I Pledge Allegiance To...

In a recent video shown at a Kentucky school, the children were impressed upon to do certain things; such as, not using plastic bags at the grocery store and helping others. For the first few minutes of the video you hear nice things like that and Eco friendly suggestions, but at around the two minute mark the video goes downhill.

At one point someone pledges to the 'funk of the united funk of funkidelica'. What does that even mean? This video was supposed to be serious, and was advertised as being useful to teaching the youth of America. I don't see how that was done with this video.

Another clip held the promise of pledging to the office of the President, and yet another states their allegiance to Barack Obama... so much for checks and balances.

The worst part of the whole video is the fact that celebrities, these children's role models, were the ones pledging. How were the children supposed to respond? Certainly not objectively with their own opinions. What would you have done at their age? What are we going to do about it now?

I am praying for our country.
