A news story on a Fox Affiliate here
http://www.myfoxkc.com/myfox/pages/News ... geId=3.2.1
A teacher was suspended for releasing the video. You can still access the video at the story. I found the story on Drudge.

You missed it Rambo - Jinger's link is more up to date - if I would have waited a minute, I would have seen what was going on also.

yup, just saying it's already a thread a link for the news is a good point for context though.

The worst part, IMHO, is the chant of "Alpha Omega," but it is all downright scary Hitler-Youth-Style stuff.

Why was the teacher suspended? Is it against the rules to publish student work? or class activities.
These boys may have done this themselves, then it's freedom of expression (their expression scares me, but they are free to do it) if it's instructor taught, then I have a problem with it as it is biased, and they'd be welcome to suspend her for that, but for posting on youtube?
I think the school knows they've stepped over the line here, and are ashamed about it, and trying to hide it.

The article in the link above says in part:
Conservative morning Chris Stigall saw the video on the Drudge Report.
"This is an indoctrination. It's not a debate. It's not discussing relevant issues. It's not tit-for-tat," Stigall, with 710 KCMO Radio, said.
Stigall said his disapproval isn't because of Obama, but rather because where it took place.
"No public school could or should get away with such a thing," Stigall said.
Stigall said on Monday morning that the school's director called his show and acknowledged that the video was made on school grounds after class at a teacher sanctioned event.

Is it so bad for young black men to draw inspiration from Obama? I didn't watch the whole video but at least in the first part, it seems like that's what the exercise is about.

Is it bad to have inspiration that makes you run out and buy camos and combat boots!??
Imagine the Furor if a group of white kids did this for Palin.
Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews would be chewing on their desks and frothing at the mouth.
Katie Couric would be leading every night of the evening news with Klan photos as the backgroud while the video played picture in picture (She's already said Obama has to have police escorts BECAUSE of Palins comments about him--Apparantly a guy running for President has never had to have one before)
