***The Muslims can either leave the U.S. or start their own school and pay for it themselves.***

But after 12 years in a muslim school all they will be able to do is recite the Koran. No English readin’ riten’ rithmatic’ sung to the tune of a hickory stick...

Wait ‘til the schools start closing for Ramadan, but have to be open for Thanksgiving and Christmas to fit the school days in.

When will this stop?

It will stop when one of two things happen.
1. It will stop when our leftists wake up.
2. The bitchin' will stop when we enact Shira law.
If it comes down to the second, I'll go down fighting.

Elizabeth Zahdan, a mother of three District 122 students, says she took her concerns to the school board this month, not because she wanted to do away with the traditions, but rather to make them more inclusive. "I only wanted them modified to represent everyone,"

BS. You don't make things more inclusive by telling other people what they can eat or celebrate. The real agenda is clear here.

I'd be afraid of what I would find in 150 to 200 years from now. Crap, I'm afraid to see what the next 10 or 20 will bring.

As am I. I have written a second book (the first was my autobiography), a work of fiction based on an extrapolation of current events. It ain't pretty. Know any literary agents not based in New York or San Francisco who might want to check an very un-PC book? It’s set in the 2040s and I’d like to see it published before it goes from fiction to history.

Wish I did. I just do role playing games for a local group of mine, that is if I ever get them to reconvene, at least I have time to layout the world. Still, I think you book does sound interesting and is worthy of publication, the people do need to be warned of what is coming down the line. What these appeasers don't realize is that their heads are on the chopping blocks as much as ours are. Even if we disagree a lot of many issues, I wish they would see the light at least on this issue and fight with us.

It seems every literary agent I’ve found in based in hard core leftist areas. I will keep looking. They don’t wake up until it’s too late in my book.
