Singing Songs to the President in New Jersey

If you send your children to a public school, they may be secretly indoctrinated in Obama-worship. If that's not your plan for your children, you had better act now, before it's too late. Second-graders in New Jersey were taught to sing songs of praise and fidelity to Barack Obama in February and again in June, and parents only found out about this in September.

Public schoolchildren are now forbidden to sing Christmas carols that mention the real meaning of Christmas (only songs like "Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer" are allowed), but in New Jersey, second-graders were taught to sing the spiritual "Jesus Loves the Little Children" in which Jesus' name was replaced with Obama's. The children sang, "He said red, yellow, black, or white/All are equal in his sight/Barack Hussein Obama. Hmm, hmm, hmm." Before Obama's election, it was considered a political no-no for Republicans to use his middle name. Beginning with his inauguration in January, he and his followers use his middle name Hussein to glorify his Muslim heritage and connections.

This song was not some extracurricular playground activity. The video makes clear that the teacher was methodically instructing the children, using one talented second-grader to demonstrate exactly how to sing the song, and coaching students who forgot the words. The teacher also led the children in giving a sort of Obama salute. On cue, they outstretched their right hands, accentuating their community of action in praising Obama.

The New Jersey songs were first taught to the children at Bernice Young Elementary School in February to celebrate Black History Month, and then videotaped in June as part of a Father's Day tribute to Barack Obama. Only after the video was later posted on the internet did parents learn about it.
