Mmm mmm mmm…Indoctrination of Our Youth (Sing It With Me Now)

Some public school teachers have been seizing the opportunity to hail Barack Obama as the virtual second coming, something we haven’t seen for any president in recent memory, if ever.

ABCnews.com, among others, reported on the snappy, stubbornly catchy tune, “Mmm mmm mmm…Barack Hussein Obama,” filmed last school year in New Jersey.

BigHollywood.com has posted 11 new videos of young children singing the praises of Obama.  In one video, the 5^th and 6^th graders call Obama, “a modern Martin Luther.”  “He’s known around the world – come on, let’s celebrate.”  Yippee.

In another, 5^th graders sing, “You know we gotta get Barack and all of his crew/ In the White House so they can prove that.”  “Change that we can believe in” is what they’re referring to.  No advocacy or indoctrination there…

Another, of kids ranging from pre-school to 3^rd grade: “Barack Obama there is none higher/ Other politicians should call me sire … We’re the baddest of the bad/ The cool of the cool/ I’m Barack/ I rock and rule.”

To me, it’s not disturbing that it’s for a Democrat.  It’s disturbing that it’s the elevation of an elected official to a kind of mythical, god-like status – a place where no sitting president belongs.

The American left would have been outraged if such a thing had been happening in America’s schools to honor George W. Bush, and rightly so.  And I would have been right there with them, demanding it be stopped.
