Scroll for updates…

In case you were wondering which school taught kids that “Barack Hussein Obama mmm mmm mmm” rap that I posted yesterday afternoon, here are some new details.
The video was originally posted in June 2009 here by YouTube user “brandnuwords.” Update: She has now removed the video sometime this morning. Here is the screenshot:
“Brandnuwords” is the YouTube account of Charisse Carney-Nunes. More on her in a moment.
YouTube user “alteredbeat” re-posted the video on September 6 here.
Alteredbeat e-mailed Carney-Nunes to inquire about the location of the school. She told him it was a school in South Jersey.
This screenshot from the video…
…matches up with this picture of the auditorium at B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington Township, NJ:
I have e-mailed the principal of the school with the following questions:
Did Ms. Carney-Nunes have permission to videotape the performance?
Were parents notified that their children would be participating in this activity prior to the lesson?
Was Ms. Carney-Nunes invited to the school to teach the children the song and about her book, “I am Barack Obama?”
Was the principal aware of this event and taping?
Back to Charisse Carney-Nunes. Via ModernConservative, Carney-Nunes is senior vice president of The Jamestown Project, “the award-winning author of the children’s books, I Am Barack Obama (2009),” and according to her biography, “a graduate of Harvard Law School, where she was a schoolmate of President Obama.” I have e-mailed Carney-Nunes for comment as well.
The Obama school song video that she taped shows her book featured on an easel next to the children hailing Dear Leader. She promotes her book as a tool that “allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama growing up as an ordinary child asking, Who will change the world? Ultimately, he realizes that he will.”
She has spread this creepy cult message to schoolchildren across the country.
Coming to a classroom near you?

We already know what the response will be to critics of this elementary school agitprop: Raaaaaacist!

Mark Tapscott at the Examiner has a related warning on the driving force behind the progressive movement.
Guess he’s just another “kook,” too.
***
Jon at Exurban League has a response from the school district confirming the rap session as an official school activity.
The poorly written statement is posted on the school district’s site.

More: What’s the Jamestown Project? Plus: Find your “inner Obama.”

I’ve already found my “inner Obama”.
Usually, once found, a high fiber diet and plenty of water will rid the body of it within 24 hours.
I just came from perusing DU to see what the DUmmies have to say about this. Of course, they are convinced it is all a fake….just like the ACORN videos. LOL!
is that a new subject to add to the school curriculum, must have the condom and cucumber lessons satisfied or are they still glued to that subject?
I have an idea, how about teachers teaching the three “R”s and to hell with all this politically correct crap and politics in the classroom.
How about if they had posed as angry Islamist Terrorists? mmmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Actions of most modern presidents change the world, the question is do they change it for the better.
So far all I see for America and the world is a bleak future.
They said Hussein! Racists! or is that not racist anymore. I can’t keep up.
Rap session. No wonder school music (classical) appreciation curricula have gone down the toilet or the way of the dodo in schools across the country, as rues my ex-music teacher mom.

In the MD video, did anyone notice how unfazed the ACORN workers were to hear the purpose for James and Heather’s house purchase, like they had heard this sort of thing before? That needs to be checked into and hopefully will, thanks to the disclosure and publicity brought on by the lawsuit.
As for the MD law, Rags is right – this will not work in ACORN’s favor. First, the Constitutional right of the press to investigate is sure to trump this law. Like Rags said, the MD law was not intended to provide cover for illegal activity.
Second, who is to say what constitutes expected privacy and a wiretap – I mean, have the people who argue this never seen the video or been to see a loan officer at a bank?
The video clearly shows the doors to what looks more like a conference room than an office, wide open and presents audible sounds of a child or children and adults talking in the next room. It was as open and non-intimate a setting as the hip-high cubicles that mark off loan officers work desks in bank lobbies, where borrows most private financial info is stated before every customer in the bank.
Expected privacy in conversation is implied to mean intimate, personal discussion between two people – unless explicitly stated otherwise; the MD law leaves too much open to interpretation.
I know ACORN was compelled to instigate a lawsuit because they were caught and need to create doubt if they are to survive the scandal, but they really need to rethink this.
