School forced to apologize after showing students Obama campaign video that includes celebrities pledging 'be a servant to the President'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

A Wisconsin middle school has been forced to apologize after showing students a video produced after Barack Obama's 2008 election that included celebrities pledging to 'be a servant to the President.' 

Some parents who watched the video at an assembly at Hudson Middle School in Hudson, Wisconsin, called it propaganda and complained that it was inappropriate for young minds.

The video, produced by Oprah Winfrey's production company, includes celebrities like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz and Eva Longoria.

School officials said they showed the video because it promoted volunteerism, but parents said it amounted to propaganda

It begins with the stars describing their pledges to do one thing to change the world. 

KMSP-TV reports that the video was shown to students in an attempt to promote volunteerism for the 'International Day of Peace.'

Then, three and a half minutes into the four-minute video, Red Hot Chili Peppers singer Anthony Kiedis kisses both biceps and proclaims 'I pledge to be of service to Barack Obama.'

After receiving complaints, the district issued a lengthy apology and said the video would never be used again.

School forced to apologize after playing Obama campaign video

Hudson Middle School Principal Dan Koch pointed out in his apology that the video wasn't just politically-slanted - it was factually incorrect. 

'The video conveyed a message that people serve the presidency, when in fact our elected officials serve the people,' he wrote in a statement to his students. 

Either way, the video didn't pass the smell test in conservative Hudson, Wisconsin, - which is in a county that didn't vote for Barack Obama in either 2008 or 2012. 

'It looks a little 1940s Germany,' said one woman on the street in downtown Hudson.

'It doesn't seem right,' added another.
