Pledge To Be a Servant To Obama?

"Pledge" to be a servant to Barrack Obama?

I realize now when this video was made and why - it was made by Demi Moore and other celebrities to celebrate Inauguration Day.

Why did it end up being shown at school? How did that happen?

Parents upset over 'leftist propaganda' video
Education » Principal apologizes for showing 'I Pledge' to students.

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 evening were unsuccessful.

Saw this. If this doesnt smack of Nazi propaganda films or any dictatorship in the last century, I don't know what does. Put in feel good things to get people on your side then throw in the "I pledge to Barack Obama" by Anthony Keetus kissing his byceps. Then fade out into the face of the dictator.

What is going on in this country? Is this living history? Is this how Mussollini and Hitler came to power?

In answer to your query insein, Yes this is how they came to power. We are about to relive history. And once again it will have to be America that comes to the rescue. The fighting will be inside this country as Americans take it back.

I pledge to use as much energy as 10 people.

I pledge to drink only half a bottle of water before throwing it away and getting another.

I pledge to leave my car running in the driveway for hours on end.

And I pledge to stop contibuting to Hollywood, by not going to movies or watching TV shows.

Anyone else have anything to add?

Godless people yearn for God. They find and create their gods. Obama is a god to some. To many.
