Indoctrination Watch: Obama school praise hymn of the day

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 6, 2009 12:01 PM

Take a look at the Obama worship song that students at Longfellow Elementary in Howard County, MD were assigned to memorize last week, according to Red Maryland’s Brian Griffiths. A sample:

Barack Obama–Oh yes he rates,
The first Black President in the United States!
He’s smart and he’s–so so good!
He’ll lead this country as he should!
He wants us all to work together,
To make this country even better!
Prez’ Obama says–”Yes We Can!”
Make the US better–hand in hand!

The whole thing is here.

The march of the O-cult continues…

(hat tip – Jeff Quinton)

Update: The school district is blaming the parent who blew the whistle!

    Supose we’ll have our children instructed to report to the WH, parents as ‘enemies of the people for ‘fishy’ rumors about Obamacare as well.

    This is what comes from having no historical perspective.

    “He’s smart!”

    According to the left, the intelligence scale must be the following:

    Anyone who has a degree from an Ivy League school, except George W. Bush (who obviously was awarded his Yale and Harvard degrees due to family connections and not due to his work those schools).

    Actors and actresses and those who make their living reading and repeating what other people write.

    Anyone who voted for President Obama. They must be smart–that’s why they voted for Obama.

    Graduates of any non-Ivy League college, successful business people and/or anyone else who does actual work, employs other people and/or pays taxes.

    Glad I’ve cleared that up.

    Would any of the opponents of teacher or administration led prayer in school care to weigh in on this? Seriously, if the rationale for not allowing prayer in school (aside from the non-existent wall of separation between church and state in the Constitution) is that we not make any of the children who don’t subscribe to a particular religion feel uncomfortable, what about the kids who don’t (or whose parents don’t) worship and adore Barack I Won Obama?

    Aren’t they being forced into an untenable position when school’s ‘teach’ the kids these hymns of praise to Obama? Isn’t that just another form of discrimination?

    As far as I’m concerned, this is an abuse of power by the schools. Parents can choose what church they send or take their children to (and that church isn’t paid for by tax dollars); it isn’t that simple when it comes to taxpayer funded schools.

    The above picture of Obama certainly is remeniscent of the poses used to portray Benito Mussolini, and Adolf Hitler.

Both those titles mean The Leader…another thing they have in common with our “Dear Leader”…they were

    Read James Clavell’s 96 page book The Children’s Story for a chilling view at the ability of a focused teacher to mold the minds of elementary school aged children against everything they have been taught about family, patriotism, right and wrong, etc. All done in a loving way by the teacher and school.

    Written as a Cold War warning to be alert for such activities in our schools, it could be read today as a warning about enemies within.

    I wonder if these bobble-head educators ever have any pangs of guilt over using kids to spread and promote the cult of Obummer? You have to be the most mindless, empty-headed fool to use children to promote your own crush for someone who is president. Every time we see this, it gets more and more creepy and yet it’s okay. Just like it is when children sing praise of Mao in China and do their whole song and dance routine to national Chinese events commemorating the day China fell under Communist rule.

    It’s sick that people use kids like this. My brother-in-law, who is the dean of a school of education, is so far left that he’d make Stalin and Mao blush, has indocrinated my nephew into lambasting the Republican party on his Facebook page even though he’s 13 years old. I don’t know where the critical thinking even took place. He’s 13!

    It’s amazing that educators, who should know better than to practice this groupthink, not only do it with unsuspecting, innocent children, but their own. I feel sorry for these kids and my nephew and his brother.

    It’s called “affirmative action” for a reason. The day racial preferences end the better off we’ll all be. Such preferences are a reason why many minorities (not all) don’t work in school and fall behind their peers. Why do any work when the State can pitch in and get you a sweet golden ticket to places like Stanford or the Ivy League (MO and BO).

    Registration records are not good enough. Prove he actually did school work while he “was there.”

    I’d be curious to see what classes he took… in between the recreational hits he took with cocaine… the non-addictive drug.

    So, I guess his emulation of President Lincoln isn’t far off the mark! Lincoln didn’t go to college either. The only difference is, Lincoln held the country together; the Pretender is tearing it apart.

    He can emulate all he wants but he’ll never be as great. That was a time when leaders were born, not made by the Ivy League. Unbeknownst to many of our young people, college doesn’t make you better or smarter. College is just another tool in tool chest to train you for a job. College-educated people who laude their travels and their knowledge, are some of the dumbest people I know. These are the people who don’t know their own history and don’t even know their own obligations as voters. Yet, they’re more obligated to be “world citizens.” Like my brother-in-law I just mentioned.

    The United States NOT being marxist has had a tamping affect on much of the world–go too far and capital and talent leave. THERE IS NO PLACE TO GO TO-the marxist will have no restraint should Obmama succeed. Any country trying to be free would be invaded by it’s marxist neighbors and all the world leaders would cheer.

    South America’s brief fling with democracy is fading and the United States-aka United Nations Zone 6- is abandoning Columbia in favor of Venezuela and Bolivia. Some of western Europe has moved right but the Russian double eagle is awakening. Bill Clinton and George Bush pretty much forced the Balkans back into the Russian orbit.

    You could move to Canada but they are ahead of Obama by a generation–their diversity police have the power of law. You could try Mexico, Korea or Japan-three dying countries. Australia will jail you if you quote “hateful” scripture from the Bible thus demeaning islam.

    I am staying put–this country was worth fighting for in 1775 and still is; how many of us are willing to fight is to be seen. IF we have an election in 2010 we shall see.
