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.
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.........

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.
