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 song and is not shown in the video retired at the end of the school year.

I did that the other night. I made screen shots immediately of her face book and all of her friends. We have all learned how fast these disappear. I screen shot everything. If it disappears I know it’s one I need to pay extra attention to.

well the last song they were singing was originally a christian song, mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord

Incorrect. The tune is from the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a part of our civic religion, not Christianity. The lyrics were by Julia Ward Howe, but the melody is from an older abolitionist anthem titled "John Brown's Body".

The brownshirts cannot take us over as long as there is YouTube and the rest of the free blogosphere.

We can sure make it hard of them...

It seemed to me that the black teacher, the Burl. Board of Ed., were willing to be arrogant, have enough chutzpah to tell the parents, ‘it is our time, we are getting back at The Man by taking kids and showing them that our guy is worthy of praise whether you want it or not.’ ACORN and SEIU have the same arrogance with their minority workers. One might have some sympathy if the arrogance did not border on tyranny.

“The thing that makes me wonder about when the video was shot,”

In the last couple days someone — Rush, I think — said the video was shot in June. So... who knows?

I can’t get this song out of my head. It’s inspired me to write more verses. I’m sure these will be very popular with Obama supporters and music lovers everywhere.

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

A lawyer for Acorn was he
They give advice to pimps you see

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

To Reverend Wright’s church he’d go
God damn America was his motto

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

Rezko, Ayers, and Reverend Wright
“We really weren’t that close” Yeah, right!

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

Corruption followed where he’d go
Yet he’s as spotless as the snow

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

He says we must give to the poor
And so he’ll tax us more and more

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

He says he’ll only tax the rich
If you’re well off, then life’s a b****

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

He gives the media’s leg a thrill
Yet they say they’re unbiased still

Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama

Government health care is his cry
So old folks should shut up and die

To be fair, they should sing about past presidents, too. I’m sure no one on the left would object to these lyrics

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
George W Bush

He kept us safe, this much is true
Yet liberals hate him through and through

Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
George W Bush

Chose Roberts and Alito, too
Annoying the ACLU
