Atlanta Students' Catchy Get-Out-The-Vote Song
October 31, 2008 8:14 PM
Though they're too young to vote, that's not stopping our persons of the week from having a voice in the election. After learning both candidates' stances on the issues, students at the Ron Clarke Academy in Atlanta chose a hit billboard single by the rap artist T.I. and rewrote the lyrics on the issues of the day. With over a half million hits on You Tube so far, it's really catching on.

Such bright kids...what ever type of school this is, or teachers involved...all schools should produce such results.

Only if we had more teachers like Ron Clark AND could pay them what they really deserve. He has created an amazing legacy and is to be commended.

I wonder why there are just two comments here
The Kids, though some years shy of voting age, have been able to contribute their quota to the suceess of democracy.
I commend the School for creating civic responsiblity awareness in these Teens.
I wish other Schools would borrow a leaf from Ron Clark Academy

Are you going to talk about how Obama has responded about his Aunt's news?
But the irony is how Obama responded to the news that he DID NOT KNOW she was illegal. hmm..
he did not know Rev, Wright was radical
he did not know Ayers was terrorist and when he found out, he was only 8 years old
he did not know Rezko was in trouble
interesting? don't you think?

Here is a catchy phrase for you'all. Are we voting for an Obamanation or an Abomination?. ..................

This was an absolutely wonderful story. Thank you! I really think the teacher of that debate class deserves major kudos. He or she epitomizes what every teacher should strive for...establishing a love of learning in a creative enviroment without influencing the individual thought of those students. This is a beautiful example of student empowerment in the best terms. BRAVO!
No child left behind here...all these students are going somewhere!

If Obama wins, it will be both.
