Well, at least the kids weren’t singing – everybody now – “Mmm mmm mmm…Barack Hussein
Obama.” But the latest example of Big Education fawning over Barack Obama isn’t much
better.
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Cass Elementary School in Livonia, Michigan aired a video of
still images of Obama, with a speech by King and – strangely – a Bob Marley song playing in the
background.
The students looked about as interested as if they were watching paint dry.
It’s unclear how long the song actually was, as the citizen journalist video is 1:20 long and the song was clearly longer.
But why do these examples keep popping up? Why is he routinely portrayed in a mythical
context? While it’s important to honor our president, these examples border on propaganda fit
for a dictator.
It’s obvious the teachers unions love Obama. Many of their members do, too. After all, both
national unions – the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers
– have both already endorsed him for re-election. They didn’t even bother to wait to see who
his eventual opponent will be.
But the indoctrination campaign for our dear leader is on, and thankfully parents or teachers
or whoever they are – keep recording the incidents and posting them for all to see. Perhaps
eventually, the propagandists will be shamed into stopping.
