'It's Very Inappropriate to Show a Radical, Leftist Propaganda Piece That Political to Children'

Of course it's inappropriate, but they just don't care. Anything you can do to indoctrinate your kids is just fine with the radical left. They've been caught and are now backtracking, but let's stay on offense.

A school principal has apologized for showing a video at an assembly that a politically conservative group leader is calling "radical, leftist propaganda."

Children at Eagle Bay Elementary School in Farmington were shown a short video called "I pledge" on Aug. 28. The video opens with an image of President Barack Obama and part of a speech in which he says, "Let us summon a new spirit of patriotism, of responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves but each other." The video then features celebrities making pledges about how they will help the president and the world -- and that's where some say the problem lies.

Many pledges, such as supporting local food banks, smiling more, and caring for the elderly are noncontroversial. But other pledges, such as "to never give anyone the finger when I'm driving again," "to sell my obnoxious car and buy a hybrid" and to advance stem cell research cross the line, some say.

"Showing the video in a public school is completely inappropriate," said Jennifer Cieslewicz, whose daughter is a first-grader at the school. "I don't believe a video such as this that promotes certain values should be shown to elementary students, especially without parents being aware. "

Chris Williams, Davis School District spokesman, said school principal Ofelia Wade and school PTA leaders decided to show the video as part of an assembly about the school's theme for the year, service. He said the PTA board chose the video and Wade did not see it before it was shown in the assembly.

"It got to a point where she turned to her assistant and said, 'Oops, I wish I would have seen this before. I don't think I would have shown it,' " Williams said. He said Wade could see how some adults might find the video political.

"She acknowledges she was wrong and apologizes for it and says she's sorry," Williams said. Attempts to reach school PTA leaders Tuesday.

Williams said Wade plans to send a letter home to parents Wednesday about the issue.

Gayle Ruzicka, president of conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said the video was blatantly political. She said other offensive pledges included, "I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama," "I pledge allegiance to the funk, to the united funk of funkadelica," and pledges to not use plastic grocery bags and not flush the toilet after urinating.

"It's very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children," Ruzicka said. "If parents want their children to learn about those things and do them in the home, wonderful, fine, but it's not the place of the school to show a one-sided propaganda piece to children without parents knowing about it."

Just a Grunt posted this mind-numbing video yesterday and it came out months ago, but since it's now garnered much more attention, it's worth watching again.

Question: Do you think any of the morons in the video regret filming this eight months later?

But Don't You Dare Say The Pledge of Allegiance

Remember this video.

Don't Vote!

Well apparently they think that format is a winner because now they have a new video that they are going to be showing to your kids while they are locked away in their government education centers, i.,e public school, whose theme is "I Pledge".

Yup more celebrities telling you how they pledge to save the unicorns, stopped climate change, and magically make everybody millionaires overnight, if you will just pledge to volunteer. Of course in the Obama economy that is about the only job you can get.

This is all part of the concerted effort to push volunteerism onto the youth of America and to blur what Sept 11 is really all about.

For those that haven't heard Barry O is declaring Sept 11 as a National Day of Service. So instead of remembering the horrible events that occurred that day in 2001 he wants you to go paint an old folks home or pick up litter along a highway. The video also pushes the USA Service dot org. For those not fluent in the nuances of the web it is a safe bet that any web site that ends in org is a liberal venue, like MoveOn dot org, etc. With the track record this administration has in gathering personal information why would anybody visit one of their web sites and sign up. Unless you want to be on the next mailing from David Axelrod I wouldn't advise it.

Well anyway here is your I Pledge video which will be shown to your kids soon.


UPDATE: Some folks in the comments are wondering where I got the idea that this video was being shown in the schools. I got it from here, where it has already been shown.
