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

My call went to voicemail and beeped off in my midsentence. I don’t think they really want to hear from critics.

I don’t know if they forgot or not they may have never known. I think this is the change and they agree with it.

The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.

But...the activity wasn't unauthorized. Just the recording and distribution thereof.

Wunnerful.

Public Servant. That makes Obama our SERVANT. How ironic.

I thought we weren’t supposed to use the name Hussein.

Zero worship ping!

You have to listen to the remix of this song..with lyrics like

lay down was massah nappy
and bare his children nappy
and pickin cotton nappy

underground nappy

This is inappropriate for children..and THIS is the woman who posted the video of those kids.

The web site for the school states the video was filmed on JUNE 9. . .NOT during Black History Month????

I thought the same but the kids are wearing long-sleeved shirts.

In Obama's case, though, it's more like Children of the (A)hole.

[RummyChick]

it doesn’t say June 9 on the schools website. Please post the quote because I see it nowhere.

The person who reuploaded the video said around June. I don’t know what Charisse put in her version.

So I guess all these kids had a unit on the life of Clarence Thomas last year?

So can we have Christian history month and have the children sing Jesus Loves Me?

[HereInTheHeartland]

These people need to learn that acting and thinking like North Koreans is not a virtue
