A Christian preschool teacher has outraged many after being caught on video leading children in a chant against Democratic President Joe Biden.
The incident occurred in February at Turning Point Christian School in the Riverside County city of Norco, California. A video of the chant was shared on the school's parent communication app.
Parent Christina McFadden, whose daughter is in the class, was outraged by what she saw in the video. Her daughter's teacher led the class in a chant “We want him out!” in reference to President Biden.
See video of the incident below.
The incident was part of the teacher's lesson on President's Day.
The video shows the teacher leading the 4- and 5-year old children in a cheerleader-style call and response chant:
"Who's our President?"
"Biden!"
"What do we want to do with him?"
"We want him out!"
McFadden told Los Angeles ABC affiliate KABC that she was astonished by the video.
"I was just in shock. I had to watch it multiple times to realize, is this really happening?...
"The first thing she said to me when I picked her up was 'We want him out.'"
"That was the great message she learned that day. Her first history lesson."
The video soon disappeared from the parent communication app, replaced by a message from a school administrator which read in part:
"Earlier today a video was posted that has since been deleted as it did not share our school and church philosophy of honoring and respecting authority including those in government positions."
"... With courtesy towards the families of our campus and the children in the classroom I am asking you to please not share with others or post the video on any social media platform."
But McFadden felt the school was not sufficiently addressing the issue. When the school refused to confirm what, if any, disciplinary action will be taken, saying only that the teacher is "repentant," she blurred the children's faces in the video and posted it, hoping to garner attention to the matter.
It worked. On social media, many people shared her astonishment at the incident.
I always find it odd that the anti-CRT have such a hard time producing video evidence of the awfulness they legislate over, but these types of videos seem to exist in abundance.— Greg Motter (@Greg Motter) 1647876290
What happen to just teaching students maths, reading and writing?? When desantis hears about this he's going to be pissed. \n\nChristian school teacher leads students in anti-Biden chant.https://themindshield.com/christian-school-teacher-leads-students-in-anti-biden-chant/\u00a0\u2026— Covie (@Covie) 1647818908
The accusations are always admissions of what they are doing.— J0SH SUK0W (@J0SH SUK0W) 1647872198
Well, yeah. Public schools' purpose is not political indoctrination, and 4 and 5-year-olds are innocents, easily led. It is a major ethics violation. It requires consequences. It would be the same if one made them chant: "We want Biden in." Ideology has no place there.https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1505577744305905667\u00a0\u2026— SpectreofLennyBruce (@SpectreofLennyBruce) 1647794260
WWJD!?! \nThe teacher recorded this and posted it herself, like it's a cool thing?— John Smith (@John Smith) 1647672204
I hope parents of these children see to it that that teacher is fired. The nerve! I can\u2019t imagine a scenario where this is acceptable.— Carolyn Harvey \ud83d\ude0aTripleVaxxed,StillMasked\ud83d\ude37 (@Carolyn Harvey \ud83d\ude0aTripleVaxxed,StillMasked\ud83d\ude37) 1647702272
Turning Point "Christian" School? Indoctrinating the little ones against the true Christian who serves in the WH. #taxthechurcheshttps://twitter.com/inminivanhell/status/1505046891355992065\u00a0\u2026— \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 LA \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 LA \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1647742525
Doesn't matter what the political orientation of the chant is.. ANY teacher teaching kids political chants needs to GO.\n\nSchool isn't for political indoctrination, and any teacher that tries to do so needs to be fired.\n\nI'd say the same for Biden, Trump, Obama.. Doesn't matter.https://twitter.com/joncoopertweets/status/1505577744305905667\u00a0\u2026— Charles Floate \ud83d\udcc8 (@Charles Floate \ud83d\udcc8) 1647839652

Would be pulling my kids out faster than you could say January 6.— Pop (@Pop) 1647757391
McFadden has since removed her daughter from the school.
