A middle-school teacher at the Urban Community Leadership Academy in Kansas City, Mo., was suspended for posting a YouTube video of a slogan-chanting drill squad.
The video features 10 black male students in 8th or 9th grades, wearing military-style uniforms, marching and chanting slogans supporting Barack Obama. The students also recited claims about Obama’s healthcare plan.
A chant of “Alpha, Omega,” possibly originating from the black fraternity step-team tradition, gave way to “Yes, we can.” Each student proclaimed that “Because of Obama, I’m inspired to become the next doctor (architect, chemical engineer, firefighter, etc.).”
Further drill activities were halted. The teacher had been warned in a letter not to post the video, and was accused of insubordination for doing so anyway.
The video is imbedded in the story “Obama Commandos’ Teacher Disciplined,” (WorldNetDaily 10/6/08).
