Middle School aged kids where shown a pro-mo film involving a
number of Hollywood types and music celebs
pledging to “serve Barack Obama,” “to
serve the presidency.” Following an
uproar from a number of school parents,
the principle, Dan Koch, made this statement:
“The ‘I Pledge’ video we viewed yesterday
included some messages about serving President Barack Obama. We apologize for
any part of the video that was offensive to students, their families and staff.
The video conveyed a message that people serve the presidency when in fact our
elected officials serve the people. We respect the Office of the President of
the United States
but like all of our other elected officials, that office serves each of us as
well. I sincerely hope that as participants in Wednesday’s event what you took
away from the experience was to choose to make a difference in your world.”
I think he pegged it. But we should all be concerned that Hollywood does not agree
with the statement, nor does it see the
importance of pushing forward with the fact that our politicians, including Obama, are there to
serve us.
