A local school put on a 26 minute show months ago in which they celebrate the accomplishments of America’s finest.  A clip was posted to YouTube resulting in hysterical responses from anti-Obama radicals.  City Councilman Carl Mumpower jumped into the fray, comparing schoolteachers to Nazis.

FoxCarolina reports “Jan Blunt with the Buncombe County School district said that the program included skits and music about people like George Washington, Clara Bartan and Amelia Earhart. The program also included a chant about then newly-elected President Barack Obama.

During that skit, the children talk about the importance of education and making America better. They also chant things like “change has come” and “yes we can.”

Blunt said that many of those parents, who she said gave a standing ovation at the end of the program, are now upset that their kids have been put on YouTube. She said that they feel their kids were not being indoctrinated.

“It’s unfortunate, I think, when these children, who are very patriotic and love America, want to succeed and are trying to encourage themselves to do well, are being made to be political pawn for someone else’s agenda,” Blunt said. “They did not have an agenda. The teachers didn’t have an agenda. They were celebrating an accomplishment, which is the first African-American president of our country.”

However, Asheville City Councilman Carl Mumpower, compares the chants to the programming of children in Nazi Germany.

“That event was about chanting campaign slogans,” Mumpower said. “There is a difference, a big difference. That is ritual behavior and that’s how you plug things into kids’ heads. I’ll come right out and say it. That’s exactly how the Hitler youth were programed prior to World War II.”

Blunt said that some of the parents of the students seen in the video are fearing for the safety of their children. She said that some of the teachers and parents have received hundreds of threatening e-mails and phone calls from people who call the program indoctrination.

The Citizen-Times reported “Some callers issued death threats, accusing the school of brainwashing students, schools spokeswoman Jan Blunt said.”
