Obama is a Muslim. Why do you think he pushes for a Federal education curriculum via Common Core? Indoctrination.
Of course, most Dems aren’t Muslims, but they are statists, and they like the indoctrination aspect of a common curriculum under Federal control, and then there’s the union aspect, as well. For whatever reason (do run of the mill union teachers care what they teach), the NEA lines up with this plan, too.
From Pres. Jefferson’s time Muslims were persona-non-grata until US politics and presidents were sucking the tit of/for Saudi oil. The dependence on oil has been like a mattress filled with bedbugs. The US has had to accept all varieties of nationals under the flag of humanitarism.
Lefties like islam because it is the most efficient way to control the unwashed masses.
