Parents are outraged after a Utah elementary school showed a video to schoolchildren about pledging to "to be of service to Barack Obama," "to never give anyone the finger when I'm driving again," "to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid" and to advance stem-cell research.

The video, titled "I Pledge" and produced by Demi Moore, features more than 50 Hollywood celebrities who offer their support for President Obama's policies. The film was played for Obama during his inaugural celebration.

But school administrators at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington, Utah, showed the video to young students at an Aug 28 school assembly, sparking outrage from parents and conservative groups who called the film "radical, leftist propaganda," the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

"I Pledge" opens with a popular depiction of Obama. The president states, "Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other."

The following are some of the more controversial pledges:

* I pledge allegiance to the funk of the united funk of funkadelica.

* I pledge to never give anyone the finger when I'm driving again

* I pledge to advance stem-cell research

* To reduce my use of plastic … use less bottled water … plant 500 trees this year … to be more green … to no longer use plastic bags at the grocery store

* For the environment, I plan to flush only after deuce, never a single

* I pledge to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid

* I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama

Demi Moore and the hollyweird elites want the minions to abandon their “obnoxious” vehicles in favor of hybrids while they jet around the world and are driven in limousines. I have a gesture to share with them.

Principal said she didn’t review the video before it was shown. I would have been livid at the showing of this video. The propaganda by Obama to our school children needs stopped like yesterday. Like most people, I didn’t know this video existed.

Great idea for a bunch of elementary school kids. I'm sure the janitorial staff was thrilled. < /s>

My wife has been "guilted" by her family to use reusable shopping bags but we were using supermarket shopping bags in all our small wastebaskets and to throw out kitty litter waste. Now we have to BUY trash bags. I have tried to explain to her how STUPID and NONSENSICAL that is, but it has not yet sunk in. It drives me up a wall.

That actor should be ashamed of himself. Doesn't he know all indoor toilets inherently RAPE the environment? I hope he can see the error in his ways and go out and squat on the the compost heap when nature calls from now on.
