Students Instructed to Chant "I Am an Obama Scholar" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, June 13, 2010, 12:27 PM
What is with these leftists?
Students are directed to chant “I am an Obama scholar.”
From Tom Ficklin in New Haven
Via P/Oed Patriot:
Obviously, that separation of church and state rule only applies to Christianity.
Praising their demagogue Obama is OK.
For I, am an Obama scholar.
An Obama scholar.
And I will strive to be.
Outstanding. Brilliant.
I will achieve. I will be motivated with a positive attitude.
Bill Hennessey added this in the comments:
Quick quiz: name five countries, past or present, where the youths were required to chant praises to their omnipotent ruler? Any five. Then add together the number of innocent people those regimes slaughtered for political expediency.
More… Left Coast Rebel has more on Tom Ficklin and the “Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party” he represents.

Learning something in school = bad
Praising a leader = good
Hmmm, I’ve seen that before. In SPain under Franco. In Italy under Little Benito. In Germany under Adolf. In the USSR under any of their leaders. In China. In North Korea. In Cuba. In Venezuela. To make it short: in countries that were anything but free and democratic.

I am an Obama scholar.
There are 57 states in the union.
I will smoke weed all during college, grad school and beyond.
I will blame America for all the world’s ills.
I will follow the marxist-socialist-jihad past.
I will become a secret jihadist agent against America.
I will have all my term papers ghost written….

Chisum, 0-man only WISHES that he had a bod like that!
Ed commented:
Min 5.54 Chocolate Legs ????? Lol
rabidfox commented:
What I don’t understand about that figure, Chisum, is why they’re showing 0bama trying to have a BM.
iconoclast commented:
I dunno. While the one guy (who seemed like he is a reverend of some sort) used Obama’s name in a portion of his chanting, the rest of his little chant was fine. It won’t have much effect, but it was fine nonetheless.
The complete focus on black kids was a little more creepy–did they create a class with just black kids? And the “black quarterback syndrome” might just have likely been called “the Catholic President syndrome” since many were very concerned that Kennedy might answer to the Pope instead of to the people.
Waiting to Retire commented:
Captain KickAss Action Figure?? Yep, that’s him…….he still has no balls!

btw, those kids don’t seem too enthusiastic, i feel sorry for them, they
are being forcibly fed garbage, in essence, a captured audience being brainwashed by a misogynist racist bigot..
Jackie Robinson is rolling over in his grave.. *sigh*

Sheila commented:
Why the surprise/dismay? It’s merely the latest cohorts preparing to join Obama’s brownshirts to enforce his planned declaration of martial law.
Sickofobama commented:
I bet those kids don’t even know what a scholar is.
It should be a crime to force kids to say something for the sake of the teachers.
Sick.
Moright commented:
What a disservice they are doing to these kids. The “woe is me” litany of how many ways that life stinks is such old news. Newsflash: life is hard. Guess what? Us white people have it tough too, and always have so just get over yourselves. The Obama chant thing is just creepy and oppressive. Cute kids -too bad this is the “leadership” they face.
Another newsflash: the enemy isn’t within, guys.
kato commented:
Yeah, there’s no problem with public education in this country. Give those union slugs a few billion more dollars. Great job. I bet they got one of those professors of black studies at Yale to write those lyrics. Or are they from Maya Angelou?
justasimplepatriot commented:
Now all we have to do is redefine “Outstanding, Brilliant and Achievement”. Can you say – showing up?
Another stellar accomplishment for Obama.

School Indoctrination is an Essential Part of Any Communism Transition and there’s A LOT going on now:

Robespierres Id commented:
Those “Obama Scholars” are heading out into the Obama recession caused by clueless Obamanomics and will be facing an unemployment rate for young african american men that is in the 50% range.
Wonder if they’d vote for Obama in 2012?…
OxyCon commented:
I liked the “Chocolate Leg Syndrome” guy. I thought he gave the boys a positive message.
Andreas K. commented:
iconoclast, it’s t he context that matters.
“For I, am an Obama scholar.
An Obama scholar.
And I will strive to be.
Outstanding. Brilliant.
I will achieve. I will be motivated with a positive attitude.”
They want to be as brilliant and outstanding as Obama. Hmm… ok… and where is the bugger outstanding and brilliant?
They want to be like him. Racist, Marxist buggers. Great.

Nobel Peace Prize not too far behind…

gawntrail commented:
Yeah, what gives with the sycophantic behaviors and encouraging it from others? What happened to sticking it to the man and raging against the machine?
Richard bagg commented:
Why is it that so many black educators push this garbage in our schools. Obama is an affirmative action by product, has never improved the life of anyone but himself and that black studies affirmative action teacher chanting in class to a group of mindless wonders is doing nothing but making the world a much duller place.. Obama is a moron, and is married to the missing link.
iconoclast commented:
maybe. otoh it could just be that for these inner-city kids even Obama is a good example. After all, at least he tried to finish university–even if it isn’t clear that he ever really did finish. That alone would be an improvement over the prospects for many of those kids.
I just didn’t feel like focusing all that much on a single refrain in a much longer (and laudable) call-response for these kids. Not that they were paying much attention to any of it.
Joanne commented:
Obama is a scholar – prove it.
Viva commented:
Unbelievable. This is allowed and tolerated but if the name Jesus is mentioned…..
Remember all of this nonsense in November!
Support Arizona!

The Obama chant is fine with me as long as half the class gets to sing at the same time “Oh i’d love to be an Oscar Mayer Weiner”…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNddW2xmZp8
Oscar commented:
That was 17 minutes that the kids weren’t learning how to read, write, or do math.
averagemelon commented:
I wonder how they would feel if this was a roomful of all-white boys chanting about…well, anything but a black president?
This country is being racially divided by the blacks. How are white people supposed to trust blacks when this kind of crap is going on at our schools?
Auntie Em commented:
This is sick!
kansas commented:
For I, am an Obama scholar.
An Obama scholar.
And I will strive to be.
Outstanding in my own mind. Brilliant in my ability to deceive.I will achieve as far as you know, just try to get my records.
tj commented:
Yes they are Obie scholars.. they want to be awarded a degree without attending the school or doing the work!!!
57th AES commented:
No amount of chanting will prevent these young black people from being featured prominently on the pages of thugreport.com down the road or years from now.
It’s a new America. Celebrate diversity don’t ya know?
jimbob2000 commented:
He didn’t mention scientist or engineer. What’s up with that?
TJ commented:
There’s something wrong with black kids being encouraged to look upon the first black President of the United States as an inspirational figure?
jakee308 commented:
Anyone else reminded of the chant in The Legend of the Seeker (also known as the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind)?

greenfairie commented:
An Obama scholar would occasionally show up for class in between rounds of golf, jetting off on vacations, fabulous swanky parties, and collecting awards he didn’t earn. William Ayers would write his papers for him and oral reports would be given with a teleprompter. He will be given an A and promoted to the next grade anyway, and his transcripts won’t be made public.
Lennie commented:
What school is this from?
ReaganRevolution commented:
Children should be taught to sing praises to Ronaldus Maximus instead.
Snidely Whiplash commented:
Geez. That’s bit much. Almost as crazy as this one:

CLee commented:
ReaganRevolution,
Why would they praise somebody that armed terrorists, tripled the deficit, caused unemployment to skyrocket to 10.7%, and implemented the largest tax hike in American history? Ohhhh…you believe in the “Hannitized” version of Reagan, right? Got it.
concerned commented:
MO BOE Adopted Common Core on Tuesday – with reportedly 2/3 buy-in from local school boards. Now they’re positioned to “compete” for Race to the Top $$’s.
After contacting many legislators over many months, one reported that
“This is all being handled on the bureaucratic level. This program is designed so that the power to make all of these decisions is concentrated where there no legislative oversight or accountability to the General Assembly. Contacting your legislators won’t help, and I will never have the opportunity to vote on this proposal.”
I realize that education isn’t always “big news” but this is about our representative form of government – the foundation of America!
There’s more public info posted on my site (journal) PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DISTRIBUTE.
MikeFromTexas commented:
OK, I know Cat is baiting us now. In fact, every one of her responses have tried to direct this toward race, yet none of my comments even discussed what color the students or teachers where. (Ken did write ‘tribal’, which though is reasonable when discussing chants, is open for attack by baiters)
So, you want the whole story. Here you go Lincoln Basset Elementary is part of New Haven Public Schools. These schools receive substantial resources by a group called the NHPS Foundation (http://www.nhps.net/nhpsfound) . This foundation is led by Patricia A. DeMaio, which I found from the ‘who we are’ tab of the link given. I then googled her name and found this http://newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/obamagala_lifts_movers_shakers_inhibitions/ , where Mrs. DeMaio posted on her joy of said fundraiser. Here is the first paragraph:
The Colón sisters joined salsa dancers on a new stage, and a veteran vote-puller donned a top hat, as Democrats flooded to the Omni to celebrate the inauguration of their new president. Hill Alderwoman Dolores Colón and her sister, Amelia (in video; click the play arrow) were among nearly 1,000 people who showed up at the downtown hotel Tuesday night for an inaugural ball, hours after Barack Obama took the oath of office. The event was a fundraiser for the New Haven Public School Foundation.
So the NHPS have received funds from the powerful democrats (i.e. Democratic party activist Brian McGrath) at this party and now the school kids they teach are chanting Obama… I did not clip this anywhere, I tracked it down myself.
So to summarize
Students were from Lincoln Basset Elementary, a part of the New Haven Public Schools (NHPS)
NHPS foundation supports these schools and is led by Patricia A. DeMaio
http://www.nhps.net/nhpsfound
NHPS foundation has received funds from activist Brian McGrath, a powerful local democrat ‘vote puller’ (as stated in the article)

The students are now all required to repeat a nice motivational chant about success….. and the great Obama.
