More Indoctrination From the 'Occupy' Songwriters at Kid Pan Alley

Earlier this week, a Virginia-based organization came under fire for leading 3rd grade students at Woodbrook Elementary in Charlottesville to write a song titled “We Are Part of the 99.”

The song, with its reference to the 1 percent and 99 percent was obviously talking about the Occupy protests that occurred around the country.

Now another video has emerged which was produced by Kid Pan Alley, the same organization that “helped” the students write the Occupy song.

Posted a couple weeks prior to Barack Obama’s inauguration, the organization posted a video of a song written by 2nd graders in Fairfax County, Virginia.

I’m all about respecting the office of the president and educating our children about how our government works, but “he’ll save the day” and “ready for peace”? Given Obama’s penchant for war, is Kid Pan Alley now helping students write songs about drone strikes or the toppling of Middle East governments?

For an organization that supposedly doesn’t allow political or partisan songs to be created, it’s sure doing a lousy job of policing its staff.

Parents and taxpayers should be aware of this before welcoming this activist organization into taxpayer funded schools.

The UC Davis occupy is all gone. Was down to 5 or 6 tents, with one being the main office, all of them looking unoccupied at night, then it went down to 3 tents, all appearing unoccupied to me. Now, all gone. Just some stuff stacked up at the base of a tree -- 7 PM last night. I'd ride a bicycle on the sidewalk running between the tents they had set up, every 2 or 3 days, just out of curiosity. I never saw anyone there for the last couple of weeks at least, and never any indication there was anyone in the tents, but one or two may have been occupied later in the evening.

They left them alone, and it all sort of withered, I think. There was an occupy in a downtown City park that the cops let hang around for six weeks or more, but they rolled the last of 'em up, real gentle-like, a couple of weeks ago, or so. Once it got down to mainly homeless guys, they didn't have much problem. The cops know 'em all, and some of the cops like to throw their weight around with them, but they didn't, giving them warning, then letting that string out for a while. Good tactic. But not every Davis PD officer is a prick, some of them are pretty good guys. There are few though, that are young and all pig, looking for trouble they can escalate for their own safety. Idiots, some of them. Fairly typical small-town America these days.

If one really wants trouble, just 45 minutes down the road it begins to get a little tougher. Another half hour later one will be coming up on Richmond. Don't arrive there with an empty gas tank, looking wealthy but weak. It could happen in broad daylight. Night time is worse, of course.
