. A series of meetings followed, with the project ultimately finding a home in UT-Austin’s College of Liberal Arts, under the guidance of Dean Richard W. Lariviere, in association with UT Liberal Arts (UT-LA), the college’s teacher preparation program.
In April 2004, the Aga Khan Foundation (AKF) and UT-Austin finalized a grant proposal that created the partnership that became known as the Muslim Histories and Cultures Program (MHC). Much has happened since the inception of the partnership. Creation and implementation of a model was of prime importance. MHC recruited and directly trained **80 teachers affecting approximately 15,150 students of World History and World Geography in ten key Texas districts during the two sessions conducted in 2005 and 2006.**
The purpose is two-fold 1) to fulfill Governor Rick Perry’s desire to better educate Texas teachers on Muslim topics and 2) to train teachers to use a cultural lens approach to understanding other cultures. Governor Perry was instrumental in getting this program off the ground.
Thanks for confirming what I said.

...........
so now Norquist is a great Conservative. HUMMMMMMM
There are a number of other potential candidates out there testing the waters, including CEO and self-proclaimed deal-maker Donald Trump, but no obvious front runner says Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform and a potential kingmaker in the Republican Party.
In addition to Romney and Pawlenty, others on Norquist’s radar include:
Sarah Palin — Former Governor of Alaska and McCain’s 2008 VP running mate
Mike Huckabee — Former Governor of Arkansas who, like Romney, ran for President in 2008
Haley Barbour — Governor of Mississippi
Jon Huntsman — Former Governor of Utah
However, there is one person in particular that stands out in this lineup of potential candidates — if he chooses to run: New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.

YOU are being obtuse.
**80 teachers affecting approximately 15,150 students of World History and World Geography in ten key Texas districts during the two sessions conducted in 2005 and 2006.**
10 KEY Rexas distructs to teach approximately 15,150 students of World History and World Geography. These are students, not teachers.
Norquist is a bastich married to a palestinian devout muslim, (which means she can only marry a muslim.) who introduced jihadis into the bush AND other administrations. Get a clue.
