BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) ― Conservative groups plan to rally Monday near a New Jersey school where students performed a song celebrating President Barack Obama.

The planned rally has school district officials planning to beef up security at the B. Bernice Young School in Burlington Township, which houses kindergartners through second-graders.

The song drew national attention last month after a video of the performance was posted on YouTube. Conservatives say it shows how schoolchildren are being indoctrinated to idolize Obama, allegations school officials have denied.

Protesters to target Young school

BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP - In response to the controversy over a video about President Barack Obama that surfaced on YouTube in September, several groups are planning a protest at the B. Bernice Young Elementary School on Neck Road on Monday morning.

According to a source, members of at least three groups - the 9/12 Burlington County Group, the Jersey Shore Tea Party Patriots and the Bayshore Tea Party Group - will gather at the school at 10 a.m. to support “the constitutional rights of our children” and protest against “the progressive social agenda promoted by the New Jersey Education Association and the National Education Association.”

Director of Public Safety Walt Corter said Thursday that he had been in contact with the Jersey Shore Tea Party Patriots regarding the protest and last communicated with the group by e-mail Wednesday morning.

In the e-mail, Corter stated, “As we discussed on Oct. 6 and again this morning Oct. 7 during our telephone conversation, you are free to assemble and voice your objections to what occurred at the Young school, but you are reminded, for planning purposes, the township, by ordinance, requires an event permit for any rally or demonstration held in Burlington Township.”

Township Clerk Anthony Carnivale said no event permits had been filed by any group as of Thursday afternoon.

Though Monday is Columbus Day, classes will be in session at the township’s schools, Corter said.

“The school is open and that information was provided to that organization,” he said. “They were told - and I did express concerns - that it’s a school that houses the youngest of our students.”

Corter said the media will be allowed only on sidewalks where the public has the right of way and not on school grounds.

“Basically our main concern is the safety of everyone that’s going to be there, but our priority is the children and the staff at the Bernice Young school,” Corter said.

Superintendent Christopher Manno said he also had been in contact with the rally organizer.

“I requested directly that they reconsider the rally, since school is in session. I told the organizer that our first priority is always the safety of our students and staff and we’re concerned about this making our students uncomfortable,” Manno said.

“I also offered to meet personally with the organizer of the event to discuss this matter in lieu of them having a rally. I personally believe it would be more productive if the organizer would sit down with me and discuss the issues at hand rather than rally at an elementary school that is in session.”

Manno said the organizer “indicated that they planned to move ahead with the rally.”

“I’m going to be sending out a message to all of our families. We certainly don’t want our families to be alarmed,” Manno said. “I’ll be assuring our families that our students and staff will be safe. Participants in the rally will not be permitted on school property.”

He said he had been in communication with Corter.

“(Corter) has assured me they will have sufficient officers present,” Manno said. “I’ve also assigned additional administrators to the Young school for the day. I want parents to be assured that it’s safe to send their children to school.”

The calendar page on the 9/12 Project Burlington County Group’s Web site announces the protest for 9:30 a.m. As of Thursday afternoon there were three sign-ups for the protest.

The controversy stems from a video clip posted on YouTube that recently garnered national media attention. The clip depicts students at the Young school singing a song about Obama.

School officials said an associate of a children’s book author who visited the school in March recorded the video, which has been the subject of national news reports and criticized by some political pundits and parents as indoctrinating children to support the president and his policies.

School officials said the song was performed in honor of Black History Month during assemblies on Feb. 26 and 27 along with skits celebrating Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras and Dental Health Month.

Equal work for equal pay huh? So they are trying to teach kids this does not exist now, and only zer0 will fix that? These teachers ought to go back to school if they don’t know equal work/pay has been a federal law for decades. These people are just sick.

Quite a few of the kids' parents were certainly made to feel "uncomfortable" by the school's indoctrination program.

Why, were the SEIU and ACORN going to show up to counter protest??

[Ulysse]

Director and Administrators of that school don’t seem to care that much about children they have in charge since they are trying to brainwash them never mind what think and want the parents!

Typical liberal fraud

Take your kids out of there, and quit paying school taxes, and the indoctrination stops cold. Sure, you might get in trouble. If you go to war, you might get shot; but if it’s for liberty, for your country and your children’s future, you go.
We are all in this war. Are you supplying the enemy?

[kidd]

This has “backfire” written all over it.

I completely support the idea of a protest, but NOT in front of the school!!!

There must be an adminitrative building for the school district. Or the responsible teacher’s home. I’m willing to do some radical stuff, but this is just setting up a negative photo op. All the media has to do is to get one kid to say that the protestors scare them. Or a video of a brain-dead parent expressing their (unfounded) fears.

[Movemout]

all in all
just another
brick in the wall!

[reagan_fanatic]

Conservatives say it shows how schoolchildren are being indoctrinated to idolize Obama

That's EXACTLY what it is, and it's no different than some of the techniques used by North Korea today or Germany in the '30s.

That's what makes it so disturbing.
