The increasing enrollment in these schools reflects the desire of parents to ensure their children remain unassimilated and learn to hate the U.S.

That is what it would appear to be. The old “Divide and Conquer” tactic.

The article does not say that. However, it appears to have a strong backing.

Muzzies have been coming into this country since 1895 and more are coming in now after 9/11 than before.

For a country that is considered to be the “Great Satan”, what meaningful purpose brings them here?

It can be compared to the multiplication of cancer cells.

It also appears that it is only the average American who is concerned with this Muslim takeover — Congress certainly doesn’t give a crap.

As I understand it, the Islamic religion is also the fastest growing religion in Mexico and the US.

We as Americans are being lulled to sleep by our domestic politics and foreign policies. Hopefully, we will awake before it is too late.

Missionaries of course. They are out to counter the Christian missionaries sent out by the West over the past few centuries. Hence, the full approval of the Left.

“Harmony” charter schools thrive in Texas. They are Turkish sponsored, part of the Cosmos Foundation, yet qualify for state charter school funds and federal monies.

Yes. Quoting a line from South Pacific “You have to be carefully taught”. Preparation of a mindset for things to come.

Is there a prime financier backing these schools other than the state of Texas?

Muslim kids are being denied a great education in the public schools?

I’m sure the Teacher’s Union ...won’t care a bit...
