Oh, and it gets better. It happened at a public elementary school in New Jersey. Isn't that against separation of church and state?
Exurban League has the story. And the creepy song. Sheesh.
An important update about the creepy video we posted yesterday. The Burlington Township School District, to which B. Bernice Youngs Elementary School belongs, posted the following Letter to Parents this morning.Dear Burlington Township Families:
Today we became aware of a video that was placed on the internet which has been reported in the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country. The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dr. King, Principal of B. Bernice Young School, directly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher M. Manno,
Superintendent of Schools
So, a public school had an official lesson using impressionable children to praise Barack Obama. The song they used even co-opted lyrics from "Jesus Loves the Little Children" with Obama's name inserted in place of God.
This story is only getting started.
Aren't they all?
So the Superintendent's biggest issue is not with the creepy song but with the fact it was taped and people found out about it?
Here's the video. I'd suggest not eating beforehand. Hopefully these parents will throw a fit. Presidents are servants, not dictators.
Read the full lyrics. But here is a highlight:
Barack Hussein Obama
He said Red, Yellow, Black or White
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
That video gives me chills. Or, maybe better said, it makes my skin crawl.
Just a quick reminder about the government in which we live:
THE PEOPLE are the boss. They hire and fire. They are the ones in authority. They may not dress in suits and ties, speak into microphones, and live in a constant state of pomp and circumstance. But still, they are the boss.
Politicians work for them. Like employees. They are elected for a short period to perform whatever duties are necessary and established by the Constitution. Then they are gone.
Our entire framework of our entire history hinges on the foundation of a government run by the people, not figureheads. If you want that, go to North Korea.

HMMM... reminds me of another song I know...
"Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world.
Red and yellow, black and white,
All are precious in His sight,
Jesus loves the little children of the world."
So basically they just changed a few words and replaced Jesus with Obama... hmmm... yeah, not a good idea.
