Public school caught once more brainwashing our children.

ANOTHER OBAMA SONG-- 3rd Graders Sing Praises to Dear Leader
"The ground has shifted. The world has changed!"
Oooo yes yes yes yes YES WE CAN!
What's going on?
Did the Teacher's Union hold a contest for best Obama song?
Here's another one--
A new Obama song by 3rd graders was recently released on the internet.
From MisterBee2009:
From the video:
'We began to write the song after watching the Inauguration. Our school day is packed bell to bell with academics, but were usually able to spend the last five minutes of singing songs as short ELD (English Language Development) activities. Day by day we used this tiny window of time to brainstorm lyrics. As the song took shape, the children became more and more proud of their accomplishment. It soon morphed into a tribute to MLK and others honored for their work towards social justice.
By February the song was done. We got requests to come and perform from adjacent classrooms that heard it coming from our room at the end of the day. Their egos boomed. I decided to make it something they'd never forget by producing the video. Nobody forced the children to participate--in fact a few sat it out. When it was finished, they were hoping the President himself would see it and wanted to be able to show it to friends and relatives. We got the consent of parents as well as the administration and put it online.
That's the story. We hope you like the song.
The Obama Song ("Proud American")
By Mr. B and the students of Room 8
February 2009
Obama is the President!
First African America in history
44th president of the United States
The ground has shifted
The world has changed!
CHORUS:
Oooo Im a proud American
Oooo yes yes yes yes YES WE CAN!
Im going to study really hard just like Barack
Learning never ever stops
Gonna set my goals HIGH and graduate
You might be looking at the President of 2048!
We are a nation of a thousand colors, look at me
Our strength is our diversity
Walking hand in hand we sing
Each a day a little closer to the dream of Dr. King
(Exerpt from MLK's "I Have a Dream, 1963)
Together we walk
Me and you
So so much work
Left to do.
Chords:
G C G D
G C G D
D C G
D C - G'
How sweet. The teacher even included the chords...
So we can all play along."
The most shocking part of the song is that the students were actually taught to sing, "I'm a proud American." That's certainly a switch from the liberal mindset that everything American is evil. The election of Barack Obama--finally something the leftist teachers have found for which to be proud.
Keep politics, liberal or conservative, out of the classroom, period.

"Keep politics, liberal or conservative, out of the classroom, period."
Sorry to be so crass, but that is pure and utter bullshit.
Government is politics. Civics is politics. If you don't teach a kid these things -- and, much more importantlly, you don't give minority kids a role model they can aspire to -- then we're raising cyborgs... mindless cyborgs.
You say you homeschooled, Ms. Moore. Are you suggesting that you NEVER EVER imparted any of your rightwingnut mores to your poor abused kids? The only thing that gives me hope for them is that maybe the familial proclivity of turning out the opposite of their parents may occur again. And they apparently DO have intelligent grandparents, even if their mom is mentally and morally deficient.
BTW, what, as an alleged "Christian", offends you about the concept of "social justice"? You prefer the typical White Man's Syndrome of social injustice????
KIDDIES' ODE TO BUSHIE:
"Our country's stood beside us People have sent us aid. Katrina could not stop us, our hopes will never fade. Congress, Bush and FEMA People across our land Together have come to rebuild us and we join them hand-in-hand!
The event took place at that year's White House Easter Egg Roll and included roughly 100 children from Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. President Bush, it seems, wasn't in attendance during the song itself. But he was there earlier, when the First Lady read the book, Will You Be My Friend: A Bunny and Bird Story by Nancy Tafuri, to the children."
Diogenes, you miss one key point in your little example about children singing about Bush. It wasn't in a tax-payer funded public school.
Yes, civics must be taught, but from a neutral point of view. Otherwise, it is infringing on parental rights.
Of course, I taught my children about politics from a conservative perspective. But, you miss the point--they are MY children; they do not belong to the state.
As to the subject of "social justice", I can just imagine the liberal brainwashing that occurs with that topic.
Yeah, I hear you: social justice is just not something that rightwingnuts even want to think about. Heaven forbid!
And your oint about indoctrination of youth is so on point. Obviously, Obama is misusing public schools and kids are brainwashed in schools. Everybody knows that they cnanot be brainwashed anywhere else other than public schools, so singing the praises of Bushie is OK. I mean, your kids certainly weren't brainwashed, were they???
Where is it written, exactly, that parents have the right to brainwash their own kids? Where is it written,exacrtly, that ONLY parents can instruct (or, in your case, mis-instruct) their kids about all things political? Is that part of the "I birthed them, so I can screw them up" amendment?
I try to play it down the middle when it comes to controversial issues -- as most teachers do -- but I also disclose my biases, so that the kids understand when I'm offering a personal opinion (when asked for it). It's part of learning how to think critically... something your children, sadly, never had the chance to learn. I bet YOUR parents didn't impose their will on you!
