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,

Should the video "I Pledge" be shown in an elementary school?
Total Votes = 30969
Yes
4.963 %
No
95.03 %
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.

This seems like a good place to ask this question....With Obama planning to make a speech Tuesday to the school kids of America....and with a before and after lesson plan sprung on the school boards just yesterday...."I wonder if the lesson plans were written by Bill Ayers?"

Its sad...
We all knew, We all said months ago that Obama would be pulling garbage such as installing Socialist government programs and subverting the political process-- including youth indoctrination, and starting a “cult of personality"... and nobody believed us.

Even more sad is that most on the left still support these actions.

10 Questions your children should really consider after the speech today.
1. President and Mrs. Obama have chosen to send their daughters to private school, at a cost of about $29,000 a year for each girl. What choices, if any, should other parents have about where their children go to school and about how to pay for educating their children?
2. Why is it important that the president and other elected officials, like the mayor, senators, members of Congress, or the governor listen to what citizens say, whether in town hall meetings or in any other form of citizen communication? Why is what citizens say important to these elected officials?
3. When elected officials pass laws should they and their staffs also be obliged to follow those same laws or should they be exempt--and in either case, why?
4. If an elected or appointed public official breaks the law what should be done about that?
5. When elected officials publicly make a promise, what should be done if they go back on their word and do something completely different--including the exact opposite of what they said they'd do?
6. President Obama is a big believer in personal responsibility. How does "personal responsibility" apply to elected officials and to citizens, in general?
7. How much control should individual citizens have over their lives versus the amount of control given to government when it comes to things like education, health care, saving and investing for retirement and any other issue?
8. What limits, if any, should there be on freedom of speech, such as on the radio, on TV, on YouTube, in print, in classroom discussions, etc.?
9. What do you think about giving some students special preferences in admitting them to schools or awarding them money or prizes: what guidelines do you suggest?
10. What is the one piece of advice that you would to each of the following groups: Teachers? Principals? Parents? Your fellow students? The American people?

Oh boy! Hope they don't ever ask my son that last one....He might repeat what his old daddy says about those things.
Teachers? Principals?....You're fired.
Parents.....They're yours, you feed'em.
Fellow students....shut up and listen(that one would be his alone)
The American People....the free ride is over.
