Back there.

So Virginia school district is defending a song allegedly composed and performed by a group of third grade children and the song is called quote.

Part of the 99%.

It keeps praise on the Occupy Wall Street -- -- Some are questioning -- whether these little eight year old decided to get together and make the song about being part of -- and -- percent Trace Gallagher joins me now live from -- West -- news.

Can't take face.

Hey by the private company called kid pan -- actually comes into the Charlottesville Virginia schools and teaches kids how to write and perform their own songs now.

The deal here is they cannot do anything it's political or personal fulfilling our agenda.

But the students apparently do this on the road eight year -- third graders in this case.

And the lyrics they -- end up with with no parental helper -- teacher help war as follows some people have at all but they still don't think they have enough.

They want more money faster -- they're not content never satisfied yes they are the 1%.

I used to be one of the 1%.

I worked all the time never saw my family couldn't make life rhyme then the bubble burst it really hurt hurt I lost my money lost my pride.

-- lost my home I'm part of the 99 again the school says the kids came up with these lyrics all on -- all.

Here's a member of the school board must.

The kids choose the topic this class chose this topic.

And those of their words they don't censor what the kids right they don't shape with the kids write it all comes out of the kids -- males in their own words.

Mean.

One of the school spokesman went further saying you'd be surprised how talented and Smart these kids aren't creative stuff they come up with -- conservative critics aren't really buying that.

These came up these kids came up -- their own class warfare theme on their own listener.

So my question would be does this also include.

You know religious content of lyrics and what it could you know include profanity.

You know does the school at any point say this content is inappropriate for an eight year old.

And by the way -- pan -- the company became man now says you have maybe the song wasn't exactly the best choice -- look at -- -- in my house this weekend and it wasn't.

I'm just like that -- -- exactly.

That's my very interesting very interesting language and that's for a year all -- -- -- -- thank you very much a debt.
