This video just creeps me out. These are kids from the Urban Community Leadership Academy of Kansas City, MO . The video was made last year when Obama was starting his campaign and the school says that they have now stopped this regiment because they thought it was pushing a specific political agenda (you think??) It reminds me of the Hitler youth program. Don't misunderstand: I'm not saying Mr. Obama had anything to do with this group. What disturbs me is the cultish aspect of it. It's creepy.
I'll have to watch it but my first thoughts when I heard about it was "if a Catholic boys choir sang a song about loving Kennedy - wouldn't it have been considered charming and sweet?" or not? If a bunch of kids from Atlanta sang about Carter - would it mater? Reagan? I mean - I get what's weird but I think it's the day today - to think things are "bad" and not innocent - I truly think kids sing all sorts of songs they are taught and that this is quite harmless. But that's me. Idon't think I'd care at all if a video of kids sang about Palin or McCain you know?
ReplyDeleteNot sure but I think you're thinking of the kids video singing about change and such; this one is not that one.
ReplyDeleteI don't get how all of these people are saying it's not partisan or supporting any one candidate! With that, with the artile I posted on my blog about the VA teacher's union...even Gwen Ifle's book. I think she was fair, but I still think writing a book with a candidate's name in the title is grounds for examination!
