I’m hesitant to post this, knowing that the internet will tear apart the whitest rap video ever made, but a bunch of Cleveland High School kids have made a breathy music video supporting the Portland schools bond. But, hey, they made it! And put it on YouTube! And want to raise support for the $548 million bond. So here we go:
Sarah Shay Mirk reported on transportation, sex and gender issues, and politics at the Mercury from 2008-2013. They have gone on to make many things, including countless comics and several books. More by Sarah Shay Mirk
That didn’t completely suck–which is the highest compliment I can give to white people rapping
Also: Children! Children! Future! Future!

That was adorable. And I am refraining from saying something inappropriate. I AM REFRAINING.
That’s my co-worker’s son! So I am SUPER pro this.
There could be no better anti-bond campaign ad putting PPS fail on parade (and I don’t mean the kids themselves)
Surprisingly well made and adorable. But do you really want to refer to a bunch of teenagers as “Our Country’s Igniters”? Future arsonists, unite!
Super cute and well put together with a great message. The snarkiest thing I can think of to say is that Portland Schools needs more funding for its arts programs to teach these kids how to rap!
Actually kind of awesome. Quick, someone start a rap battle with the school board before David Wynde leaves.
Aagh, cynicism melting away, sarcasm out of reach…
Very impressive! When’s the last time you saw a bunch of high school kids work hard to pass a school bond measure? (By way of disclosure, my grandson produced the video, so I’m a little biased.) Baba
I thought the schools were crumbling. They look even better than I thought. Kids look wel fed too. mmmmm
Everyone has to make sacrifices during poor economic times. Schools are no different.
VOTE NO!
Stop the the theivery. Get your hands outta your fellow citizens pockets.
VOTE NO!
Whenever Kids are doing something positive, I’m all for it..go Portland! Great Job!
