Video: Hey, who’s up for another clip of kids chanting about Obama?
posted at 7:06 pm on September 28, 2009 by Allahpundit
Did Ed post this one already? I’m honestly starting to lose count of how many of these there are. No “mmm mmm mmm” in this one or creepy substitutions of The One for Jesus, but kudos to the teacher who came up with the “change has come” drone. Reminds me of “one of us, one of us.”
I already said everything I had to say on this subject in this post, so check that out if you missed it the first time. Fun fact: According to the YouTube description, this was taped at a PTA meeting. Presumably the parents were sitting right there. Must be a liberal district.

What happened to a nice little rendition of This Is My Country or reciting of the Preamble? Come on people.

Was it Marx who said “Give me education and I’ll plant seeds of communism that will never be uprooted” or something to that effect?
Parents, it’s time for us to yank our kids from these indoctrination centers. It’s lame that taxes are going to go so high that few will have the option of homeschooling, and I think that’s exactly what the leftists are aiming for.
NTWR on September 28, 2009 at 7:47 PM
Forget all that, Cindy.
Those songs are a relic of the days when, even if his politics weren’t in agreement with yours, you could depend on the President loving his country.
MrScribbler on September 28, 2009 at 7:48 PM
Look on the bright side.
Getting enough of these vids front and center could make for very lively School Board elections in the coming years.
The average voter hasn’t the faintest idea of the ‘leanings’ and background of the people who lord over their children.
The next ‘tea party’ movement perhaps?

It wouldn’t be so bad if the lyrics in the mmmmmm video referred to President Obama. But they don’t. They don’t reference him as president, as they should. They reference him by his full name, leaving out his government job title, just as if Barack was their personal friend, mentor, or spiritual guide.
Barack Hussein Obaama
mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm
That is what makes these videos disturbing. If they were simply praising a president, they would address him in the lyrics as President Obama. But they don’t. So they are not praising a president.
They are praising the man himself. (what’s worse, they are praising the man not for anything he has yet done, but simply for who he is.)
Therein lies the legitimate concern about the unprecedented nature of these childrens songs produced by American school teachers.

Vindication for those of us who were attacked as hyper-sensitive when the filthy liar announced that he’d be speaking to the “schookids” It was always about the package the Dept. of Education wanted to go along with the propaganda- including those letters to Obama. Seems like the hyper-sensitive were right.

You bring us Hope and Change and Unemployment Too
Hey Mr. President we’re really screwed
Stagnation, inflation, taxation and confiscation too.
Hey Mr. President we’re wise to your plans
To take this country into Socialism Land
Horray Mr. President you’ve done what none can do
Destroy the Constitution and the Red, White and Blue
Hey Mr. President we know your dirty tricks.
You think you’re slick but we know you’re just a Prick
Your polls are tanked and your agenda’s a wreck
It’s a dog pile with Old Limbaugh and the Beck
So Mr. President Your single Term is Through
You plan to spend it all and leave an IOU
Hello Mr. President How do you Do
Who would’ve known you’re just Carter Part Deux

Those ‘rents are afraid. Most have liberal friends and family members, and they don’t want to appear offensive. Many, too, have come to believe the idea that to oppose Obama is racist, and that’s more a dirty word among libs and ‘moderates’ than the term ‘child rapist’.
Moderates and most so-called independents tend to lean Left. They go with the flow, for it’s easier than having true conviction. So, what those parents will do is let their always-changeable values be assaulted and hope the problem clears itself up so they don’t have the problem at all.

This is no fault of the kids.
All finger pointing to the lazy parents who permit it to happen in their local school boards and the mentaly challenged educational system in this country.
bluegrass on September 28, 2009 at 8:14 PM
An addendum to my previous post:
School systems have their ‘rules’ which, if you read them, are vague and open to interpretation at the discretion of the school. I twice had incidents with the high school in Dingmans Ferry, PA. I forced a temporary stalemate, using their rulebook against them as they used it against me. Eventually I won both fights but most parents don’t have the time to deal with all that finagling of rules. That’s how government wins, by browbeating parents to submit like collared BDSM slaves.
Believe it or not, teachers are sent to seminars to learn how to defeat parental concerns. This story came out around 1998 but there was no follow-up. It’s a rigged game, but parents have an out. Moderates and Independents won’t use them. They rather go with the flow.
Too bad they don’t grasp that they’ll drown in that current.
Liam on September 28, 2009 at 8:17 PM
Well if you have kids in school you better be paying attention to what is going on, and try to educate others what is going on as well. And don’t just bitch about it in a passive manner, organize and mount challenges to school boards.
LevStrauss on September 28, 2009 at 8:17 PM

I’m always amazed at how many fat kids there are these days. I mean compared to the Dark Ages when I was a kid. There was maybe one or two fat kids in the entire school back then, and now? I guess that when you give up gym class for political indoctrination, somebody has to lose.

Liam on September 28, 2009 at 8:19 PM
A lot of parents are lazy. They’re f*cked by a system that ignores them when it wants. Where I was in PA, only armed force would have stopped the local school board. And the PA State Troopers would have gunned us all down.
Liam on September 28, 2009 at 8:22 PM
If they only knew that he wanted to end the summer vacation and that he sponsors the killing of unborn babies they would sing a different song. Thats the inncoent side of them which they instinctively know.
bluegrass on September 28, 2009 at 8:26 PM
I’m in favor of year-round school with shorter “breaks” built in over the Summer. Think about it. The reason why school went into recess over the summer was the heat and the fact the kids were needed in the fields. Now we have A/C and few kids work in the fields. It also disrupts the “routine” for those parents who have to find daycare options with their kids out of school and it is a long break in what should be a continuing cycle of learning.
highhopes on September 28, 2009 at 8:27 PM
Modern parents would orgasm for the end of summer vacations for their kids. That would further relieve them of wondering, while at work, if the kids burned down the house
Liam on September 28, 2009 at 8:27 PM
There are a gazillion ways to defeat what’s going on in the schools. Believe it or not, it’s easy–add a little popcorn, get your spouse on your side, and spend an hour every couple of days for family time.
I did this with my children, on my own b/c my ex didn’t want to be involved, but I got things done. It’s easy; children will trust their parents first.
Liam on September 28, 2009 at 8:35 PM
I’m SO glad to be almost done with schooling my kids! At first we were so trusting thinking that the local highly rated public school was the place for our precious “skulls full of mush.” When my 3rd grade daughter started crying herself to sleep over the books the school librarian was reading to them during story time I investigated. The librarian couldn’t understand why stories about bloody footprints in the snow and children “disappearing down a well”, etc. were disconcerting to an 8 y. o. The next school had the novel “The Giver” at the 5th grade level-following “Little House on the Prairie.” For those unfamiliar, “The Giver” relates the story of a family living in a utopian society. The graphic depiction of infanticide-hypodermic needle to the base of the skull- was NOT read by MY child, but many other 11 year olds had their innocence destroyed by that story. Christian school, homeschool and Catholic school were the choices for the rest of our kids. It is a strange new world out there in education. Parents BEWARE!

Had to explain to my 16 year old how high rise buildings are constructed to “change” his mind about the US being involved in blowing up the WTC on 911. I then had a meeting with his history teacher and read that idiot the riot act. Told the idiot the classroom wasn’t meant for a debate on conpiracy theories. Made a call to the student ombudsman and complained about filling his head with garbage. I got a nice apology from the idiots and a “we won’t do that anymore”.

I am so glad that both of mine are out of the system. I have a daughter at San Diego State who is a freshman and taking political science. One of the books on the list she can choose from(these are political commentary books) is Laura Inghram’s Power to the People. She called to tell me that is the one she is reading.
One thing about it, they have heard me for years talk politics and real life and they seem to both be at least suspicious, if not immune to liberalism.

My husband and I were told by the principal and teacher of the class that we couldn’t “protect” our daughter forever. When we asked about the inevitable questions from the kids if the infanticide was “okay” we were told the teacher would lead the discussion on abortion. Sure, I would trust her judgement on that just like I would trust her judgement on choosing that book to read! NOT!
You would not believe the arrogance of the teachers these days. There must be some wonderful ones somewhere but all we ran into in public and private schools have been liberal scolds wanting to review our kid’s diets (I kid you not) and condescending idiots wanting to lecture we parents on our “unenlightenment.” My husband and I are not slouches in the education department and we were put off to say the least. Ah me, enough hot air for now…I’m almost done as my baby graduates this year.

Word games the school systems use, all what you wrote. I’ve been there and used the Dingmans Ferry rulebook against them. You’d flip to know how insane they went, especially when I beat them the second time by threatening a State and Federal DoE investigation against them.
You can’t protect your children, you were told? That means to me that the school system was implicating it’s a threat to your values. Libs always reveal themselves in one form or other.
I totally believe the arrogance of teachers and school administrators you experienced, having been through it myself several times in two different States.
I suggest, for this worked for me, keeping close as a family and having discussions during light times, like popcorn and games, and other things your family does together. Indoctrination can be defeated because children will trust their parents first.
You have a good mind. You can beat the snot out of the schools.

This is not a cute, harmless, or quaint children’s program meant to help young ones learn about the leader of their nation in a creative way. Rather, it is a well-contrived and calculated attempt by liberal exremist educators to make their innocent charges idolize and believe in a person who is responsible for bringing about a degree of polarization seldom seen before in the history of the United States of America. Truly frightening.
