"Obama Youth" Teacher Suspended
Remember these guys?
You just know that at this moment, Barack Obama is fighting the overwhelming urge to funnel the teacher some misappropriated grant money.
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. Joyce McGautha, superintendent of the Urban Community Leadership Academy, a charter school for students in fifth through ninth grades in Kansas City, Mo., said that the video was probably taken last May during the Junior Fraternity's morning meeting at the school. 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.

They're not saying the teacher's name?
It might be Sister Soldier.

"a charter school for students in fifth through ninth grades in Kansas City, Mo"
A charter school? Hmmmm, if it were up to Barrack this school wouldn't even exist.

A sign of things to come if Senator Obama becomes our President.

Anybody remember that movie from the 80's "Soul Man" with C. Thomas Howell? I'm thinking of his going to meet with the black student union and he shows up wearing a beret and cammo. I have a feeling he would fit in with this crowd.

So, if Obama looses then these young men will be forced to become crack dealers?

They call that a "Junior Fraternity Regiment"?
So Obama's followers are putting together a Regiment, under the banner of a political candidate.
That's weird.

Does "charter school" in Missouri mean that it's taxpayer-funded or not?
Does Obama worship come under separation of church and state Constitutionally, so that it shouldn't be allowed in a school?

Will the teacher be in more trouble for putting the video on You Tube rather than the person who taught them this "routine"?

Say, that vid reminds me of some of the vids I saw on MEMRITV.com of hamas and hezbullah goons doing that stuff. Wonder if these kids had the same teacher.

"Does "charter school" in Missouri mean that it's taxpayer-funded or not?"
Yes. Charter schools in Kansas City, Missouri are tax payer funded 'alternative' schools, with specialized curriculum, that are part of the public (gub'mint) school system.
The KC, MO school district was part of the 1985 'judicial imperialism' of Judge Clark who took de facto control of the district and imposed a sweeping desegregation order on the district. By the time it was all over, $2,000,000,000.00 of state & local tax money had been confiscated and little, if any thing accomplished.
"And despite all the effort he had made to order the plan, fund the plan, and keep the plan on track--often in the face of intense opposition from the very people he was trying to help--the plan wasn't working. The number of white suburban students attracted to the district by all the new magnet schools was less than 10 percent of the number that Clark had expected. Year after year the test scores would come out, the achievement levels would be no higher than before, and the black-white gap (one-half a standard deviation on a standard bell curve) would be no smaller."
The state attorney general, Jay Nixon, complained of gross negligence, malfeasance, theft and lax accounting of millions of dollars under Clark's control.
"At one point, complained Nixon, 44 percent of the entire state budget for elementary and secondary education was going to just the 9 percent of the state's students who lived in Kansas City and St. Louis. Missouri was spending more on desegregation than it was spending on prisons, courts, the highway patrol, and the state fire marshal combined."
The KC school district is currently not state accredited, and has had 24 superintendents in 39 years. It is one of the worst districts in the nation thanks, in part, to a petulant & childish school board.

Hmmm. The mainstream media refuses to report any negatives for the most part, little kids sing his praises, teens in military chant about him, anyone who questions him is silenced by being labeled racist, no criticism is allowed of the Almighty Obama. How long before he's "Dear Leader"?

The MSM zero criticism policy of Obama reminds me of confederate Yankee's zero criticism policy of his practice of censoring fellow Republicans that he doesn't agree with. Watch how quickly this comment gets deleted.

Jim, I've been dumping "fellow Republicans" and "former lifelong Republicans" and other variations of script 27G for the better part of three days now. Most of them are hardcore Republicans, as they dangerously and without fail hail from the bluest of zip codes.
I'm just a fascist, I guess.

I am old enough to remember the movie reels in the theaters on Saturdays in the 50s showing the "Hitler Youth" and how they were programed for "the cause."
This scares me for this country. First the little kids singing his praises, and now these.
I still have enough faith in the average American to believe this man will not come into power in this country.

So a political candidate has a regiment, therefore CY did something wrong? Let's talk about the subject at hand.

I didn't the CY would practice extreme censorship either until one of my posts got deleted. Apparently Confederate Yankee doesn't believe Republicans live in blue states. Strange that his past (living in New York) is lost on him. I bet this post will be deleted since I am writing from the blue state of Kansas. What a joke. It really is shameful.

"Katherine," you're in Livingston, New Jersey, not Kansas.
Katherine is also "Jim Treacher" and "Candy."
These faux conservatives keep getting deleted and banned for one simple reason: I don't like sockpuppetry, or fraudulent identities.

It might be doublethink if the second one wasn't impersonating me. This is definitely the behavior of people who are confident in a big win this November.
Anyway, didn't realize you were dealing with a CCC ("Concerned Christian Conservative") infestation. Carry on, CY.

You're not being imprisoned for your views. (At least I don't think you are)
A lot of people have a pretty weak understanding of the First Amendment. CY can delete anything he sees fit(on his site), and is even kind to explain why.
He didn't take away your First Amendment. Don't be silly.
And speaking of not being silly. Heavy D and the Boys should be a tad less militant.

Thanks for the correction, CY.
I'll try this again:
"Kathrine" is clearly pretending to be someone she's not (and doing a pathetic job of it at that), but even sock puppets can accidentally make good points once in a while. Since when is it unheard of for "hardcore Republicans" to live in blue states? I suppose you'd think that I'm not capable of thinking intelligently and seeing through liberal bullPUCKY, just because I live in Massachusetts? You sound just like my obnoxious liberal neighbors.

For those astroturfers who are unclear about the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, let me explain.
First (no pun intended) of all, let us look at what the First Amendment actually says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or
of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition
the Government for a redress of grievances.
That's it. Short, sweet, and to the point.
Now, let's dissect some of those words.
First (again no pun intended) we note that the Amendment refers only to Congress, specifically prohibiting them from making laws that abridge (restrict) the freedom of speech.
Now, this may come as a shock to you astroturfers, but Bob Owens, a/k/a the Confederate Yankee, is not--I say again, not--Congress. Bob, as owner of this here establishment, has just as much right to control the content posted here as you have the right to control what people write on the walls of your house. Bob also has the same right to control who comes here as you have to control who comes into your house.
In short, screaming "First Amendment" is not only useless, but demonstrates quite clearly your lack of understanding of what the Constitution actually says.
Thank you for your attention, those of you who paid attention. Those of you who didn't, well, you now fully deserve all the ridicule you'll get.

It is truly amazing that so many have been motivated by this Obama charlatan. I have no problem with black kids aspiring to better lives...in fact I endorse it..but there are many more black role models who aren't socialist con men who are friendly with white-hating preachers, mobsters, communists and terrorists.
