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.

Ah to play like the leftists: find out who she is. Is she working now? Where? Research her background, demonstrate in front of her house, follow her family around, etc. etc. semi sarc/
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:
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.
Or JC Watts, Ken Blackwell, or one of my personal favorites, Herman Cain?
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.

She went to Harvard with Obama and knew him then. Her face book page and friends are pretty interesting.
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.
I did that the other night. I made screen shots immediately of her face book and all of her friends. We have all learned how fast these disappear. I screen shot everything. If it disappears I know it’s one I need to pay extra attention to.
Incorrect. The tune is from the Battle Hymn of the Republic, a part of our civic religion, not Christianity. The lyrics were by Julia Ward Howe, but the melody is from an older abolitionist anthem titled "John Brown's Body".

I am Barack Obama: Part I “Unity” Interview Charisse Carney-Nunes
Author of award-winning children’s book, I Am Barack Obama, is interviewed by Cassandra Hill on the television show, Unity, with a viewership of 250,000
We can sure make it hard of them...
It seemed to me that the black teacher, the Burl. Board of Ed., were willing to be arrogant, have enough chutzpah to tell the parents, ‘it is our time, we are getting back at The Man by taking kids and showing them that our guy is worthy of praise whether you want it or not.’ ACORN and SEIU have the same arrogance with their minority workers. One might have some sympathy if the arrogance did not border on tyranny.
“The thing that makes me wonder about when the video was shot,”
In the last couple days someone — Rush, I think — said the video was shot in June. So... who knows?
I can’t get this song out of my head. It’s inspired me to write more verses. I’m sure these will be very popular with Obama supporters and music lovers everywhere.
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
A lawyer for Acorn was he
They give advice to pimps you see
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
To Reverend Wright’s church he’d go
God damn America was his motto
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
Rezko, Ayers, and Reverend Wright
“We really weren’t that close” Yeah, right!
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
Corruption followed where he’d go
Yet he’s as spotless as the snow
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He says we must give to the poor
And so he’ll tax us more and more
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He says he’ll only tax the rich
If you’re well off, then life’s a b****
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
He gives the media’s leg a thrill
Yet they say they’re unbiased still
Hmm, hmm, hmm
Barack Hussein Obama
Government health care is his cry
So old folks should shut up and die
To be fair, they should sing about past presidents, too. I’m sure no one on the left would object to these lyrics
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
George W Bush
He kept us safe, this much is true
Yet liberals hate him through and through
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm
George W Bush
Chose Roberts and Alito, too
Annoying the ACLU
I Loved it ! sorry it took me so long to get back here to respond, but that was good *G*
