Folks, we may be coming upon a disturbing trend here. What am I referring to? Remember the kids from a pair of elementary schools who were singing the praises of President Obama? Well, it appears that there’s more where that came from.
And yes, they’re doing more of the same – presumably with the seal of approval from BHO. Nonetheless, the below videos, courtesy of Big Hollywood, illustrate the direction that this disturbing trend may be headed:
WEST HIGH SCHOOL (Madison, WI) — 12-6-08
Each year, MULTICO, a company of West High School students chosen to reflect the diverse ethnic and racial population of Madisons schools, tours elementary and middle schools with an original thirty minute production focusing on the concerns and experiences of children and adolescents in a multicultural, multilingual urban environment. MULTICO, a two hour a day English class, writes and performs a series of short sketches that highlight race, gender, sexuality and conflict, providing another tool for classroom teachers to use as we all work towards a more empathetic world.
MORGAN PARK HIGH SCHOOL (Chicago, IL) — 11-13-2008
This song was inspired by President-Elect Barack Obama’s campaign theme. Morgan Park High School Concert Choir of Chicago, IL are the singers on this video. The song was composed by Patricia Tyson (from Chicago), and its intent is to encourage and motivate the listeners and the performers to pursue a more excellent way!
SCHOOL OF UNIDENTIFIED ORIGIN (7TH GRADERS) — 3-9-09
The 7th grade students followed the 2008 presidential election in several of their classes this term. Concluding the election the students were asked to make video segments based on the popular Obama music video, Yes We Can, by musician Will.i.am. The segments were then compiled into one video. In this video the students discuss various goals as well as how they are able to make a difference in improving our world.
GIFFEN ELEMENTARY (Albany, NY) — 2-12-09
This is the updated version of a song my students wrote back in 05 after Senator Obama spoke at the Democratic National Convention. This year they updated it in celebration of President Obama’s victory.
GIFFEN ELEMENTARY (Albany, NY) — 3-29-2009
This is a group of 5th and 6th grade students from Giffen Elementary School performing the Barack Obama song they wrote with their classmates. It is being performed at a function of the Association of Teaching Artists held at the Albany Institute of History and Art.
GOTHAM AVENUE SCHOOL (Elmont, NY )— 2-7-09
“Ending – Part II of the 5th Grade Performance”
POWELL ELEMENTARY (Camden, NJ)– May 6, 2009
Ode to Obama, school kids in New Jersey celebrate Obama’s win.
HENNIGAN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Boston, MA) – July 16, 2009
Music video for the Obama Song from the America SCORES New England winter program at the Hennigan Elementary School.
HARMONY LELAND ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Mableton, GA) — 2-14-09
Ms. Susan Marsico’s Kindergarten music class sings about President Barack Obama. Performed: Friday, February 13, 2009.
MARYMOUNT SCHOOL (SCHOOL ORIGIN UNKNOWN) — 3-18-2009
“No One’s as Irish as Barack Obama”
BARACK OBAMA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (Long Island, NY) — 1-31-2009
If you think the Nobel committee jumped the gun… Days after the 2008 presidential election Ludlum Elementary in Long Island petitioned and won the right to have the name of their school changed to Barack Obama Elementary. Watch this and ask yourself if the Nobel committee’s rationale couldn’t be that much different than the students questioned in the news report.
The above video isn’t of students singing but of a woman named Janelle Kirton performing the school song. The song doesn’t mention Obama, it just relies heavily on his platitudes, but pay special attention to the school decorations inter-cut throughout the video.
