Any opinions on this song?

Is it right or wrong good or bad....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDDCRe_QzuM

The parents were not told there children were made to sing this song.  Nor were they notified that it was to be put up on youtube.

Thoughts?

I was listening to Laura Ingram about this song. It is kind of creepy. I don't think children should be used for a political message. If kids would have been used to sing songs in support of Bush and the war, parents would have been outraged. Politics should stay out of the classroom. Patriotic songs are alright. Things that express pride in our country, that's ok with me. This I think is wrong. Just my opinion. Lately it seems that if you don't agree with the Obama administation you are a racist.

The whole thing is shocking.

The teachers should be fired over this on several grounds.

1.  Indoctrination in a public school.
2.  Having children do this without parents being informed or their consent.
3.  Most of all letting these children be posted on the net without parental consent.

My thoughts are that I like the song, the school should have asked the parents

Oh did you want political views also??

I can't hear it becasue my speakers don't worjk.  But I can imagine.  It reminds me a bit of what Mao Tse Tung did in China.... not so good.
