Colorado School Comes Under Fire for Hanging Saudi Flag Higher Than American Flag September 05, 2011

An elementary school in Colorado has come under criticism after they lowered the American flag and elevated a Saudi Arabian flag. The principal at Bauder Elementary School in Fort Collins said they did not mean to disrespect the American flag, according to a report in the Greeley Gazzette.

Principal Brian Carpenter told the newspaper that the American flag was immediately returned to its proper and prominent position at the school. He explained that other flags are posted around the school to recognize the nationalities of students from other countries.

A photograph showing the raised Saudi flag alongside the lowered American flag was first posted on the Greeley Report, a local blog. It generated lots of local debate. “We realize this is an extremely sensitive time with us getting close to the 10th anniversary of 9/11," Carpenter told the Gazzette.

People need to understand that though they changed it to the American flag flying higher...to a Muslim they got the message.

Same when Church Pastors and Islamic Muslims integrate their services.....the Koran will always be placed first before the Bible.....but people are ignorant of how significant to Muslims these actions are.....”Chrislam” is here folks....and fast taking over....even our churches. And our politiciains are pushing it on the populace as well. Just exactly as the Ilsmic goals have stated that they will make America an Islamic Country by getting it’s own people to permote it for them...and that is happening now.

This is what happens when you replace civics class with classes on diversity and multiculturalism.

Only in part....because to a Muslim it's not about diversity or multiculturalism...that's what our leaders are permoting as their reason....to a Muslim there is no assimulation or multicultrualism....it's all stealth/political jihad to subjucate our nation ...and our teachers and students are top priority for Islamification...all their instruction books attest to the fact their presence here is for the Islamification of America...via our educational institutions and governing bodies....and we're co-operating with their agenda willingly....just as they planned..

Another comment made on site I visited says it very well.... ....."Basic diversity and multiculturalism means that state officials in key states are forming ties with Islamic associations ....that serve as front groups for the Muslim Brotherhood​ or other organizations that are equally antithetical to the long term survival of the United States...... Through a few meetings, the Brotherhood is gaining a lever that it can use 'to move presidents'.".....

RAZA STUDIES COMING TO A SCHOOL NEAR YOU
Anti-Americanism Disguised as Ethnic Studies in Tucson Schools
Townhall.com ^ | August 27, 2011 | Rachel Alexander
FR Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 by Kaslin

The Tucson Unified School District (TUSD) is in a contentious fight with the state of Arizona over its controversial Mexican-American Studies program. A state law went into effect in Arizona on January 1, 2011, banning the teaching of ethnic studies in K-12 schools. It was prompted by an investigation into TUSD’s ethnic studies curriculum by Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne when he was State Superintendent of Schools.

The program is known as “raza studies,” which means race studies, championed by organizations like the far left organization National Council of La Raza. The course does not simply teach Latino youth about their heritage, it goes well beyond that.

The textbooks teach Latino youth that they are mistreated by America, training them to become radical anti-American activists. Textbooks include “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed” and “Occupied America.” Another text "gloats over the difficulties our country is having at enforcing its immigration laws." Benjamin Franklin is vilified as a racist. White people are referred to as “gringos” and “oppressors” of Latino people. “Privilege” is described as related to a person’s ethnicity.

At a TUSD school board meeting on May 10, one upset mother read excerpts from the textbook “An Epic Poem,” including, My land is lost and stolen, My culture has been raped….we have to destroy capitalism…overthrow a government that has committed abuses….to the bloodsuckers, the parasites, the vampires who are the capitalists of the world: The schools are tools of the power structure that blind and sentence our youth to a life of confusion, and hypocrisy, one that preaches assimilation and practices institutional racism." --SNIP--
