Would you want to see this around /any/ presidential campaign? Very strange indeed.

You really don't have anything better to do?

Anyone with half a lick of sense can tell these are phoney and doctored. I can't believe you're trying to stir up political distrust with the help of lame YouTube videos.

I want my 10 minutes back.

It's indoctrination. Whether or not it's bad depends on the doctrine. The kids certainly aren't able to judge for themselves.

If he did it while on school time using school resources, i'd agree.

but if he did it on his own time, meaning at his own place, using his own resources.. then the principal is in no position to tell him what he can do.

Maybe you missed it but this looked like a high school fraternity (yes.. part of the idea behind a frat is to dress alike), but kids that age can judge for themselves about a few things. Kids that age aren't as dumb as you think they are.


addendum: found this regarding the video. http://www.americanjourneyblog.com/2008 ... obama.html

If he got together with the parents, outside of school, and organized it with them, then I think the principle would have nothing to say about it--the parents' wishes should override the principle. Otherwise I would say he is still responsible to the school as being in a position of educator to the kids who are sent there.

I was referring primarily to the second video of the younger students. As for the high-schoolers that you seem to be identifying so closely with (;)), they are still young enough to be inexperienced in life. It's not a matter of intelligence, they're simply not equipped to judge on such a weighty matter. It is entirely a matter of both maturity and experience. That's why we don't have young folks in high-school casting ballots. Something I'm sure some ultra-liberal wing-nuts wouldn't mind changing.

LOL.

well then, please tell me why there's such a thing as a student council and student government if they're too stupid to judge on 'such weighty matters'.

I don't think so. It's the only one I've seen, and they seem serious enough to me.
