Kid Pan Alley is a non-profit that promotes song writing among children. Gee, whatever happened to letting kids be kids, develop some life experiences, bumps and bruises, and then writing about it later and becoming mega-million rock stars or TV wannabees?
Kid Pan Alley, a foundation that works with elementary schoolchildren, will take more careful notice of the lyrical content of student-produced songs after an Oct. 21 concert at Woodbrook Elementary, Albemarle County [Virginia] schools spokesman Phil Giaramita said.Can't imagine the shorts in a knot (after wetting them) if a group of children had written something about Jesus and then performed it. No use even speculating. Lawyers for ACLU would have stopped the performance.
The concert, which culminated a songwriting workshop led by Kid Pan Alley, featured third-grade students singing a song that championed the Occupy movement. . .
The blog Big Government referred to the lyrics of the song as “Marxist rhetoric.”
“The simplistic left wing economic nonsense of this ditty boggles the mind. But to an impressionistic third grader, it plants poisonous seeds at odds with long egalitarian American traditions that disdain class hatred,” the blog states.
Jefferson Area Tea Party Chairwoman Carole Thorpe said she was skeptical that the lyrics to the song had come exclusively from third-graders.
“Even [after] a cursory glance at the lyrics to this song, I find it hard to believe that an eight-year-old would have something to say about the bubble bursting,” Thorpe said Tuesday. “I know it says on their website that the ideas come from the kids, but I would question how much input the facilitator had to do with writing the song.” Albemarle third-graders' Occupy song draws criticism | Daily Progress
