So was he suspended for forming the group, or allowing video to be made and leaked?
ROFL, I thought you said it was just a bunch of leg soldiers.....would have made sense!
I was going to try to figure it out but I didn’t have time today. It shouldn’t be hard by process of elimination to find out who. There can’t be only so many teachers and if someone called up and went through the list of male teachers. It is easy enough to find one who is not available.

If armies really do fight on their stomachs, I think we're screwed.
I don’t think even charter schools are allowed to be politically partisan since they are publically funded. At least they shouldn’t be.
Yeah, give us her name...even the Gestapo officers had names. How come these Obama Marxist try this stuff to see if they can make inroads with it and then slink back to obscurity by taking down the post or link or having some administrator cover up their name.
It’s just like their dear leader with his, “He’s not the man I knew...” or “That was inartful.” or “He’s just a guy from the neighborhood”. It’s the most passive/aggressive pussya** way of running a Marxist revolution. At least Lenin had real brass...not like this ‘My Bad Pansy’.
I wanna puke, to alow innocent children to be “brainwashed” in this manner sickens me.
Hitler youth comes to mind.
imagine them with a batan or a knife or a broken beer bottle.......
civilian security forces coming our way.....
show this video to some of the stupid white people or Korean people or Vietnamese people or latino people in this country who think voting for hussein is a good thing....NOT!
I did not know that. It seems very strange, something like protecting the guilty in order to punish the innocent.
That is something a good investigative reporter should be doing. But I doubt that any will do it.
Levin covered it well. That was a nice gift, probably got us a million votes.
Worse ... these are the ones that will have a federal LE badge and a weapon if Obama has his way.
The teacher will disappear out of the news just like “david kernell”.
GOOD!
