YouTube - Parents Approved Of Obama Song Lyrics: Courier Post Editor
Here’s a Fox News video.
It was February, a month after the first African American in this countries history was elected President much to the chagrin of many.
Not only was this a celebration of Obama being the first African American President, it was one video, of an eight video skit taken in February, which also celebrated Abraham Lincolns birthday, as well as Valentines Day, Groundhog Day, ect, ect.
According to this “Fox News video” the lyrics were sent home prior to the assembly, no parents objected to them.
No parents have come forth objecting, even after the “Fox News” induced ****storm, So how were the lyrics forced on the children?
While your looking at the Fox video notice they have the words the children are singing crawling across the screen.
I would be interested which ones seem to be objectionable to anyone here.
Would you object this part“ make this country strong’ again”?
Perhaps this is the one you find objectionable. “equal work for equal pay”.
If not those two, maybe it was this one that struck a nerve.
“to make sure everyone gets a chance be they red, white ,or black”.
First thanks for posting this info. I make my remarks based upon the assumption that this video is legitimate since we know that the source is from a biased "news" source.
I am not a wild partisan so I will not condemn President Obama since there is absolutely NO indication that he fostered this video. Still this is highly inappropriate because the statements are value statements hense that make them political.
To have children sing "]“ make this country strong’ again” says that the prior president made us weak. Even though that is a true statement is is a value statement hense political.
]“equal work for equal pay” even though that is a good thing to strive for it does not belong in a sond that children sing.
I don't know what to make of the "red, white ,or black”. ditty. Yes it is about equality then if that is what is to be tought why not have the children be tought to treat everyone equal, white, red, black, stoopped, srtriped, or purple.
Even if this was done with he "best" of intentions I just do not like it having children singing things that can be construed as political.
Yet let's be honet here people there is no indication the President Obama had anything to do with these songs of Chairman Mao.
