School Defends “Occupy” Song For 8-year-olds
By Todd Starnes/TWITTER | FoxNews & Commentary

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 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:

Everyone over looked the important question...how long have they been in the third grade?

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

If they don't make it through 3rd grade by the 3rd of 4th time, they usually moved along to the union hall after that, right? :confused:

Beck covered this in today's show.  Creepy shit.  Home school if you can, and if you can't, be all over your kids' school like white on rice!
