Hudson Middle School in Wisconsin played the “I Pledge” video for its middle school’s Peace One Day event and now parents are outraged.
The video was produced by Oprah Winfrey’s production company and it features Hollywood elites like Demi Moore and famous singers like Red Hot Chili Peppers’s lead Anthony Kiedis. The Hollywood left makes a pledge “to be a servant to our president Barack Obama.”
Middle School Principal Dan Koch offered an apology to the students and parents:
“The ‘I Pledge’ video we viewed yesterday included some messages about serving President Barack Obama. We apologize for any part of the video that was offensive to students, their families and staff. The video conveyed a message that people serve the presidency when in fact our elected officials serve the people. We respect the Office of the President of the United States but like all of our other elected officials, that office serves each of us as well. I sincerely hope that as participants in Wednesday’s event what you took away from the experience was to choose to make a difference in your world.”
