A Virginia school district is defending a song allegedly written and performed by a group of third graders about the Occupy Wall Street movement that conservative bloggers are calling a form of indoctrination.
The song, “Part of the 99,” was performed by children at Woodbrook Elementary School in Albemarle County, Virginia.
A spokesman for the school system said as far as they were concerned there isn’t a controversy and called criticism of the program unfortunate.
“We really don’t censor the topics that students come up with,” (suuure you don't, sweet cheeks. I'll just schedule Eddie Eagle for a visit next week, and we'll see how free the speech is.) :whatever: school spokesman Phil Giaramita told Fox News & Commentary. “This is the first time we’ve had the lyrics of one of these songs criticized.”
The controversy surrounding the song was first reported by the Weasel Zippers (http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Todd-Starnes/128334087241432) website.
“They’re actually claiming third-grade children wrote these lyrics and chose the topic as well,” Weasel Zippers wrote. “Because what eight-year-old child isn’t obsessed with class warfare?”
Teh Stoopid is strong with this one. :banghead:
