Meanwhile in Va. 3rd graders are singing this little ditty.

Some people have it all
But they still don’t think they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes — they’re the 1 percent

I used to be one of the 1 percent
I worked all the time
Never saw my family
Couldn’t make life rhyme
Then the bubble burst
It really, really hurt
I lost my money
Lost my pride
Lost my home
Now I’m part of the 99

Some people have it all
But they still don’t think they have enough
They want more money
A faster ride
They’re not content
Never satisfied
Yes — they’re the 1 percent

I used to be sad, now I’m satisfied
’Cause I really have enough
Though I lost my yacht and plane
Didn’t need that extra stuff
Could have been much worse
You don’t need to be first
’Cause I’ve got my friends
Here by my side
Don’t need it all
I’m so happy to be part of the 99

The teachers claim the students came up with it all by themselves.

So now they're teaching kids how to be content in being poor
instead of setting goals and achieving them?


Listen kid, you're a nothing, a nobody, a worthless piece of dog pucky,
and no matter what you do you will be poor. You don't have a chance in life
because someone else took that away from you. You'll know them by the cars
they drive and the houses they live in.

Now go ask your mother to teach you about welfare.

Best wishes,
Your Uni-Teacher, Miss. Kravitz

While this is not my school district... I’d still like to see these teachers fired. Immediately. Any upline supervisor or management staff enabling this should also get walked out the door.

This is leftist activism poorly disguised as ‘social studies’. I highly doubt 3rd graders (8 year olds) crafted the lyrics of this little ditty. I also highly doubt that a countra perspective on the Occutard dogma was offered or explored.

Willing to bet that there’s a socialist organization pumping lesson plans out to sympathetic occupuppets charged with educating children

Lastly, it anyone else particularly disturbed over the use of song for this excercise? Seems like kids this age are taught songs primarily at Church, or at school for holiday presentations... To use song for a political message seems to be a tool to infer a level of acceptance, legitimacy, or perhaps even being on par with a religious value.
