An important update about the creepy video we posted yesterday. The Burlington Township School District, to which B. Bernice Youngs Elementary School belongs, posted the following Letter to Parents this morning.
Dear Burlington Township Families:
Today we became aware of a video that was placed on the internet which has been reported in the media. The video is of a class of students singing a song about President Obama. The activity took place during Black History Month in 2009, which is recognized each February to honor the contributions of African Americans to our country. Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country. The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dr. King, Principal of B. Bernice Young School, directly.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher M. Manno,
Superintendent of Schools

The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized. But not the shameless adulation of our Fearless Leader on a scale that would have delighted Nicolae Ceausescu.
That, at least, was perfectly kol b'seder.

So the activity was both sanctioned and authorized, but the leaking of the incriminating evidence was unauthorized. Nice.

Er, he doesn’t see anything wrong with forcing children to sing hymns of praise to Dear Leader. He’s just annoyed that it got “leaked.”
Talk about a non-apology.

Didn’t this also happen in Germany? The Hitler Youth also sang to Hitler. Is this what we are teaching our own children?

And part of Black History Month back in February....
February is a great month to take your kids out of school for a long winter break skiing or sailing in the Caribbean.

Strange. Obama never served our country. This Praise Fest took place a few weeks after Obama took office. What a crock.
To: kristinn
There is no excuse for what they did. Could you imagine the outrage if school kids were made to sing to G. W. Bush? Heck, I would join the outrage!
Another reason to homeschool.

I just saw this video. They are literally praying to him. “In his sight all are equal”????? As if he were a deity?
And besides, it’s not even true.
