BURLINGTON TOWNSHIP -- New Jersey's education commissioner ordered a review after a YouTube video shows school children learning a song celebrating President Barack Obama.

The video shows more than a dozen youngsters at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township. The district said the students were participating in Black History Month in February.

Education Department spokeswoman Kathryn Forsyth said the commissioner has directed the school superintendent to review what happened. Forsyth said the commissioner wants to ensure that students can celebrate Black History Month without "inappropriate partisan politics in the classroom."

Forsyth also said the teacher who directed the song and is not shown in the video retired at the end of the school year.

But we spend something like twice+ the money per student there and get something like 70% of the results - plus, BONUS, they’re indoctrinated as Democrats and Socialists... What a deal for the hard working conservative taxpayer that puts their kid through a modest Christian or other type of private school, huh?

The big lie is that Atheism is "not a religion" so therefore teaching liberal "secular humanist" morality "isn't violating" the separation of Church and State. Except they are telling the children of those who follow the religions of the world that homosexuality really ISN'T a sin. Neither is pre-marital sex. Neither is abortion.

They are taught that if God DOES exist (His name can never be mentioned) that the Big Bang was mere coincidence and God played no role (or god(s) sprang forth from the same event).

Freedom of Religion is NOT Freedom FROM Religion. Making the antitheist faith (and there are a number of best sellers by Atheist Supremacists these days) the defacto state religion is also against the Constitution.

I noticed the clothing too. If it was in the west coast, I wouldn’t give it a thought. But east coast, yeah...it’s still pretty chilly in Feb.
Maybe they keep the school very warm?

The school administrator’s biggest concern is the taping of what goes on in the classroom.

Parents are to be kept uninformed at all costs.

Precisely! The old serpent was a liar from the beginning. When he lies, he speaks his native tongue.

It is a de facto religion/worldview, complete with its own creeds:

"The brownshirts cannot take us over as long as there is YouTube and the rest of the free blogosphere."

YouTube is hardly an honest player. I noticed yesterday that the view counter on the video had not budged on the video in question. It was stuck around 360, and yet there were thousands of comments. How is that possible? It's not, unless YouTube "froze" the counter.

Why freeze the counter? Because presumably it won't show up as a popular video on YouTube's front page section called "What's playing now", I would guess.

Now the question that should be answered is just how to Charisse Carney Nunes get the tape. Her book was pictured in the video. Also, if they are going to claim that other presidents were honored as they have claimed...I want to know the lyrics for those songs as well. Who wrote the lyrics to the songs that kids sung ________________________ She went to Harvard with Obama and knew him then. Her face book page and friends are pretty interesting. Photobucket

been doing a little digging on a people search site.

It is possible that the teacher, Elvira James, is either the daughter, daughter in law, or some other kind of relative of the Civil Rights activist, President of the NAACP Rev. Willie James.

He was a veteran who sued over housing and won causing a town to be integrated. There was a tribute to him in the Senate record in 2000.

This would be right up the alley of Charisse Carney Nunes..

and why it would be Elvira James class that would do this performance with the book being displayed.

WHOA! Charisse seems to be quite taken with Obama.

I wonder if he bumped into her on any campaign visits or afterward while visiting New Jersey?

Hmmm ... it wouldn't be the first time a politician has abused his power while in the White House ...



We better archive her Facebook and other websites — PRONTO!

BELL IS SAID TO FILE CASE OVER HIRING AT HARVARD
Boston Globe - Tuesday, March 3, 1992
Author: Jack Sullivan, CONTRIBUTING REPORTER

Derrick Bell, a professor at Harvard Law School, has filed a complaint with the US Education Department’s Office of Civil Rights asking for an investigation into the school’s hiring practices and the dearth of tenured minority professors at the school, according to a source familiar with the proceedings. Bell has been on leave for two years as a protest against the absence of tenured black women on the school’s faculty. Bell, who is currently teaching at New York University’s School of Law, sa id at the time he took his sabbatical from Harvard he would not teach there again until there was a tenured position offered to a black woman. Bell could not be reached last night for comment.

In an unusual but related move, Harvard’s president, Neil Rudenstine, has agreed to an emergency meeting with representatives of the Black Law Students Association tomorrow morning in an effort to stem the rising anger over the lack of tenured minority professors. The meeting is scheduled to take place prior to an announcement by Bell about his actions.

The school administration is also under fire since students learned four white men were recommended for tenured positions on Friday. Three of the men are visiting professors. The recommendation on behalf of the visiting faculty members has inflamed student anger because two black women and a Hispanic man were denied consideration last year due to a a required one-year waiting period after a faculty member has been a visiting professor. The three visiting professors recommended for tenure have not gone through the waiting period, according to Charisse Carney , president of the law school’s Coalition for Civil Rights. [CORRECTION-DATE: Thursday, March 5, 1992: CORRECTION: Because of an editing error, an article in Tuesday’s Metro/Region section incorrectly identified a Harvard student. Charisse Carney is president of the Black Law Students Association.]

The Conventional Wisdom Defied
Washington Post, The (DC) - Friday, January 4, 2008
Author: Paul Kane and Jonathan Weisman, Washington Post Staff Writers

EXCERPT

For the cadre of young, talented African Americans who have stayed close to Obama since Harvard Law School, the senator’s success is not all that surprising. They say they always believed he would be propelled to great heights. But even as they watched him become the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, even as they raised money for his political runs in Illinois, they did not imagine him on a presidential stage.

Charisse Carney -Nunes, a Washington area writer and former co-president of Harvard’s Black Law Students Association, remembered Obama addressing the group in 1990, speaking without notes but capturing the same sense of hope that won over Iowa. “You just knew . . . he was someone that was so very special,” she said.
