Teacher Suspended in Obama Video Scandal

Teacher suspended in Obama video scandal

Thomas Lifson

The shocking video of uniformed youngsters marching and chanting about Obama we blogged yesterday turns out to have been organized during school hours by a middle school teacher at a (taxpayer funded) charter school in Kansas City.  The teacher in question, whose name has not been disclosed, has been suspended and may face legal charges.

Fox News reports

The Junior Fraternity students studied Obama's economic plan with the teacher, and the superintendent did not know whether the teacher or the students scripted the routine. The group should have also studied John McCain's economic plan, the superintendent said. 

In the video, eighth- and ninth-graders wearing military camouflage pants and navy t-shirts chant and perform a routine in the style of a step show, a dance popular among African-American fraternities at universities.

"People are upset that possibly taxpayer money is being used to support one particular candidate," [superintendent] McGautha said, "and now I can understand that. And I didn't condone them. I try very, very hard to remain within the limits of the law. I think this is unfortunate."

She said she was aware of the video, and that many of the school's activities are recorded, but that the teacher had been warned in a letter not to put it on the Internet. If he did, she said, he should seek legal counsel.

The teacher's fate will be taken up by the charter school's board, she said.

"Certain things don't happen in public schools anyway, but there area lot of other ramifications when you take it public," McGautha said. 

"As far as [the teacher is] concerned, I think he gets what was supposed to come to him. But I don't think the children should be the victims of his stupidity."

I find it disturbing that the superintendent knew about the political indoctrination underway and only objected to it being made public on the internet. Now, she claims to be disturbed by the politicization of school activities. The fact that her charges have been indoctrinated to chant that "because of Obama" they will accomplish marvelous things in life is far worse than making it public.

Hi Sandy,

Yes, there seems to be a lot of ignorance floating around these days by school teachers with this presidential campaign.  I think that is ironic, but not surprising.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.  We need to be very careful and aware at what is going on in these matters.

Hi Joe

I agree that this is ironic, but not surprising.  I was watching 2 lawyers on Fox this morning, and one, the defense attorney for this teacher, says there was nothing wrong with what he did.   hmmm

Hi Sandy,

Thanks for the link to what I agree is a very disturbing Video.  As you mentioned, not surprising, but very disturbing.

Unfortunately, as you and I both know, it appears that a large portion of the American people are too Brain-Dead to care.  Just like sheep being led to the Slaughter. 

Hope you've all gotten your caves picked out where you may be able to continue to worship our Lord after Ayatollah Obama is Inaugurated, or perhaps I should say Coronated.  If history is any indication, and it usually is, then one of the first items on the Agenda once the Muslims take over is to kill the Infidels (Christians) and burn their Houses of Worship.  Of course, Hussein Obama has already stated that his first priority will be the passage of FOCA, The Freedom of Choice Act, so that he can make certain that the Slaughter of the Innocents can be doubled or tripled as soon as possible.  I guess destroying all of the Christians will have to wait a little while at least.  Oh, and by the way, that doesn't mean just "White Christians", my Brothers.

Have A Blessed Day,

Phil

Why don't schools with high minority rates ever exalt conservative Republican minority politicians?  Why doesn't that school create a chant about Condolleeza Rice?
