School children in North Carolina chant about President Obama, declaring, "Change has come" and praising the president for "uniting blacks and whites" in a YouTube video that's garnering national attention. Within minutes of WND's inquiries, the video was set to private and several versions were removed completely. The above version is one of the last remaining copies.

What will hispanics and asians think?
Teacher’s Union = Obamah Foot-Soldiers
Glenn Beck and Fox News have been talking about this. SICKENING!
Change!
I thought someone else would pay
Now its going to hurt forever
But I ain’t taking the blame
Change!
mmmmm-mmmmm-mmmmm!
How about the Albinos?
Everyone forgets about the Albinos.
What about that other video with adults praying to Obama?
His parents did the uniting.
Poor Albino’s can only get jobs as Opus Dei hitmen. lol.
uniting blacks and whites.....like, what, against himself? Because the poll numbers would seem to bear that out more and more.
Rappin’ ‘bout Barack Hussein Obama sure beats learning multiplication tables....which many of these third graders will never master. (I say this as a retired math teacher of fourth and fifth graders.)
How about me? What about ME? I am German, French, Scottish, Dutch, Brit, Cherokee, Black, Irish, etc. What about ME? I have all kinds of ancestors, yet I look like an albino, I am so pasty white. What about the pasty whites?
Unite my democrat. He’s set race relations back 50 years.
GREAT POINT! They should be teaching these kids MATH, READING, WRITING, SCIENCE, ETC>!
AMEN TO THAT! You are RIGHT!
Excellent post, they had three of the Obama chants. I was wondering about the militant chant by the young boys, that was out many months ago. They have all three of them together on that post. Good work finding and posting it here. Thanks.
THANKS! We have to keep copies of these because they tend to vanish from internet.
I emailed the Buncombe Cty school board (I live in Asheville). This is the response I got. I haven’t had time to write her back.
Dear Mr. Pots,
Perhaps you would be interested in the rest of the story. Since you live in our area, you are welcome to come by and see the 26-minute program in its entirety—I guarantee that you will be left with a different impression than you were by a truncated clip which in itself was used for political gain. The program was not.
On February 19, 2009, the third grade at one of our schools presented a wonderful and educational evening program for parents that included readings, skits, poems and songs about famous Americans throughout history. The program was the outgrowth of the children’s study of leaders of all cultures and backgrounds as part of the North Carolina Course of Study (see description below).
As part of the program, biographical data, phrases, philosophies and character traits associated with each person were worked into the fabric of the presentation. The segment on President Obama concluded the evening, and incorporated verbage found elsewhere in the program that was unrelated to him (Hope, Education, One person can change the world, etc). The segment was less than 1-minute in length out of a 26-minute program which featured famous Americans of all colors and creeds, including George Washington, Amelia Earhart, Clara Barton and Martin Luther King Jr. As the first African-American to be elected President of the United States, it was entirely appropriate to feature President Obama in the program along with other famous American leaders.
It should be noted that parents viewing the program in February gave the students a standing ovation, and registered no concerns then or during the ensuing seven months since the program was presented. That is, UNTIL their children’s privacy was violated and safety placed in jeopardy with the posting of the 1-minute segment on YouTube, and subsequently shown on electronic media of all types around the country. They are very concerned, saddened and distressed over that aspect...not over the program itself.
Below is a verbatim description of relevant curriculum, available on line at the North Carolina Department of Instruction:
NC Standard Course of Study: Social Studies: Elementary School Citizenship: People Making a Difference
This study “is designed to expand the students’ concept of “leaders” in relationship to their communities. Students study people of diverse groups, their cultures, religions, traditions, and contributions to the community. Students compare aspects of familiar communities with those of other cultures and other times. They are introduced to problems that leaders and communities confront and how conflicts are resolved. They investigate the contributions that these individuals have made to society.Students make connections between deeds leaders perform and the character traits each hero possesses.”
We appreciate your concerns, and hope to have allayed them somewhat. Let me know if you would like to come by to view the whole program.

Maybe the parents are young enough that they too were brainwashed in public schools! When I was a child we learned that things like this were WRONG and dangerous. It was so soon after WWII that I started school, 1950s.
Mmmm mmm mmm - Barack Hussein Obama......so inspiring that I updated my tagline.
They don't count. And Asians are given a pass as white. /heavy sarc
If I were you, I'd take her up on the offer.
wrt your tagline, it IS inherent in the respective ideologies that liberals will “cheat” to achieve a desired end and that conservatives respect the process and rules regardless of the outcomes. It’s inherently imbedded in their respective assumptions that lead to their ideological differences.
And btw, what is this “mmmm” referencing? Wizard of Oz or something?
Mmmmm mmmmm goood!
Barack Hussein Obama is mmmmm mmmmmm {BARF!}
Privacy? THIS IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL!
Safety? Who would harm these children? What she means is that now the parents and, most of all, the teachers and administration must be accountable for what they are shoving down the throats of children who trust them to teach them the truth and how to function in the real world.
Oh yeah, I forgot. THIS IS A PUBLIC SCHOOL! :0/
The children’s chants to Obama with “mmm-mmm-mmm” in between each chant.
What a lame response. If Obama was a Republican they wouldn’t be doing this.
For example, if Sarah Palin wins in 2012, I guarantee schools won’t be using her to talk about female achievement.
ummgawa... ummgawa... he’s got that muslim power mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm!
LLS
Another “one off” example. This is in no way a national trend of indoctrination!
(Is a sarc tag really needed?)
“Uniting blacks and whites”
Teaching kids to refer to human beings as blacks and whites is DISGUSTING.
I can’t get the site to open.
More like puke puke puke
sw
The poor little kids need to get their facts straight!
I remember watching that. Good times. Nothing like F’n with kids heads as a social experiment.
What could possibly go wrong? :)
That is the plan... disgusting.
LLS
Asians aren’t considered a minority when they ace the standardized test.
We must be related. :P
The money our socialist central government throws at the nation's schools goes for the salaries paid to worthless positions like this one.
These people are utter jackasses and need to be shown the door. too many administrators and too many leftists in teaching positions.
Haha, I just did. I asked her when it would be convenient to come by and see it.
