I understand that the political Left facilitated all of this to destabilize the US. What I don’t understand is how Conservatives, Republicans and the Right, in general, allowed this to happen. Were all the “Good” politicians asleep?

The Fall Of Western Civ
Education: A $20 Million Bass Slips Off Yale’s Hook
NEWSWEEK, Mar 27, 1995

Western civilization has been good to Texas billionaire Lee Bass, so it was only natural he should try to repay it, but he’s still trying to figure out how.

Four years ago, Bass, now 38, donated $20 million to his alma mater, Yale, to endow an intensive, yearlong undergraduate course in the great civilization that gave the world Saint Paul, Shakespeare, Descartes and Thomas Jefferson. (Along the way it produced Bass’s own great-uncle, the legendary Texas oilman Sid Richardson, whose estate was the foundation for the almost $6 billion fortune Bass shares with his three older brothers, all Yale graduates.)

But last week, with the program still not underway and Yale balking at his demand to approve faculty members hired under it, Bass asked for, and got, his money back. (snip)

Forget the politicians... Where were the parents who should have been involved with the the school districts when they were deciding on the course curricula and text book selections?

There's a lot of fault to go around here, but the main question SHOULD BE, "is it too late?"

Actually Republican George Bush’s administration helped with the effort to “prove” that Islam is a Religion of Peace.

Remember how he shuffled from Mosque to Mosque, barefoot, hours after the 9-11 attacks?
