Completely outside the MSM, a lot of people have been talking about this video of the militant Obama youth group. These average people, along with local media outlets, have been trying to figure out what happened. A radio station in Kansas City has interviewed the Director of the Urban Community Leadership Academy, Joyce McGautha. In this interview, she explained that she was fully aware of the group in question, she was aware that the video was being made, but the only thing she’s upset about is that the video was released. So in other words, she’s just angry that they got caught.
In addition to this, she also clarified that it was a teacher who formed this group and trained these children on school grounds. Worst of all, that particular teacher is still employed by the school.
She also states repeatedly that she doesn’t want to discuss the word “militant”, and she doesn’t think that them wearing fatigues, marching, and chanting is “militant”. So in other words, she’s also in denial.

She was aware, she knew the teacher was carrying on these activities, that teacher is still employed, she doesn’t see anything wrong with what these children have been encouraged to do, but she’s angry that it was released for the public to see. The only reason she’s concerned is because oops, someone found out that they were indoctrinating children and that it might have been in violation of the law.
With all of this, I can’t help but wonder, what else is going on in that school that we aren’t seeing?

That said, in the interview, Ms. McGautha further clarified that the school is actually managed and overseen by the University of Central Missouri. Ms. McGuatha is the director, who answers to the Board of Directors, which then answers to the University of Central Missouri. So please continue to contact the University of Central Missouri at the following address, to make sure they know that their school has been violating the law and indoctrinating junior high students in a militant fashion.

It sincerely disturbs me that the leadership of this school can’t even begin to fathom why what their employees have done is so reprehensible. It so greatly upsets me that the adults in this situation don’t even understand their own legal, ethical, and moral responsibilities with regard to the children in their care. This school needs to be either shut down or completely restructured, along with extensive efforts to right the wrongs that have been taught to these children. The damage has been done, it’s time to clean up the mess.

Update: It appears that the teacher in question was suspended yesterday, but according to a statement released by the school, he was only suspended for violating school policy in releasing the video to the public. Honestly, that’s the last thing any of us should be concerned about in this situation.
Oh, and also, according to the Huffington Posts’ campaign contribution database, McGautha donated $375 to Obama’s campaign. Can’t say that’s a huge surprise, though. (Sorry for linking to the HuffPo! They’re about as extreme as you can get.)
