“Mmm mmm mmm:” New details about the Dear Leader song video; Update: School responds

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.

    This is the world of ‘I’bama.

    You cannot question him. You cannot challenge him. His words are declared instantly as truth. Our children are being forced by their schools to accept this and parents are not given the chance to refuse.

    Every speech he gives is about him. He uses the words I, me, mine more than any politician in our history. It is for all intent and purpose a cult at this point.

    When I went to the youtube page to see this, they offered related videos. One was about the Sept 8 speech that caused an uproar. In it, the poster had archival footage of school children singing songs in praise of their “leader.” The footage was in reverse chronological order: Kim Jong-Il, Hitler, and Lenin. Seeing those ramps the creep-factor of this video WAY up!

    When it comes to propagandizing our children, I believe the left has seriously overplayed their hand. We know this has been going on for generations, but never so blatantly as now. And with so many people’s eyes opened, there will be a huge backlash whenever these things are brought to light. Messing with our children brings out the anger in parents like nothing else can. We must not let them have our kids…at any price. If you possibly can, pull them out of school at the first sign of indoctrination. Scream bloody murder. Don’t let them get away with this…it is the worst kind of betrayal of the citizens of this FREE REPUBLIC!! I am a grandmother and I am MAD!

    Carney-Nunes is senior vice president of The Jamestown Project … author of the children’s books, “I Am Barack Obama (2009),”

    It’s all part of the bigger picture…

    The vision statement of Trinity United Church of Christ is based upon the systematized liberation theology that started in 1969 with the publication of Dr. James Cone’s book, Black Power and Black Theology.

    Dr. Cone freely admits that the Nation of Islam and its teachings are totally in line with his Black Power philosophy.

    The Nation of Islam teaches that black people constitute a nation and that through the institution of the Atlantic slave trade they were systematically denied knowledge of their past history, language, culture, and religion and, in effect, lost control of their lives. Central to this doctrine, NOI theology asserts that Black people’s experience of slavery was the fulfillment of Bible prophecy in Genesis 15:13–14 and Acts 7:6–7, as well as other verses. It’s interesting to see the Nation of Islam quoting the Bible. Combine that with Trinity UCC publishing material from Hamas in its church bulletin and it’s not hard to see that TUCC and NOI go together like peas and carrots. Now note the importance of “Four Hundred Years” in those two Bible passages:

    Then He said to Abram: “Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions.
    Genesis 15:13-14

    But God spoke in this way: that his descendants would dwell in a foreign land, and that they would bring them into bondage and oppress them four hundred years. ‘And the nation to whom they will be in bondage I will judge,’ said God, ‘and after that they shall come out and serve Me in this place.
    Acts 7:6-7

    Why is that significant? Just last year we celebrated “America’s 400th Anniversary” in Jamestown, Virginia. Also understand the Democratic Socialism goals of the Jamestown Project at Yale. This is real. There are radical people at work here, many with close ties to Barack Obama.

    Both the Nation of Islam and Christian believers of “Black Liberation Theology” believe that Barack Hussein Obama II is the fulfillment of “400 years” prophecy.

    The text above is from a post I wrote in June of last year:

    Unity, Independence, and Hell

    Do not forget that roughly 30% of the population votes liberal/democrat all the time. Roughly 30% votes conservative/republican all the time. The remaining 40% is were the battleground is during elections.

    So, 30% believe President Bush ordered the attacks on the Twin Towers. Guess which 30%?

    Andersen Book Blows Ayers’ Cover on ‘Dreams’
    Jack Cashill
    September 23, 2009
    americanthinker.com

    In his new book, “Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage,” Best-selling celebrity journalist, Christopher Andersen, has blown a huge hole in the Obama genius myth without intending to do so.

    Relying on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama herself, Andersen describes how Dreams came to be published — just as I had envisioned it in my articles on the authorship of Dreams.  With the deadline pressing, Michelle recommended that Barack seek advice from “his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.”

    To flesh out his family history, Obama had taped interviews with various family members. Andersen writes, “These oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers.” Andersen quotes a Hyde Park neighbor, “Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together. It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both.”

    Andersen continues, “In the end, Ayers’s contribution to Barack’s Dreams From My Father would be significant–so much so that the book’s language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers’s own writing.”

    More to come!

    Email the principal

    Ms. King,

    It is APPALLING that you would allow our children to be subject to a teacher that is only proliferating her political agenda. Children are to be taught about our country and its history of our founders and HOW the political system works. NOT to be indoctrinated with a political ideology such as Charisse Carney-Nunes pro-Obama tour. We don’t care what her political ideology or affiliation is but, we do care if it is forced upon our children. Children and their parents will guide and shape their child’s political education regarding candidates and their affiliations NOT schools or teachers! Children are impressionable until they can make their own choices. STAY out of our politics! Since we the tax payer pay you and the teachers your political views are not warranted. Did Ms. Carney-Nunes make a rap song about Ronald Reagan or George W. Bush NO! Then why is it acceptable for Barack Obama? It’s NOT! I would suggest you, NO I demand she be relieved of her duties IMMEDIATELY! Public schools are not by law to be affiliated with any political party! Thank you for your time.

    An image of Obama flashed into my mind when I read that. The image of him telling some “journalist” that Ayers was just someone in his neighborhood who he barely knew. Their kids went to the same school. That was all. That man has lied since he learned to talk. He is such an ingrained liar that he does it very very well. However, when you know that every word coming out of his mouth is a lie, it is a great advantage. Every thing he says can now be discounted and we can go on from there. Makes our job so much easier to know he is totally pathalogical.

    Obama.

    His typical white grandparents moved from Kansas to Washington, where they joined a Seattle area Unitarian chuch known locally as “The Little Red Church on the Hill”. Not for the paint job.

    Then to Hawai’i, where Grandpa Dunham was a drinking buddy with noted Communist and proud sex pervert Frank Marshall Davis.

    His mother, Stanley (Grandpa Dunham was a commie and weird, and named his daughter after himself) may have allowed Frank Marshall Davis to photograph her nude. Or maybe not. She then proceeded to marry two men. Both Muslim. Neither American.

    His father abandons him immediately. His step-father sounds like a decent guy, taking Barack to the mosque in Indonesia, where Obama learns to say, with great pride and nostalgia, the muezzin’s call to prayer, and Islamic greetings, in perfect Arabic.

    Stanley doesn’t want to play typical Muslimah house wife, leaves Mr. Soetero. Drops Obama and his sister Maya with typical racist white grandparents. Typical racist white grandpa, the commie, decides his CP-USA drinking buddy is the Black role model young Obama needs.

    Obama goes to Occidental, where he admits in his autobiography that he hung out with the Marxist students and professors, on to New York, where Bill Ayers was living. Did they meet there? Nobody knows. He does apparently meet radical Israel hater Edward Said.

    Back to Chicago, working with ACORN, impresses somebody, off to Harvard law, back to Chicago, launches his first race for office from the home of Ayers, the unrepentant Weatherman who killed his girlfriend in a work accident on a massive nail filled bomb that collapsed an entire apartment building, meant for an enlisted men’s dance at Fort Dix. Rumors of a second bomb timed for the arriving police and rescue workers. And Ayer’s common law wife (his first girlfriend blew up, remember), Bernadine Dohrn, admirer of Charles Manson (“they stuck a fork in that pigs (pregnant actress Sharon Tate) stomach. Groovy!”) and suspect in the killing of several San Francisco police officers in daring daylight assaults on police stations.

    BHO isn’t some naive Jimmy Carter 2.0 fool. He is a carefully groomed mole sent to destroy the United States. Maybe the KGB recruited him before the (temporary?) fall of the USSR.

    That last paragraph- just a theory, but the facts sure seem to support it.

I do think Obama will be found out…for everythng, including the coverups of his birth records, his college records, a lot of things in his past that are murky. Just look at how the truth is coming out about his real agenda, his link to Ayers, etc. It is slowly coming forward, thanks to people like Glen Beck, Michelle Malkin and YOU! Keep digging.

    I read in the news last week that white children were innately racist. Obviously the white kids in the video where forced to be there and performed under duress. The fact that parents are protesting the Obama rap video only confirms that innately racist children grow up to be overtly racist adults. White Americans need to wake up, embrace social justice, and atone for their racist genes. Only then will we have racial harmony.

    This presumes there is no power till you reach 50% plus and then there is absolute power. That’s not the way American is supposed to work. If we are never more than 40% we still have the right to resist tyranny. We can demand an end to the brainwashing of our children without winning an election. Governors and state legilators must stand up for the 10th Ammendment. When we try to reach a magical 51% by diluting what we stand for we are beaten even if we “win.” It’s just a slower death that way. DEMAND your rigthts! Stand up for America!

    HI CHEAPSEAT–very good comments on how early age indoctrination results in the many “locos” we see around us.
    ***
    When you look at the good kids of most races and backgrounds in the video you see different futures for them. Those who are taught by rational thinking parents, teachers, churches, mentors, etc. will have good futures.
    ***
    Those taught by racists, losers, perverts, agenda driven teachers, etc. will grow up with twisted and distorted ways of thinking and acting.
    ***
    Does the school teach real history in the later grades? Does the school have a pledge of allegience? My schools did 60+ years ago. I hope the kids in the video will still like and respect each other when they are adults–and that they will have good civic and personal values then. They are the future of our country. No BIG BROTHER INDOCTRINATION is going to help them in their futures.

    I asked the receptionist if she had been getting a lot of calls about the video. She very curtly told me that could be answered by the public relations department which is no longer accepting calls. (surmised by the fact that the VMS is full).

    My company had a “public relations” office/person. She had an excellent method and manner of avoiding the issue, thanking you for your interest and hanging up when you were most confused. We moved her into sales where she really shined.

    For a truly exceptional “public relations” office you install a phone system that puts the caller through an endless loop regardless of which button they push.

Our curriculum studies, honors and recognizes those who serve our country. The recording and distribution of the class activity were unauthorized.

    Yes, this is an anti-capitalism 20-minute environmental wacko film disguised as educational. It starts off innocuous enough which fools you into a false sense of security.

    Eh, if I were the kind of person who wanted to chime in “RIGHT ON!” I’d post on the huffington post (not that I agree with them on everything, but you get the idea).

    But to make a broader point about political bias in the classroom, I would say that of course school teachers tend to skew to the left. It’s the kind of profession that is appealing to wide eyed liberals coming out of college who feel guilty about “going corporate” but aren’t hard working enough to be, say, a public interest lawyer. Sort of like being a social worker, or “community organizer.” Plus the demographics skew female, who are more liberal than men.

    All that said, if conservatives really want to complain, they should become teachers themselves. If not, just get over it.
