With a doctorate in Middle Eastern studies, Linda Steinmann knows only too well the political cauldron that produces martyrs ready to blow themselves up for the cause. When the kids in her Advanced Placement American government class at Forest Hills High School ask how it is that anyone could cheer the news of mass slaughter, she tells them of the "rage" so many in the Middle East feel "about the gap between the Third World and the First World."
Typical garbage. a "doctorate" don't mean much anymore. Such a fantasy, Arabs care about the "third world." They care about themselves. She's living in a guilt liberal fantasy world. Glad our finest minds are teaching our children.
