"And at the same time The Bible and Jesus are not permitted on the premises."
This is what I don't get. In a nation that is at least 85% Christian, school children are not allowed to hear a word about Christianity in their schools, nor to say the Pledge of Allegiance with the dreaded phrase "under God", nor to say a prayer. (Even though the US Congress opens every single day with a prayer and the Pledge, in which they do say "under God").
However, children in various school districts are learning about a religion which has a population base of .5% (that's one half of one percent) in this country, in some cases having to say the Shahada which is a prayer that one says to convert to islam.
Why? Why? Why?

............But has it EARNED a seat at that table.
I think not.
We the people have to blame ourselves for what is being taught in the schools. We elect the school board, but the teacher's union gets to schedule the elections at special times when most people are too unconcerned to vote. The message is, Get Concerned People. Go to school board meetings and tell them what you think. You may be surprised at how many of you there are.
Of course if you home school, you are already taking the right steps, but you should go to the school board meetings to, to explain why your kids have been removed from the schools. Food for thought for the school board.
bttt
Not surprising. It is a natural progression for the left, who run the teachers unions, to ram islam down our kids throats since they have already made a devil's pact with the islamists. I wish I could home school, but I must work. I call upon all mothers who have kids in public school to fight this indoctrination tooth and nail. I will not allow my daughter to be taught about islam, unless it is within the context of learning about ALL religions, and even then it has to be the TRUTH about islam, warts and all.
And Nick Berg, Paul Johnston, Ken Bigley, etc etc. And let's not forget the Israeli children that get chased under their beds and machine gunned by hate crazed Palestinians.
Anyone like the Swift Boat guys that can get something like this on the air will have my continued contributions and I suspect many others.

Since the early 1990's...
That is when I started noticing a sea change in the way Islam was being presented, myself.
Very interesting.
Christianity is out. Dhimmitude is in.
Thank the ACLU and the terrorist lovers at CAIR who want to destroy America.
Cool tagline.
Your message is right on target. We need more action on our side.
How long before our school's history books include accounts of the Pilgrims celebrating Ramadan?
Thanks for the ping.

Scary what is being taught in government schools.
Looks like we have a fifth column working for the goal impose Islam and Islamic on the US from the inside.
Better yet, when in hell will America present a united front to the world in matters of foreign policy, as it did once upon a time???
It's time we had politicians with enough concern for the United States to form a House or Senate committee to grill all forms of media about their un-American propaganda spins, which give Americans a cockeyed perception about what's going on with the war???
So when can we expect the ACLU to bring a law suit?
