In case you were wondering which school taught kids that “Barack Hussein Obama mmm mmm mmm” rap that I posted yesterday afternoon (http://michellemalkin.com/2009/09/23/dear-leader-in-the-classroom/), here are some new details.
The video was originally posted in June 2009 here by YouTube user “brandnuwords.” Update: She has now removed the video sometime this morning. Here is the screenshot:
“Brandnuwords” is the YouTube account of Charisse Carney-Nunes. More on her in a moment.
YouTube user “alteredbeat” re-posted the video on September 6 here.
Alteredbeat e-mailed Carney-Nunes to inquire about the location of the school. She told him it was a school in South Jersey.
This screenshot from the video…
…matches up with this picture of the auditorium at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township, NJ:
I have e-mailed the principal of the school with the following questions:
Did Ms. Carney-Nunes have permission to videotape the performance?
Were parents notified that their children would be participating in this activity prior to the lesson? Was Ms. Carney-Nunes invited to the school to teach the children the song and about her book, “I am Barack Obama?”
Was the principal aware of this event and taping?
Back to Charisse Carney-Nunes. Via ModernConservative, Carney-Nunes is senior vice president of The Jamestown Project, “the award-winning author of the children’s books, I Am Barack Obama (2009),” and according to her biography, “a graduate of Harvard Law School, where she was a schoolmate of President Obama.” I have e-mailed Carney-Nunes for comment as well.
The Obama school song video that she taped shows her book featured on an easel next to the children hailing Dear Leader. She promotes her book as a tool that “allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama growing up as an ordinary child asking, Who will change the world? Ultimately, he realizes that he will.”
She has spread this creepy cult message to schoolchildren across the country. Coming to a classroom near you?

We already know what the response will be to critics of this elementary school agitprop: Raaaaaacist!
***
Mark Tapscott at the Examiner has a related warning on the driving force behind the progressive movement. Guess he’s just another “kook,” too.
***
Jon at Exurban League has a response from the school district confirming the rap session as an official school activity.
The poorly written statement is posted on the school district’s site.

Is her nickname “Frontloader”?
Download and save the video clip because you can be sure that it will be taken down and the 0bamunist hordes will be sneering ‘video? what video?’ soon enough.
This is no different than the state-mandated adulation of Hitler in the 1930’s and the teacher(s) responsible should be fired on the spot.
Now there’s a ‘diverse’ book cover...
The school’s name is now #7 on Google Trends ATM.
Based on that image, I would speculate that she got too much junk in her trunnk.
State Media refuses to investigate their boy and his radical marxist socialist friends.!
SERVICE UNAVAILABLE

Can anyone identify the pictures on the screen behind the kids?
One looks like Lenin and the other is a woman.
re: Now there’s a ‘diverse’ book cover...
Yes, apparently “diversity” means excluding white children! Of course, they aren’t to be excluded when it comes time to force them to sing songs of praise & propaganda about Dear Leader.
The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized. -- Dr. Christopher M. Manno, Superintendent of Schools
Methinks Superintendent Manno is having a bad day, and that is is only going to get worse!
I thought it was a new twist on the ‘Where’s Waldo?’ phenomenon...
The Obamanistas are busy rushing around to dump all this down the memory hole, but FReepers are one step ahead of them and saving the evidence, I’m sure!
Or maybe too much, depending on your POV.
The best thing about this story?
An LSU Sports political board member found the video! He sent it to Drudge and the rest is history.

The time draws nigh.
Yeah, that’s the ticket!
She is not a progressive, she is an opportunist. Using children, however, is despicable. Shame on her!
BUMP
Geez. Carney-Nunes and Obama. An affirmative action two-fer.
As the government of the Roman Empire became more autocratic and rulers came to enjoy almost unlimited power, there came about in Rome an “Imperial Cult,” in which emperors were worshipped as gods and accepted divine honors. This belief in the emperor’s divine authority eventually led to the requirement of a sacrifice to the emperor as a sign of loyalty.
Sometimes you see a news story and then rush over to FR as fast as you can. This is one....
Red & Yellow, Black or White. That sounds so vaguely familiar.........

The class activity was fine, just the recording and distribution was unauthorized.
Song 1:
Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama
who’s giving her the uppercut to the chin?
Yeah, that’s what I got from it. It’s OK to do this, indoctrinate kids, teach them to worship BO, just don’t leave any incriminating videos around where non-BO cult members can see them. Some people associated with BO are not ready for prime time.
Song 2:
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say “hooray!”
Hooray, Mr. President! You’re number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!
Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country’s economy number one again!
Hooray Mr. President, we’re really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!
So continue —— Mr. President we know you’ll do the trick
So here’s a hearty hip-hooray ——
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
You think that’s familiar? So is “equal work means equal pay”
I doth projectile hurl.
bookmark & BTTT !!
That is some scary stuff

We need to propose some guidelines. For example, if you are doing anything nonacademic and ideology-related with children just substitute the name of a religion or religious figure to see if you think it would be “ok”. If you can substitute “Jesus” for “Obama” and it still sounds okay for public school children, then it is probably okay. Teachers: use the same standard for EVERYTHING that is an ideology or belief system or you will find yourselves in “iffy” territory and we will nail you on it as surely as the anti religious zealots will. Everybody has access to telephones, lawyers, pens, stamps. Oh, and I think protests as well.
The superintendent’s number is 609.387.3955.
For a second I thought the Crash Test Dummies re-recorded that song.
The main problem with this song is the repeated, rhythmic and trance-inducing mantra like repeating of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA. Please teach your children about the various ways minds can be manipulated. Warn them about chants, repetition and the many other techniques. Our only readily available defense is teaching them what manipulation looks like. Point it out when you watch advertisements with them and compare it to what teachers might do. Teach them about logical fallacies and “everybody’s doing it” or “authorities say so”. Encourage them to teach their friends about these things too. TRIAGE.
Black History Month is Acornish.
I can only view the lyrics and I keep imagining the fat little Campbell Soup kids singing "Mmm mmm good"
Barrack Obama; you can take a flying leap,
Barrack Obama; my taxes I will pay a heap,
Barrack Obama; Cash for Clunkers was a big success,
Barrack Obama; for foreign carmakers, and junkyards you did mess,
Barrack Obama; healthcare you want to make over,
Barrack Obama; I’d rather go to health care used by Rover,
Barrack Obama; some day I would like to retire,
Barrack Obama; thanks to you, at 85 I’ll still be in the line to hire,
Barrack Obama; you state you were born in Honolulu,
Barrack Obama; yeah right, and Bea Arthur was always hot wearing a Mumu,
Barrack Obama; you promised harmony and zen,
Barrack Obama; get ready for a conservative sweep in 2010.
From “1984”:
A spontaneous ritual of devotion to Big Brother (”BB”) is illustrated at the end of the “Two Minutes Hate”:
“At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmic chant of ‘B-B! .... B-B! .... B-B!’—over and over again, very slowly, with a long pause between the first ‘B’ and the second—a heavy murmurous sound, somehow curiously savage, in the background of which one seemed to hear the stamps of naked feet and the throbbing of tom-toms. For perhaps as much as thirty seconds they kept it up. It was a refrain that was often heard in moments of overwhelming emotion. Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.”
Coming to a school near you........................
For the Record, a Freeper (me) figured out the author of the video yesterday evening. I posted the link to Charisse Carney-Nunes at Hot Air last night at 7:29 pm
I also posted on FR today at 11:47 am. Post # 9
