The Burlington, New Jersey school system has performed an excellent public service by providing parents with the perfect reason not to send their children to public school. If you ever doubted that today's public schools indoctrinate rather than educate, the below video will erase those doubts. Watching it the first time was sickening. Watching it again was infuriating, and reminiscent of the kind of propagandizing and indoctrination one might expect from North Korea, Mao's China, Stalin's USSR, or Hitler's Germany. If you disagree and think it "no big deal" (as one CNN commentator labeled it), then just imagine the public and media outcry if these same children had sung the praises of George W. Bush.
Check out the lyrics:
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said take a stand, make sure everyone gets a chance
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight
Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama
YEAH. Barack Hussein Obama
The lyrics also included the following:
Hello Mr. President, We honor you today
For all your great accomplishments, we all do say hooray
Hooray, Mr. President you are No. 1
The first black American to lead this nation
Did you notice the line that was lifted from the song, "Jesus Loves the Little Children"? Instead of "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight..." we get "Red and yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight..." And to think, public schools prohibit children from singing the praises of God, our Creator...
I think, perhaps, it might be more useful for our schools to teach our children that, unlike dictators, our elected representatives and political leaders are the servants of the people, and that the people are sovereign.
Ah, yes, in the words of the old Chinese curse: May you live in interesting times.
The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!
