OK, kids... Today's lesson: Sing Praises to Obama

If I say, "Now I've seen it all," then I will simply have to repeat that phrase in a week or so, when Barack Obama and his left-wing followers once again do something that crosses the line between presidential respect and indoctrination. Remember when Obama gave his speech to school children? The speech may have been about doing one's best, but the lesson plan produced by the White House suggested that children come up with ways to support Obama. It clearly went overboard, and because of the backlash, it was revised.

Now, we have an example of a New Jersey elementary school that is injecting politics where it has no place. Rather than studying how government works... how the president is elected... how the Congress is structured... these kids were required to sing a song praising Barack Obama. The lyrics mentioned his policies and children sang about how good those policies are. Is this what you want your children doing in school?

Here's the story. As reported by FOXNews.com, children at B. Bernice Young Elementary School were "being led in a song overflowing with campaign slogans and praise for 'Barack Hussein Obama,' repeatedly chanting the president's name and celebrating his accomplishments, including his 'great plans' to 'make this country's economy No. 1 again.'"

And here are the lyrics of the songs:

Song 1

Mm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mm!
Barack Hussein Obama

Yes!
Mmm, mmm, mm
Barack Hussein Obama

Song 2

Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----

Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!
Hip, hip hooray!

First of all, this is just plain weird. Secondly, this is a clear injection of politics and political favoritism inside a classroom. Equal work means equal pay? Come on. All are equal in his sight? That one really creeps me out. It sounds like they are talking about God.

As FOXNews.com reports, the video was posted on YouTube by a pro-Obama activist and author.

"Alteredbeat," the YouTube user who posted the video on the Internet, told FOXNews.com that the video was first put online by Charisse Carney-Nunes, an activist and author of the children's book "I Am Barack Obama," which her Web site says "allows children to see themselves through the inspirational story of President Obama." Carney-Nunes has been promoting the book during visits to schools on the east coast.

Carey-Nunes responded to questions by saying, "The kids made up the songs on their own." Equal pay for equal work? That was made up by elementary school children on their own? I don't think so!

Schools are more and more becoming the laboratory for left-wing experimentation rather than a place to teach the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Just check out this story in Investor's Business Daily. Seventh grade students in California are getting a healthy dose of biased and revisionist history on Islamic studies while the study of Christianity gets pushed to the side. Is this what our public schools are all about?

Singing praises to Barack Obama in a clearly political way has NO PLACE in a classroom. These children need to go have fun at recess and not be the pawns for someone's left-wing political agenda. Let's get back to the basics for a change.
