Would it be too much to ask that they just teach them to read to write and do math and real history
Oh, c’mon. I’m sure these 3rd-graders came up with the idea on their own. Stop being such a bunch of right-wing, heartless, reactionaries. /s
Here are lyrics to the song:
Some people have it all
But they still don’t think they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes — they’re the 1 percent
I used to be one of the 1 percent
I worked all the time
Never saw my family
Couldn’t make life rhyme
Then the bubble burst
It really, really hurt
I lost my money
Lost my pride
Lost my home
Now I’m part of the 99
Some people have it all
But they still don’t think they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes — they’re the 1 percent
I used to be sad, now I’m satisfied
’Cause I really have enough
Though I lost my yacht and plane
Didn’t need that extra stuff
Could have been much worse
You don’t need to be first
’Cause I’ve got my friends
Here by my side
Don’t need it all
I’m so happy to be part of the 99

good little comrade. drink your Obama juice.
Unless, of course, the topic is a prayer or wearing the American flag on some Mexican holiday.
It reads like Bruce Springsteen wrote it.
So, these kids, (many of whom still believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy), are politcally astute enough to not only know who the "Occupy" movement is, what they stand for, but also understand their motivation? The arrogance of this liar is staggering ... yet, not a single reporter has had the courage to call this liar, a 'liar'. The 'kids' didn't write this song - the only songs kids at this age care about deal with Jingle Bells and relate to Batman.
Obviously the work of a 15 year old dumber-than-a-5th-grader pothead who only knows 3 chords.
or his idol, Arlo Guthrie.
Anyone out there still convinced that forceful resistance won’t be necessary to right this ship? We are under full assault by Marxists who now control the media, most of the government, and our schools. Ten years ago I might have called anyone who said boxcars and camps would be in our future a nutjob. Now, how could I?
Ur a poopy poopy
Spongebob and Patrick
I am ice cream flavor
Chocolate or Vanilla
You smeel! Bobby’s dumb.
I want a bicicle
My sistr is a smelly
I like fun.
yeah like I Believe for ONE second that 8 year olds even know what the Occupy Bowel Movement even is. My cousin is around the same age, all he cares about is Yu Gi Oh cards and XBOX games. This is indoctrination plain and simple
When they do "God Rest Ye Merry gentlemen" in front of their living Nativity scene next year, the long knives will come out, won't they, Comrade Spokesman?
“We really don’t censor the topics that students come up with,”
Yeah, except maybe topics like “Silent Night”,
or “manmade global warming is a pile of polar bear crap” (I made up that last one, but would love to help a kid write lyrics)
So, on the one hand....
“The boys and girls worked with a facilitator to come up with a theme and lyrics for a song.”
While on the other hand.....
“Giaramita said he has no doubts that eight-year-old children could write such lyrics and denied that teachers might have influenced their song choice.”
So what did the “facilitator” do?
Except when they want to discuss Christmas or perhaps want to salute the flag,,,,,,,,,,,
