Update on the older males and their creepy video:
A middle school teacher in Missouri was suspended Monday for putting a video on YouTube of his students chanting lines from Barack Obama speeches and wearing military fatigues.
The video, called “Obama Youth — Junior Fraternity Regiment,” was posted by a YouTube user named “keepitwildtv” on Oct. 2. The school learned the video was on the Internet and took action against the teacher Monday morning.
Well, what is this person’s name. The video celebrates Obama and how he has inspired these young males.
She would not disclose the teacher’s name. “At this time because of the legal action that we’ll probably have to take against the teacher, I’m not going to give his name,” McGautha said.
Why not, does he no longer wish to be associated with The One????
“People are upset that possibly taxpayer money is being used to support one particular candidate,” McGautha said, “and now I can understand that. And I didn’t condone them. I try very, very hard to remain within the limits of the law. I think this is unfortunate.”
I think it would be wise to have this school’s finances reviewed according to how they are used.
This person was forewarned about allowing his video to be leaked onto the internet.
She said she was aware of the video, and that many of the school’s activities are recorded, but that the teacher had been warned in a letter not to put it on the Internet. If he did, she said, he should seek legal counsel.
The teacher is in trouble because he made it public? The school knew about it, had no problem with it until it was made public? So the militant indoctrination of students to support the candidate who is the choice of militant groups like ACORN is not a problem for the school except the public found out about it. Are these the type of exercises that Obama’s volunteer corp that is to be the same size as the US Military will be conducting? Michelle Obama told us about this: “Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.” Is a warning sign about the people that treasure individual liberty and the right of dissent?
Uhm, YES this IS creepier than the children’s choir. Inspirational or Indoctrination??? Military garb?
POSSIBLY Obama Male Cheerleaders? I don’t know, you take a guess.
No, NOT Chippendales. Yes, that was total gratuitous snark.
From Ed Morrisey:
The quasi-military marching disturbs some, but as Jonah Goldberg notes, there is a tradition of this in black fraternities.

mcnorman, you rat! I thought you were a beginning blogger like me. This is a great blog! Congratulations, and I’m envious.
There are many things that bother me about this video, but we don’t have time or space for me to blather on about all of them so I’ll just list a couple.
First, this is at a charter school, which means tax money is being used to promote Obama.
Second, it’s just another manifestation of the blind, unquestioning and unrealistic worship of Obama that is so prevalent among his followers. If these young men’s ability to do things in life is dependent on Obama, what will they do when he loses? Even worse for them, what will they do when he wins and pays no more attention to their needs than he did to Rezko’s tenants.
The worst thing that could happen to the Democratic Party, black politicians and the black community in general is for Obama to become President. He’ll be even more incompetent than Bush; this country will go totally off the rails under his lack of leadership; and those groups will have frittered away every bit of integrity, credibility and good will they ever had by putting the unqualified Obama in over more worthy candidates.
