School Apologizes for Propagandizing Students to Love Obama

September 30th, 2013

“He’s not a king. He’s the president. He serves us.”

(AdanSalazar) – A Wisconsin school is accused of employing 1940s-style German propaganda tactics after it played a video of celebrities proselytizing an intense love for the state, and in particular the Obama Administration, at a school assembly

Hudson School District apologizes for 'I Pledge' video - KMSP-TV

During the Hudson School District’s Peace One Day event – an occasion meant to build peace awareness and promote the notion of global unity – the school played a YouTube video from Oprah Winfrey’s “I Pledge” campaign launched soon after President Obama took office.

The video shows actors Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Alyssa Milano, P Diddy and Cameron Diaz, to name a few, pledging to make the world a better place through the adjustment of certain behaviors.

But it was the video’s overarching political thrust that had parents, students and faculty upset.



At one point in the video, Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis says, “I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama,” and at the end of the video, Demi Moore states, “I pledge to be a servant to our president…”

“It looks a little bit 1940s Germany,” one person told a KMSP reporter during a man-on-the-street interview.

The reporter explained to another person that “in other words, we pledge to our country, to our flag, but we don’t pledge our allegiance to the man, the president. It’s like, he’s not a king. He’s the president. He serves us.”

After outrage, the school was forced to issue some apologies saying the district is non-partisan and didn’t mean to promote allegiance to Obama.

In a lengthy written notice, the school’s superintendent said the video was “a mistake” and said they wouldn’t be using it again.

“The reason the video was used was to show students small ways to make a difference in their communities,” the school’s apology says. “Unfortunately, the video also had a political slant. The district is non-partisan and does not endorse the political messages found in this video.”

According to KMSP, the principal also made an intercom announcement to the school apologizing “for any part of the video that was offensive.”

“The video conveyed a message that people serve the presidency when in fact our elected officials serve the people. We respect the Office of the President of the United States but like all of our other elected officials, that office serves each of us as well,” the school’s principal, Dan Koch, reportedly announced.

In the past, we have documented how Obama’s image in the mind of children has been elevated to a “messianic” cult-like status, promulgated through public schools used as indoctrination facilities.
 

I feel sick :(

It's all coming up :(

Hup! Hup! Hourack!!!!
 

Glad that parents, teachers and students were standing up and voicing opposition to the propaganda.

"After outrage, the school was forced to issue some apologies saying the district is non-partisan and didn’t mean to promote allegiance to Obama." BS! They knew damned well they were promoting obummer! No difference than forcing a kid to go apologize for stealing a candy bar, except in this case, nobody is learning a lesson of what not to do.
 

I would have walked out. That is if I wasn't skipping school that day anyway.
 

wow...just like when Roosevelt, Kennedy or Regan were in office...

but it is such an affront with obama

Umm, I don't remember this crap happening when Reagan was in office. Do you have any incidences to use for examples?

The district can apologize all they want. Fact is once they show this trash to the kids the damage is done. Whatever the length of the video compared to a ten second apology...mission accomplished.:banghead:
