Schoolkids taught to praise Uncle Joe O.

Filmed on June, 2009 at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, NJ. I sent a note to the principal giving him a heads up -- I'll let y'all know if I get a response. Not that I expect one, the poor man will no doubt be swamped for the near future.

FoxNews is following the story

Breitbart has the school's response. They link to the school's website, but it's very slow to load:

Response to Unauthorized Video of Class Activity
September 24, 2009

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.

#6  The whole idea of a 'Black History Month' is basically racist IMHO. Where's Filipino month? Or Japanese Month or Indian month? Italian month?

It's also the month of President's Day. So, like, you had similar programs for President Bush during his tenure too? /sarc off

#3  So the Stalinist praising of Dear Leader was just fine and dandy. Only the videoing and releasing it was unauthorized. It seems the miseducational system in that state needs to be torn down and rebuilt from scratch and the educators go into journalism or prostitution where that behavior is accepted.
