Glennbeckians protest outside school full of kindergartners because they didn't like Obama song
When a group of conservatives -- angered by a video showing kindergartners singing a song praising President Obama -- announced last week that they'd be protesting outside a Burlington Township, N.J., school today, school officials asked them to reconsider, since the school -- which houses kindergartners to second-graders -- would be in session:
The planned rally has school district officials planning to beef up security at the B. Bernice Young School in Burlington Township, which houses kindergartners through second-graders.
The song drew national attention last month after a video of the performance was posted on YouTube. Conservatives say it shows how schoolchildren are being indoctrinated to idolize Obama, allegations school officials have denied.
The Obama song initially was performed during a Black History Month assembly in February and was repeated in March when author Charisse Carney-Nunes, who wrote the children's book "I Am Barack Obama," visited the school.
Someone apparently with Carney-Nunes videotaped that performance and posted it at the author's Web site without the approval of school officials. A copy of that video appeared in September on YouTube, titled "School Kids Taught to Praise Obama."
Citing concerns for the safety of students and staff, Superintendent Christopher Manno has asked organizers to reconsider the protest because classes will be held that day. Manno said protesters will not be allowed on school property and additional district staffers will be on hand.
The protesters refused, of course, to reconsider:
Bill Haney, a rally organizer, said members of several groups would take part in the protest, although it was not clear Sunday how many people would be involved.
"Consider this a protest to squelch this trend to politicize our youth," organizers said in a prepared statement. "We are supporting the constitutional rights of our children and protest against the progressive social agenda promoted by the New Jersey Education Association and the National Education Association."
So there they were today, frightening children and their parents needlessly. Of course, rather than harass schoolkids, these protesters would have been more effective if they had gone, say, to a school-board meeting where decisions like these are dealt with.
At least one of the parents whose 7-year-old daughter was in the video spoke to Fox reporter Laura Ingle at the scene, and relayed her thoughts in a brief snippet:
My child's image has been hijacked, to produce -- I'm sorry, to promote a political agenda.
Now, Ingle makes this sound as if the parent is concerned about the school "indoctrinating" her child, which was what the protesters were there about. But what's clear from reading news accounts -- as well as Ingle's own reportage -- is that the parents were upset that the right-wingers had transformed a harmless school song into a cause celebre promoting the right-wing anti-Obama agenda.
This cropped up in local news accounts too:
The school district, in a statement, said that it "does not believe that protesting in front of an elementary school in session with four to seven year old children is appropriate."
The statement says that on Oct. 8, Manno contacted one of the protest's organizers personally and offered to meet with this person, who declined to meet. "It is unfortunate," the statement continued, "that an innocent, well-intentioned classroom activity by a well-respected teacher has become the object of so much debate."
Well, who were these protesters? Local parents upset with the district? -- You know, people who actually have something at stake with the conduct of their local schools?
Erm, largely no. The Courier-Post was only able to find one local couple who actually had a child at the school among the protesters (and they were more concerned with the video's release than with its content). According to the NY Daily News, they were a bunch of Glennbeckians who arrived at the school from elsewhere:
Haney's group, the 912 Project Burlington Group, is an offshoot [of] the national 912 Project founded by conservative radio and TV host Glenn Beck.
Haney said he hopes the rally will force the reassignment of school principal Denise King and will result in a reprimand of Schools Superintendent Christopher Manno by the state Board of Education.
Classy bunch, these folks.
Well, it's a cult. Cut from the same cloth as the Westboro Baptist Church.
So this is pretty much what we can expect.
now, stop giving into their nonsense or continue the trend this society is going in. If you think the wrong thoughts, according to people who can't think, you will be fired, attacked and bullied. Shouldn’t these people make a convincing argument defending and articulating their viewpoints before they attack others for not thinking like them? Guess not.
America really is a basket case. If you travel around the developing or underdeveloped world, people who are that ignorant (not derogatory, they simply don't know much about these complex issues) usually are pretty humble. They do their jobs and try to provide for their families. If they get involved politically it is for real reasons that effect them. In America you have an artificially high amount of wealth and you have people who don't know jack crap about the world, who would struggle just to survive in most countries, screaming their ignorance to those around them based on nonsense. They usually protect the very people harming them and use nonsense reasoning to justify it, more than anything because it's an abstraction to them. They're ignorant and yet, unlike most of the world like them, it doesn't matter. They still have an XBox and a flat screen TV, so why bother understanding these issues? If anything is wrong just listen to people who tell you what you want to hear. Never, ever change or question your basic precepts. And so here we are, and they dominate our lives. Pathetic. It's sad that the real left hasn't made inroads in the States in this disaster that the capitalists have made.
Anyone giving odds that at least one protester will be carrying a firearm on display. And yes New Jersey is a Licensed Open Carry state.
And why isn't a progressive parent from that school filing a class action suit against FOX for openly displaying the faces of the children on air?
And why isn't a progressive parent from that school filing a class action suit against FOX for openly displaying the faces of the children on air?
Because there is nothing illegal in openly displaying faces of children on air. You know we do have a First Amendment in this country which allows news media, even biased, disreputable news media like Fox News, to air newsworth video.
Oh! Nothing in the First Amendment about that.
Stressing out kids is abuse!
Oh! Nothing in the First Amendment about that.
Stressing out kids is abuse!
Nonsense. Fox has every right to air the video. First Amendment protects airing of videos even if you or I disagree with the content or the commentary. The fact that a kid may or may not be stressed out doesn't mean that the First Amendment is suspended. (Look at every First Amendment case ever decided if you think otherwise)
infringement if they use the images of kids without the consent of their legal guardians.
It is up to the judge to decide if the story had an actual basis for using the images (informative), or if they were using them as threats/libel, in which case it is not a fair use nor protected speech.
There is a delicate balance between freedom of expression, and privacy rights. In this case, I would be hard pressed to consider using the faces of children in such an inflammatory fashion to be even remotely protected under free speech.
I'd say the parents should sue FOX for copyright infringement, and use the same draconian laws FOX et al shovelled down our throats to protect their sacrosanct content. That would be poetic justice of the best kind, me thinks.
Actually, because they use the kids images, I would say this goes beyond the normal copyright laws.
It's taking non-public figures and turning them into public figures, and creating a violent atmosphere they could potentially suffer for since their visages are now known.
It is essentially endangering kids.

I don't trust these hellhounds around those children. Just the fact that they decide to hover around them to make their psychotic little political points worries me.
You just don't f**k with little kids! Out of all the garbage that comes forth from conservatism, this one makes my blood boil the hottest.
"The greatest tyranny is censoring information in order to be better able to control people." - Cristina Saralegui
I'd hardly think it would win, mostly because someone who was with the a guest during the singing event taped the children and posted it on YouTube which is presumably where Fox got their content.
If anyone should be sued it should be the author's cohort who made video of the children, without their guardian's consent and then, again without proper consent, posted it on a publically viewed website.
Fox, could argue that once it was out in public it was free for use until the someone were to challenge such use. The only enforcement for Fox might be to cease using the video. Period.
When going up against a money pit like a major news organization, you'd better make sure your argument can stick.
There could be a cross-suit with Youtube.
One, they probably have deep pockets, and two they have disregarded cyberstalking laws for too long.

to harrassing kindergartners. Sweet.
Maybe for their next trick they can wake babies from their naps.
Or maybe kick some kittens.
It would be too bad if some irate parent beat the crap out of some of these losers...
This goes to show how dangerous these sick bigots are. These Teabag Terrorists will use violence, fear and lies to promote their conservative political agenda. We are very lucky a Glennbeckian didn't blow himself up killing many of the children.
Why don't they come on the southside of Chicago or Compton CA? Black people won't take this bigoted crap when it comes to their kids. These people think they are in the 60's. They don't have a clue. Black people are silent, not because they're afraid, but because they know God has control and no weapon formed against Barack will prosper. His word says, I will hide thee in times of trouble. Be very careful Beckians,Be very careful what you do to the least of these.
First off what constitutional rights exactly are they supporting? Secondly this idiots care about as much about those kid's actual constitutional rights as much as they care about about any part of America that's not a part of their deluded, rightwing, conspiratorial fantasies.
Sadly, you are right.
And all of these “protestors” would have a more convincing argument if they reacted the same under Bush. In fact, most of the tea-baggers and GlenBeckians have some good arguments: taxes, government waste, media influence, etc. The problem is, NONE of them said a word when “their” guy was in power (when the most egregious of the offending abuses took place). That being the case, NONE of their complaints mean ANYTHING other than “We Don’t Like Obama”. THAT is politicization. Ironically – THAT is what they think they are protesting.
I would like to point this fact out to most of these vocal misfits. I would like to say “Welcome to the party!” But they don’t care to hear about the use of taxes, the methods of government waste, the origins of media influence and et cetera. They just want to yell “WE DON’T LIKE OBAMA”.
They are sheep.
No they are not sheep. The real problem IMHO is that they cannot wrap their minds around a black man governing this country. If you think there is nothing to what I just put down, just watch the planned protests and see how many of those protesters are anything other than white middle-age people.
It would be naive of me to think that bigotry were not a part of the problem. Not that it helps any, but I don’t think that bigotry is the only problem.
Anyone remember those "Jesus Camps" (a documentary) during Bush's terms? Where the kids prayed in front of a cardboard cut-out of Bush.
just sayin'
Sure didn't see any protests over that
why aren't they supporting the shocking restrictions on their kids' constitutional rights to free speech or privacy once they enter their public school?
Conservatives: Don't you dare allow kids to sing a song in praise of our first Black president during Black History Month but I'm cool with a young girl getting strip searched for being rumoured to have over-the-counter pain relief pills.
I can't abide how the female news reader lays out the basic story, states that conservatives found offense, and then simply says "now the school denies that" and goes to the video.
Wouldn't a responsible journalist lay out the actual facts and WHY the school denies the veracity of the conservative reaction?
Instead, it's a five minute fluff piece for morons who inexplicably find it offensive that schoolkids would sing songs celebrating our first Black president during Black History Month.
And how do they wrap it up? "Hmmm - my guess is they're not going to be singing songs like that at that school anytime soon." Yea, the morons won!
notice how they subtly conflate the concerns of the conservatives with those of the parents who are upset not about the singing but the fact that their kids' images were used without permission? As if these two groups are aligned? Ridiculous sham journalism.
Don't give a shit about you or your kids they just want everything their way reguardless who gets hurt in the process.
There is only one conclusion that can be drawn from their behavior.
republicanism is a mental illness!
A commenter on another website used that term to refer to these idiots in regards to this story. I just had to pass it along. From now on, I'll refer to the Glennbeckians as Beckerwoods.

"Parachutes are allowed in checked or carry-on baggage, but may not be worn in flight."
---Southwest Airlines
referred to lower ranking whites as "peckerwoods", its a derogatory term similar to "white trash".
There's an old slave song that was sung in the fields to make fun of the lower whites that they often had to compete with, "I'd rather be a n***** than poor white trash."
Of course, this class division was encouraged by the slaveholders. The threat of lower/impoverished whites cavorting with slaves to foment plantation rebellion was real and often successful.
Its important to understand the culture of slavery as the core elements of its social system is firmly ingrained in our culture today.
"There's an old slave song that was sung in the fields to make fun of the lower whites that they [the slaves I presume} often had to compete with..."
Would you know the name of that song? or where you heard about it? I understand the point you were making but you misspoke when you claim that black slaves were concerned about competing with "peckerwoods". It was the reverse.
book, "Roll Jordon Roll" a well respected, highly researched book on the construct of racism. Black slaves and lower whites did in fact compete for resources. Not only is the author's research explicit in that, its evident for anyone who has lived anywhere near the south say, twenty years ago and back.
Also refer to the slave stories, a compendium of which was put together in print not too long ago. I have the copy in my library but can't remember the name of it right now. The stories were catalogued during the thirties from interviews of former slaves.
I say again, its important for people today to understand how the control of vital resources by a few powerful land owners managed to control the social system of the south and how such practices were also used in the north.
It is integral in our culture and prevails today and is cloaked with racism, classism and sexism, all managing to marginalize a majority of people against eachother for the good of the few.
Children go to school to learn not be distracted. These children did not make the decision to sing this song, and apparently THE parents of these kids are SPEAKING for THEIR children by allowing their kids to participate.
The Glennbeckians protesting the school in this manner are essentially saying their opinion should matter over the opinion of the parents of these children. Wonder if they would have a problem if I showed up at their child's school protesting bad parenting? After all, the children of these protesters can't help who their parents are, but I have the right to protest them anyway, right?
I bet most of the protesters don't even have children. Or if they do have children, most of them are probably home schooled so they can be in charge of their indoctrination.
is the wingnuttia's absolute disdain and disregard for education. They'd rather distract and terrorize a bunch of elementary school children and disrupt their education, disrespect the teachers and generally disrespect the school, because well "who needs them thar edumakashun when you gots fine mens like Beck to tell yoo what yoo needs to noo?"

This demonstrates what I was saying above. If these same sheeple were protesting BOTH this embarrassment AND the "mmmm mmmmm mmm", they would have a better argument. I doubt ANY of them said a word about Bush's Jesus Camp.
So now, we have the Uber-patriots harrassing and intimidating five year olds for singing songs of which they don't approve. So much for "free speech". This is what they do to "take back their country", strong arm babies, such courage!
Of course, the lesson being taught here to these tots is, "keep your fucking mouths shut". This would be hysterically funny in its absurd pettiness and viciousness were it not directed at helpless children.
But that's how the Taliban operates, terrorize them while they're young. Are you getting it people? none of us, not the oldest senior or tiniest child are safe from these lunatic brownshirts. Time to stand up to them.

I don't know about you, but if I was a child in that school with all that yelling goin on outside. It would have scared the crap out of me.
This will backfire on these clowns.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
Holding a sign that read "These Men Can't Get Erections" behind all the tea baggers. The cops threatened to put me in the squad car so I left. Seems like I was speaking the truth really. One guy was just shouting about god while holding the bible open to a random page. The smell of old people was terrible. I really wanted to rumble with them, but it seemed mostly sad. I mean kicking a grandpa's ass is no sport at all.
On a plus side people from the school liked my sign. Not the cops. They have no sense of humor. Fascist socialists.
Do you really think the people from the school liked your sign? I admit it is funny, but loses all humor knowing that children in that school might be seeing that sign too.

Children deserve to be children. We owe them that much.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
basic human physiology? It takes literally 5 minutes to explain a little kid what an erection is.
I grew up in Western Europe, so I don't see what the deal is when it comes to use the proper word for a term pertaining to the human body.
I certainly find someone holding the erection sign to be much less out of place than a mob trying to bully a bunch of six years olds.

These wastes of skin, oxygen and valuable resources need to (in the words of their repub leaders and adherents) 'get a job'.

These swine are loud, repugnant, and as arrogant as they come.

Erections is not a bad word. These old goons were holding signs that said "No Indoctrination" and quoting from Leviticus. I wish I could have run them over with my car. Because that's what Jesus would do: protest school children singing.

That mother is going to be even more upset when she sees that Fox News has hijacked HER image to promote their political agenda.
It's obvious from that little clip that she wasn't objecting to the song her child sang, but to the people who are using her child's image to promote their agenda. In other words, the Right, Glenn Beck and Fox News.
If I were a taxpaying parent in that school district, and the district had to employ more security and staffers to keep the protestors away from the school while it is in session, I would be at the next district board meeting screaming at the administrators to send the bill for the security to Glenn Beck and each one of the disrupting protestors.
If they want to stand out there costing me tax money, bill 'em for the trouble they caused.

Did they bring their aborted fetus and "God Hates Fags" signs with them?
Of course they did. Those were saved for the cross burning party later that evening though.
American mothers and fathers, preachers, and politicians and indeed all decent Americans must say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! These pathological followers of corporate sponsored protests and television celebrities of the GOP right must be shamed back into the gutter where they wallow in their hate. Have parents lost their patriotism, their concern for their children? Is this the America that you will leave behind for your children. An America where lying, hateful, bigotted and including racists (yes racists, face it. They are among the GOP base in large numbers, do not ignore this any longer).The outrage has to come not from a grassroot movement; but, from the heart of every parent out there, every American out there. Speak out, write letters, ask your preachers to speak out against it, hold meeting, talk to politicians, write letters to the editor, start groups. Do something for your children. Do something for America.
So where's all the exclusive video that Fox took of these sick-os screaming at schoolchildren if it got so lively this morning as the reporter said? I thought Fox was a news channel. Are they protecting the lunatic teabaggers because the video would be too damning of them??? C'mon Fox, if you were there you had cameras rolling and if it got so lively why wouldn't you be showing it? Don't want us to see the right wing bullies at their worst?
I wish the parents of the children had been there with cameras asking "Why are you here harrassing my child?"
This was a huge event , geese there must have been twenty morons there demonstrating !

I'm pretty sure we still have more rationale sane people in this country who will look on this kind of behavior with total disgust.
because they continually neglect to tell the contexts of the children's singing - during a Black History Month assembly! The other issue is why there is focus on this one school. You would think that this is would be happening all over the country for these bastards to even claim there is "indoctrination" going on. I hate these people.
I've only tried a couple of sites, because there's a lot of garbage out there, but I'm under the impression that the Burlington school district in New Jersey is proportionally largely black, and as one site put it, "self-hating whites."
But couldn't we easily consider the shw putdown to be another version of this accusation, race traitor?

I say let's teach the little kiddies this song:

Diabolus est Deus Inversus
And I think the kiddies should be forced every morning to stand to attention to this:

I guess these nutbags thought it was OK for kids in Louisiana to sing their praises to Bush after Katrina.
You meant kindergartEners, right?
All the teabagging lunatics have left is to terrorize kindergartners. They should be soooo proud of the absolute stupidity of the Reslug base.
I agree that are all totally useless and worthless to this earth.
I'm generally a peaceful person, but have to agree.
Next thing, we can expect this crazy remnant of what the Neocon Republicans and FOX unleashed to be breaking and ransacking kindergartens?
... when you can't rub enough brain cells together in order to do the initial "considering".
Wouldn't surprise me if they brought a few assault rifles. You know, to exercise their Second Amendment right to terrorize children.
Notice how fox didn't show the actual protest? That's because there were probably 5 people in the "crowd". yeah they are dispicable dickheads, but they are such a small percentage of the population.
