Can You say INDOCTRINATION?

Now, we have an example of a New Jersey elementary school that is injecting politics where it has no place. Rather than studying how government works... how the president is elected... how the Congress is structured... these kids were required to sing a song praising Barack Obama. The lyrics mentioned his policies and children sang about how good those policies are. Is this what you want your children doing in school?
Here's the story. As reported by FOXNews.com, children at B. Bernice Young Elementary School were "being led in a song overflowing with campaign slogans and praise for 'Barack Hussein Obama,' repeatedly chanting the president's name and celebrating his accomplishments, including his 'great plans' to 'make this country's economy No. 1 again.'"
The video can be seen here:


And here are the lyrics of the songs:
Song 1
Mm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said that all must lend a hand
To make this country strong again

Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said we must be fair today
Equal work means equal pay

Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said that we must take a stand
To make sure everyone gets a chance

Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
He said red, yellow, black or white
All are equal in his sight

Mmm, mmm, mm!Barack Hussein Obama
Yes!Mmm, mmm, mmBarack Hussein Obama

Song 2
Hello, Mr. President we honor you today!
For all your great accomplishments, we all doth say "hooray!"

Hooray, Mr. President! You're number one!
The first black American to lead this great nation!

Hooray, Mr. President we honor your great plans
To make this country's economy number one again!

Hooray Mr. President, we're really proud of you!
And we stand for all Americans under the great Red, White, and Blue!

So continue ---- Mr. President we know you'll do the trick
So here's a hearty hip-hooray ----
Hip, hip hooray!Hip, hip hooray!Hip, hip hooray!


First of all, this is just plain weird. Secondly, this is a clear injection of politics and political favoritism inside a classroom. Equal work means equal pay? Come on. All are equal in his sight? That one really creeps me out. It sounds like they are talking about God.

Schools are more and more becoming the laboratory for left-wing experimentation rather than a place to teach the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Just check out this story in Investor's Business Daily. Seventh grade students in California are getting a healthy dose of biased and revisionist history on Islamic studies while the study of Christianity gets pushed to the side. Is this what our public schools are all about?

Thank the Lord we are home schooling our kids now!
