School Defends “Occupy” Song For 8-year-olds
By Todd Starnes/TWITTER
A Virginia school district is defending a song allegedly written and performed by a group of third graders about the Occupy Wall Street movement that conservative bloggers are calling a form of indoctrination.
The song, “Part of the 99,” was performed by children at Woodbrook Elementary School in Albemarle County, Virginia.
A spokesman for the school system said as far as they were concerned there isn’t a controversy and called criticism of the program unfortunate.
“We really don’t censor the topics that students come up with,” school spokesman Phil Giaramita told Fox News & Commentary. “This is the first time we’ve had the lyrics of one of these songs criticized.”
The controversy surrounding the song was first reported by the Weasel Zippers website.
“They’re actually claiming third-grade children wrote these lyrics and chose the topic as well,” Weasel Zippers wrote. “Because what eight-year-old child isn’t obsessed with class warfare?”

“Original lyrics, before helpful editing by a unionized teacher:
Ur a poopy poopy
Spongebob and Patrick
I am ice cream flavor
Chocolate or Vanilla
You smeel! Bobby’s dumb.
I want a bicicle
My sistr is a smelly
I like fun.”
Deserves repeating and a bow to you ( think of 0dumbo kowtowing to you :)
Not that we thought it up, but this was known by most of my third grade class.

What crap!

Sure . . . how about having them sing “Dixie” ?
“mmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm, mmmmmmmmm...Barack Hussien Obama...”
I guess history is worth repeating...
For some...
I prefer not to...But what do I know...
It is almot surreal the way (direction) this country is going...And some don’t even know, much less understand what is at stake...
Here is another. Uniforms look familiar

But we still have Hugo, Fidel and the memory of Che.
We're taught to be good little Marxist's
It's all the teachers do
And we'll work hard for Obama and OWS, too.
Ah the good old daze before all the socialist BS.

I gather you don't think putting Romney in the White House will do the trick?
Nah. Too many syllables.
Hope and Change was so 2008. We are the 99% is the new slogan for 2012. Death to the rich is sure to follow.
Reminds me of “Deck the halls with gasoline.”
“We really don’t censor the topics that students come up with”
Ok, let’s see if you will let them put on a play centered around the Crucifixion and Resurrection .
The country cannot survive if we allow leftists to indoctrinate our kids starting from grade school. Every year more useful idiots trained by the Dept of Education reach voting age while the number people with traditional American values decreases. It is no wonder that about half the electorate supports leftists like Gore, Kerry and Obama whereas in the 80’s, they wouldn’t have gotten 20% of the vote. The education system needs to be purged as soon as possible.
The talent and dedication (which includes the endless hours devoted to practice) is why Asia is kicking our collective ass!
But we’ve got a PC Black President . . . Oh Great!
it really did sound better before the remake...
