The Obama Song

I saw this news clip today. It pretty creepy.





I have no problem with respect for the office of president, but I'm guessing that these children will be taught nothing about the amazing things George Washington did for our country. And the school wouldn't dream of teaching that level of adoration for one of the founding fathers.

Here's a news report.

This comes on the heals of yet another suggested and soon to be mandated educational reform.

Obama Seeks to Lengthen School Year

Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around the globe.


Call me cynical, but I think it has more to do with more money, power and indoctrinating the next generation into the new world order than academic performance.

Of course, with all those children in school for longer hours and more days, homeschoolers will have that much more the advantage.

Think of the possibilities: less competition for teen jobs, shorter lines at amusement parks and museums, and quieter at the library in the afternoon.

The down side is that we will get stuck yet again, picking up the tab to incarcerate educated everyone else's kids.

Note: Spunky has some great behind the scenes info and updates about the Obama song here.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? You guess that because the kids learned one song mentioning Obama now they won't learn about Washington? Really?

Red, yellow, black and white....some of them are "typical" in his sight.

Most schools teach nothing about the founding fathers, regardless of what they teach about our current president. That is just a fact.

I go to a Catholic school, and we have learned about both the current president, and past ones, everything from Washington up to Bush and Obama. So maybe it just depends on the school, I don't know. But you just can't be so judgemental at first glance. I don't mean to be rude, just set the records straight.

Mary,

As you said, you go to Catholic school, not public school.
