Repeat after me, children: 'I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama'


Michelle Malkin points us to another story of student indoctrination by leftist drones. In Salt Lake City, parents are up in arms.

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...

...Gayle Ruzicka, president of conservative Utah Eagle Forum, said the video was blatantly political. She said other offensive pledges included, “I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama,” “I pledge allegiance to the funk, to the united funk of funkadelica,” and pledges to not use plastic grocery bags and not flush the toilet after urinating.

“It’s very inappropriate to show a radical, leftist propaganda piece that political to children,” Ruzicka said...

No more inappropriate than Obama's bizarre, post-election use of ubiquitous iconography... his collection of "fishy" information on citizens... his administration's insistence on student indoctrination by teachers and peers...

And Democrats claim there is no cult of personality?

Child, please.
