It is disturbing that anyone would think it should be shown.
But, hey... there are a lot of loony-tune liberals out there, mostly in media, education and labor unions.

How dare they show this propaganda to any child or teenager!
This video makes me want to vomit.
My favorite part is “I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama.”
EXCUSE ME? You work for us, Mr. President, not the other way around.
Guess the lessons on kneeling and touching the forelock come next.
That's the problem — everything is backwards. The press is suppose to be watchdogs not lapdogs, you don't spend billions during a recession, substance — a record of accomplishments — should beat style, charisma and lofty speeches rather than the opposite, etc.
All this is just in time for the new school year!
Disgusting.
Parents, get your children out of the government schools.
The scumbags have taken over.
I pledge to support the zot of your choice,
and the FReepublic for which it stands.
Bookmark.
Seriously, all partisanship aside...that thing struck me as positively Orwellian. All it needed was an exhortation to increase production of potatoes at Collective Farm #37. (Busy hands and full bellies, comrade!)
Yeesh.
Not to Obama or any president.
Good acts and caring for others and the land is something they should be taught at home, in church, or by family. Morals are learned at home and at church and by example.
Morals cannot be dictated.
I pledge not to let Obama dictate how I feel or what I want to do for others or how my children or grandchildren feel. I pledge to teach them myself.
Yes; and an escapable fact; we know; for Obama,Inc.
You work for us, Mr.President; You work for us, Mr. President; You work for us, Mr. President. . .
Do we need to make this a 'mantra' or what? The absolute continuum of conceit being played out by this power-mongering 'President-who-would-be-king' should have EVERY citizent by now; wide/wide awake! Eyes wide shut made a thing of the past.
Lines need to be drawn; Obama cannot continue to effortlessly violate our Constitution and our citizenry! Am sure; his address to 'nations school children' on Sept. 8; another 'unprecedented occasion' inflicted upon us; will not be a one-time event.
Would bet; in time; after we are told that Obama's 'educational reach out' has had a such a positive impact on our youth. . .we will find that he has inserted himself into America's 'classroom' on a regular basis.
STOP; keep your children home next week; and let schools know; you do not intend to be exposed to this propagandizing Obama effort. And yes; tell these schools; School Boards. . .P.T.O.'s; that this propagandizing video needs to be returned to the White House; stamped 'Not Deliverable'.
According to Drudge Obama will be addressing all the school students on Sept 8.
I tried to pull up the speech on line but Firefox wouldn’t display it properly.
Animal Farm: Boxer’s maxims “I will work harder” & “Napoleon (Obama?) is always right”
HOLY
For later zombification
Folks, this is a watershed change. I am stunned after seeing this.
And they are showing this to kids, little kids? And OUR tax dollars PAID for this?
Even if it was privately produced and distributed, there is NO way this thing should be shown to school kids!
This is appalling.
How can we get this more exposure on FR?
How do things get over to the sidebar? Hits?
That’s one bizarre video.
I will never and I mean NEVER vote for another school levie again as long as I live.
Those arrogant women look freakishly fake. The faces of change, courtesy of plastic surgery. Just more of self-deluded Hollyweird and its manufactured reality.
I pledge to work in my own best self-interest with respect for others doing the same. I pledge to make sure I don't impose my needs on others as an obligation for other free men to support me. I pledge to make my own way, lawfully and responsibly and never to bow to a leader, kneel to a prince or submit to a yoke.
I further pledge to practice, practice, practice so as to achieve tighter groups at 50, 100 and 250 yards.
Ping for later distribution.
“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”
That’s the only pledge that I took when in grade school.
nauseating ‘i pledge’ vid shown in schools...
Stay vigilant, folks.
Is this what Obama is presenting on September 8 nation-wide?
VERY disturbing is what I think!
Subtext: if these neighbors are not on board with THIS program; they will be in big trouble.
We know this White House; made recently; a 'neighborly outreach'; think this is the same innocently couched MO. And just as frightening and 'foreboding'. They are getting to the 'heart of the matter'; embedding their agenda in Pop Culture milieu; where it will find hearts/minds and eventually 'legs'.
'said with a downward hand thrust' - and offered not by some sweet young thing; but a even-footed; solid-body male. (Just think the choice of the messenger here;carries it own message as well).
I do solemnly swear (pledge) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic
I do solemnly swear (pledge) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic
It bears repeating.
that is not true everywhere
our oldest son has been in two fights in one week at his new school with misguided wannabes whose rich parents let them watch the wrong TV channels (thug)
we had a nice sitdown with his principal yesterday
we spoke candidly, she is EXACTLY like us...could even be a freeper
Christian, Conservative, Patriot, Hunting family, Attractive and doing what she can.
it made my wife cry..she was so happy
They do Pledge of Allegiance, Boy scouts on campus, Christmas Music party, hunting pics on walls and so forth...sure it’s not like when I was a boy but it’s better than where we left from where the parents were all overeducated genX and y leftist ignorants
if the women preen over their sinuous triceps then you know there is a problem in that school
I, Eaker, do solemnly swear, or affirm, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, so help me God.
yes; the image created by the little Marxist Shepard Fairie; and one; 'fashioned' after the iconic image of Marxist revolutionary; Che Guevara. Obama image used here; rather than identifying an authentic Obama; instead links to the 'Obama iconic' as well.
While some of these people (many actually - and by necessity for success of this video - are pop culture 'icons' themselves) and they no doubt believe; they are actually being patriotic here. NO question; as well; that ALL sharing 'the pledge' in this video, are no more than useful idiots
Speaking of 'patriotic'; did I miss somehow; an America Flag? Even one on a tee shirt?(Could not miss the one with the Obama logo on it. . .)
Ping for later viewing
“She acknowledges she was wrong and apologizes for it and says she’s sorry,” Williams said.”
sorry she got caught is all.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

No 62.29 %
Unfortunately, this poll is in a conservative area of the country. Results elsewhere might not be as reassuring.
