Three years ago, I wrote about a mock terrorism drill at a public school district in Muskegon County, Mich. Instead of Islamic terrorists, educators substituted Christian homeschoolers. Yes, Christian homeschoolers. Here was the description of the school drill plan:
"The exercise will simulate an attack by a fictitious radical group called Wackos Against Schools and Education who believe everyone should be homeschooled. Under the scenario, a bomb is placed on the bus and is detonated while the bus is traveling on Durham, causing the bus to land on its side and fill with smoke."
Flabbergasting but true. In the wake of 9/11 and the jihadists' carnage against schoolchildren in Beslan, Russia, the school chose to prepare their students for an attack by Christian homeschooling "wackos," not Muslim suicide bombers.
Unfortunately, little has changed. Last month, New Jersey's Burlington Township High School held its own mock terrorism drill. "You perform as you practice," Superintendent Chris Manno told the Burlington County Times. "We need to practice under conditions as real as possible in order to evaluate our procedures and plans so that they're as effective as possible."
But the "real as possible" conditions included no bomb-vest-donning jihadists shouting "Allahu Akbar." No red bandana-wearing martyrs with visions of 72 virgins dancing in their evil heads. No America-hating plotters enraged by the existence of Israel or driven to establish a worldwide caliphate. Nope. According to the paper, two local police detectives took on the role of hostage-taking Christian gunmen.
"Investigators described them as members of a right-wing fundamentalist group called the 'New Crusaders' who don't believe in separation of church and state. The mock gunmen went to the school seeking justice because the daughter of one had been expelled for praying before class." Upset Christian students reported on the drill to their parents.
How many other jihad-whitewashing mock terrorism drills have been conducted using tax dollars? How long before we mimic the British schools, where the Holocaust is being dropped from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils?
American educators have been bending to the will of the grievance-mongers ever since the 9/11 attacks. Remember the jihad-sympathizing admonition included in the NEA's touchy-feely, post-9/11 curriculum: "Do not suggest that any group is responsible" for the terrorist attacks, parents and teachers were advised.
But feel free to conjure up homeschooling "wackos" and Christian "New Crusaders" to avoid offending the Muslim lobby.
Here is a "real as possible" scenario. Last month, you'll recall, counterterrorism officials sent cautionary bulletins to police departments nationwide warning that suspected members of extremist groups have signed up as school bus drivers in the United States. The "extremists" being investigated by the FBI and other agencies are foreigners who have been able to "purchase buses and acquire licenses."
Who are these "extremists"? Hint: They are not Presbyterian or Lutheran or Catholic homeschooling wackos.
In Indonesia last month, a theological school was reportedly attacked by religious terrorists in Jakarta. The school was evangelical Christian. The terrorists were Muslim. In southern Thailand, attackers hurled explosives and opened fire on an Islamic school, killing three students. According to reports, police believe that Muslim insurgents staged the attack in an attempt to convince villagers that authorities were responsible -- a ploy to win villagers over to the insurgents' cause.
And in the name of winning Iraqis over to their blood-stained cause this week, a suicide truck bomber carrying food supplies killed eight Iraqi schoolgirls and a baby in the northern oil city of Kirkuk. The truck bomber was a crusader, all right. But not the kind American students are being taught to drill against in their make-believe bubbles.
In our government institutions of perpetual ignorance maintenance, "D" is for dhimmitude. They are teaching our children all too well.
Don’t be picking on the American Taliban now.
Tim McVeigh anyone?
Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing. Judeo Christian “Golden Rule” ethic is being used against us. Islam has no such value. Their relentless exploitation of our golden rule is incremental surrender.
It is so scary. Hard to be optimistic about the future when we see that for fear of offending the bad guys, we are in effect just giving in to them!
Who was it that said “how can we defeat an enemy we are afraid to offend?” That is getting more and more true by the day and I hope it doesn’t cost us our very existence.
America's madrasses deserve an "E" for enablers.
It is rare to see any courage in today’s society. Any moslem who makes a demand for “fairness” must be confronted with the truth. Tell me moslem man of equality. Rebuke these demons.
PS.. I am a refugee from Connecticut.. Land of Taxes & PCness.
BTTT!
All moslems pray 5 times a day to Mecca, a segregationist city within a segregationist nation. Jews may not enter Saudi Arabia at all. Non-muslims may not practice their faiths and their religious texts are prohibited. Non-muslims may not enter the city of Mecca.
The “moderates” do not speak out against this injustice. So much for universal civil rights. I do not understand being tolerant of an intolerant political ideology. Mohammed was a warlord. Hitler was a warlord. Nazism was built around a mythology of being a master race. This same supremacist ideology runs rampanent in political Islam. It sees kufir as subhuman (the offspring of pigs and monkeys) and undeserving of the same rights and protections under the law.
If the “moderates” don’t denounce the injustices and extremists then there is no difference between them.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With connections to Indonesia.
Our government schools are unrelentingly anti-Christian.
Our government is using tax dollars ( extracted by threat of police action) to fund a religious indoctrination that supports and **establishes** any religion or religious worldview that will undermine and destroy the Christian faith of its prisoners. ( oops! “students”)
Hm?....Establishment?,,,Could it be? Could ALL of our government schools be violating the First Amendment?
Stand firm against Islam and pluralists deceived by them.
