Big Hollywood has already posted a couple disturbing videos of young school children singing/speaking praises to President Obama, but when eleven more dropped in our email box it came as quite a shock. What seemed like an aberration now appears to be a troubling pattern. Maybe "epidemic" is a better word.
| I don't know... there are twenty-two schools in the trailing daughters' school district, from pre-school through high school. While I'm sure there are more schools who've inappropriately celebrated Mr. Obama's ascension to the highest office in the land, I'm not sure that even a few hundred such performances would count as more than an aberration. An aberration that should be punished because it is so highly inappropriate, but an aberration nonetheless. |
Young captive minds, easily influenced, eager for direction, enlisted into a cult of personality focused on an individual who, other than being the first black president, has yet to accomplish anything of significance.
But Obama's skin color has nothing to do with this. Does anyone interested in retaining their merit badge for intellectual honesty really want to argue that Condi Rice or J.C. Watts would've spawned a dozen-and-counting tribute videos?
This is about brainwashing our children into Leftist identity politics. Sure, the schools can argue that they had some kind of parental permission -- which, if true, is somehow even more disturbing -- but who even considers doing something like this with young minds? That's a rhetorical question.
There was some guesswork, but to the best of our ability the videos run from oldest to youngest, starting with high schoolers. We list the name of the school and the date the video was posted. From there, if it could be found (or a confident guess made), you'll find the schools' website, followed by the original title given to the video and any notes added by whoever uploaded to YouTube.
