Here's another video courtesy of RealClearPolitics.com. this one has a little bit of a twist. The kids are attendees at a private school, the progressive Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta. If parents wish to send their kids to private schools with a certain social or political agenda that's a very different matter if kids are singing "Hail Obama" than a regular private school. However, this presentation was broadcast from the set of the CNN studio in Atlanta. The story caption reads, "Reading, Writing, and Reform."
With CNN hosting happy singing children pushing the health care agenda, they are implicitly giving their editorial stamp of approval to the so-called progressive health care agenda and they are also making having kids being used as political pawns look totally acceptable.

While right thinking Americans might not like this kind of performance, given that it was the activity staged by a private school, we should declare hands off just as we would object to the state, the media, or any liberal group criticizing kids singing explicitly religious songs in private schools.
Surely, all Americans would benefit if all kids in all schools were taught the constitution in a straight forward, honest, objective manner.
Our issue here is with CNN and how they use soft news, gee-whiz wonderful kids, being used in a conspicuously political manner supporting the liberal agenda that CNN refuses to admit it clings to.
At a time when so many talk of the virtues of transparency, the denial of agendas that are as clear as black and white should concern us all.
