PARENTS FIGHT BACK - AT 7:54 P.M. ET:  Did you ever think you'd see this in our country?  An elementary school in New Jersey has been indoctrinating kids to accept a "love Obama" mindset.  Fortunately, parents detected what was going on, and are fighting back.  You really must read this:

Parents of students at a New Jersey elementary school are up in arms after a class of young kids was videotaped being "brainwashed" into singing the praises of President Obama...

...Video of the students at the Burlington, N.J., school shows them singing songs overflowing with campaign slogans and praise for "Barack Hussein Obama," repeatedly chanting the president's name and celebrating his accomplishments, including his "great plans" to "make this country's economy No. 1 again."

One song that the children were taught quotes directly from the spiritual "Jesus Loves the Little Children," though Jesus' name is replaced with Obama's: "He said red, yellow, black or white/All are equal in his sight. Barack Hussein Obama."

For the actual lyrics to these "educational" songs, go here.

For the exciting video, go here.

The video has set off families in Burlington who said they were horrified that their children at the Kindergarten through Second Grade school were being "indoctrinated" to view the president like a cult figure.

"I'm stunned -- I can't believe it's our school," said Jim Pronchik, who told FOXNews.com his 8-year-old son Jimmy was one of the 18 students in the video. "We don't want to praise this guy like he's a god or an idol or a king or anything like that. That's the wrong message to be sending."

COMMENT:  The sad reality is that there are many teachers who see no problem with this.  They are taught in many teachers' colleges to have, as the current educational jargon goes, the right "inclinations."  In other words, they're taught a leftist party line vaguely defined as "social justice."  To people like this, it's entirely logical to sing songs of praise for dear leader.  Democratic traditions mean nothing.  These traditions, including the idea that leaders report to the people, not the other way around, are seen as the deceptions of the "oppressor."

We'll follow this.  And those of you who are parents of young children should exercise your citizenship rights and ask what is being taught at school.  You own those schools.
