YouTube video shows students singing Obama’s praises

  A national advocacy group, In God We Trust, blasted the B. Bernice Young Elementary School in Burlington, New Jersey, for having children sing a rap version of the hymn “Jesus Loves the Little Children” in which references to Jesus were replaced with the name of President Barack Obama.
  A video of children singing was recently posted on YouTube. The hymn was just one of several songs on the video praising Obama. School officials released a letter stating the activity was officially sanctioned. The activity took place in February, just after Obama’s inauguration.
  “What this school did with these children is deplorable,” said Bishop Council Nedd, chairman of In God We Trust. “It is bad enough that children are being forced to sing the praises of a politician, but to also take lyrics from a Christian hymn and replace Jesus with Obama makes this even worse. In New Jersey kids can no longer pray to God but they are required to praise the president. The principal of this school and every official associated with this nightmare should be dismissed.”
  In God We Trust is a national political advocacy organization with over 70,000 supporters of various faiths.
