Government schools in Chicago teach the following lesson on bias.

The class is split in half facing opposite walls. On one wall the teacher has put the following picture: a bearded face with the face complete obscured and a Santa Claus cap. The other wall has exactly the same picture, but with a turban in place of the Santa Claus cap.

The students are then asked how they feel about each picture. Of course, half the class feels really positively about the Santa Claus cap. It symbolizes gift giving and the wonderful Christmastime feelings and events.

Quite logically, the other half has at best only neutral feelings toward the turban. It represents Islam and, although not all Muslims are wicked madmen, enough Muslims are radical killers, rapists, slavers and conquerors as to put a bad feeling in ones heart about the turban.

The face covering is then removed to reveal: the exact same face on each. This is then used to manipulate and propagandize American school children into feeling biased and bigoted, even subconsciously.

The reality is that the teacher withheld pertinent and material information from them and they made a very rational and logical distinction between the only two facts they had to judge on: a Santa Claus cap and a turban.

The lesson is “don't judge” ever. It's idiotic, but it's really happening. It's dhimmitude.

Why not remove the people entirely and just show a white-trimmed red stocking cap with a ball on the top versus a turban? THOSE are the symbols the kids are reacting to. And why wouldn’t they? Symbols are powerful.

By the way, what we’re talking about here is the ability to discriminate between a kindly old man with a beard and a murderous old buzzard with a beard. The opposite of “discriminate” (adj.) is “indiscriminate.” Frankly, I’d much rather my kids be able to discriminate between friend and foe than to indiscriminately believe that everyone is their friend.
