Yes We Can… Indoctrinate Your Kids!
ACTION STEP: Here is the contact information for Cypress-Fairbanks ISD, Kelly Durham, Assistant Superintendent for Communications, mailto:KELLI.DURHAM@cfisd.net;281-807-8939 281-807-8939 (phone); 281-807-8150 (fax). At the bottom of this e-mail, I have posted fact-based information about Obama, his Communist friend (Bill Ayers) who probably wrote Obama’s book, and the crimes that Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine committed. Perhaps Cypress-Fairbanks ISD should consider teaching its students a very different version of the Obama song that contains the real facts about him. – Donna Garner
Did you know that Barack Obama thinks outside the box? That his favorite team is the White Sox? That his famous slogan is “Yes We Can?” That he’s “the man?” That’s what kindergarteners at an elementary school in Houston now know after being forced to learn a song praising the president.
Is Barack Obama your man? Apparently he is to the administrators at Tipps Elementary School in Houston. The school is requiring kindergarteners to learn these and other verses to a song praising the President. Stanzas in the song include:
Who really likes to play basketball?
Obama really likes to play basketball
Who’s gonna answer our every call?
Every Call, Basketball
Outside the box, Chicago White Sox
Resident, President
Who’s famous slogan is Yes we can?
Obams’s famous slogan is Yes we can
Who do we know is the man?
Barack Obama is the man
He’s our man, Yes we can!
Every Call, Basketball
Outside the box, Chicago White Sox
Resident, President
(See below for the full song lyrics.)
Kelly Durham, the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District assistant superintendent for communications (that such a position exists should be a story within itself), claimed the song was “an instructional activity to honor Black History Month.”
Instructional activity? Maybe in the eyes of Saul Alinsky.
What exactly is instructional about teaching kindergarteners that Barack Obama is “the man,” who “thinks outside the box,” who’s “gonna answer our every call?”
It would be one thing to teach students as young as kindergarteners a song with historical facts about each president, or in the context of Black History Month, facts about prominent black historical figures.
But there’s nothing factual about teaching students that Obama’s “the man” who’s “gonna answer our every call” — that’s just propaganda. Propaganda that your tax dollars are funding.

9.9.08 – “Who Wrote Dreams From My Father?” by Jack Cashill, American Thinker —
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/10/who_wrote_dreams_from_my_fathe_1.html
Excerpts from this article:
In 1997, Obama was an obscure state senator, a lawyer, and a law school instructor with one book under his belt that had debuted two years earlier to little acclaim and lesser sales…The ‘writer’ identification seems forced and purposefully so, a signal perhaps to those in the know of a persona in the making that Ayers had himself helped forge.
None of this, of course, proves Ayers’ authorship conclusively, but the evidence makes him a much more likely candidate than Obama to have written the best parts of Dreams.
The Obama camp could put all such speculation to rest by producing some intermediary sign of impending greatness — a school paper, an article, a notebook, his Columbia thesis, his LSAT scores — but Obama guards these more zealously than Saddam did his nuclear secrets. And I suspect, at the end of the day, we will pay an equally high price for Obama’s concealment as Saddam’s.

9.23.09 – “Author Confirms Bill Ayers Helped Obama Write ‘Dreams’ “ – World Net Daily — http://www.wnd.com/2009/09/110784/
Excerpts from this article:
Andersen, in ‘Barack and Michelle: Portrait of a Marriage,’ writes that Obama was faced with a deadline with the Times Books division of Random House to submit his manuscript after already having canceled a contract with Simon & Schuster.
Confronted with the threat of a second failure, his wife, Michelle, suggested he seek the help of ‘his friend and Hyde Park neighbor Bill Ayers.’
Obama had taped interviews with relatives to flesh out his family history, and those ‘oral histories, along with a partial manuscript and a truckload of notes, were given to Ayers,’ writes Andersen.
The author quotes a neighbor in the Hyde Park area of Chicago where Obama and Ayers lived, who says of the two, ‘Everyone knew they were friends and that they worked on various projects together.’
‘It was no secret. Why would it be? People liked them both,’ the neighbor said, according to Andersen.
…In the end, Ayers’ contribution to Barack’s ‘Dreams from My Father’ would be significant – so much so that the book’s language, oddly specific references, literary devices, and themes would bear a jarring similarity to Ayers’ own writing.
Andersen concludes, ‘Thanks to help from the veteran writer Ayers, Barack would be able to submit a manuscript to his editors at Times Books.’
Andersen relied on inside sources, quite possibly Michelle Obama, to describe how ‘Dreams’ was published…

Weather Underground was co-founded by Bill Ayers. He described his organization as a “Communist underground group.” Ayers participated in the bombings of New York City Police Department headquarters in 1970, the United States Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972…
Ayers and Dohrn [Bernardine Dohrn, girlfriend – later married Ayers] or the Weathermen were connected to the fatal 1970 San Francisco Police Department Park Station bombing but neither Ayers nor anyone else has been charged or convicted of this crime.
While underground, Ayers and fellow member Bernardine Dohrn married, and the two remained fugitives together, changing identities, jobs and locations.
http://terrorism.about.com/od/groupsleader1/p/Bill_Ayers.htm
Ayers, born in 1944, was raised in a Chicago suburb. He became active in the anti-war leftist group, Students for a Democratic Society, while he was a student at the University of Michigan in the mid- 1960s. In 1969, Ayers helped lead a group that splintered off from SDS, Weatherman (known as the Weathermen). The group set off a number of bombs against U.S. targets in the early 1970s, earning it the label of “domestic terrorist organization” from the FBI.
As a member of the Weatherman, Ayers had a hand in several attacks…
- · 1970: Bombing of New York City Police Headquarters
- · 1971: Bombing of U.S. Capitol Building
- · 1972: Bombing of Pentagon

Here are two documents provided to me by an attorney. These documents came from the Cypress-Fairbanks ISD education code. Both documents give parents a way to object to controversial curriculum to which they do not want their children exposed.
