Excuse me, what have sexual orientations got to do with 9/11?!!! As for embracing all religions, it is my right as an American citizen to NOT embrace any religion but my own. I will tolerate other people's religious beliefs so long as their beliefs don't involve the ultimate goal of a violent "holy war against anyone who doesn't believe like them," instituting a barbaric 7th-Century set of laws that includes stoning to death of adulterers and lopping off the limbs of criminals, subjugation, enslavement and murder of those who won't convert to their way of thinking. There's a religion that falls under all of those things and it ain't, IMHO, a religion of peace. I studied and read this religion's holy books and history long before a group of its followers decided to take it literally and engage in a war against me, my family, friends and fellow citizens on 9/11!
I will never, ever forget how millions of the so-called "peaceful followers" of this religion gloated, danced in the streets and worshipped the acts of these fiends. Lippencott and his NEA swine want to deny the frenzied celebrations and deny the videotapes of Osama Bin Laden and his Al Queada people praising 9/11 as a great victory against the West! The NEA wants teachers to not call 9/11 an act of terrorism or pin the blame on anyone...unless it is the nasty, evil US. (Maybe Israel...but that's too easy.) Oh, no, that would not be polite or politically-correct. It might hurt the feelings of the people responsible or their supporters who took ghoulish delight in the events of 9/11.
Thank goodness that my son is homeschooled. He won't be subjected to this PC, morally-relative, BLAME AMERICA garbage that the public schools spew forth in the name of "tolerance" and "diversity" on September 11th.
No, professor. The best way to protect ourselves from future assaults is to utterly annihilate every single Islamist regime that either perpetrates or supports terrorism, round up every Muslim non-citizen in the U.S. and send them back to whence they came, and place the National Guard on our borders to help protect us against further invasion. Capiche?
As a former high school teacher, I can attest to the fact that most teachers teaching in public schools today are just plain incompetent. Most...not all. Hey folks, the system is broke...anything that can weaken the educrats and their bedfellows is justified - homeschooling,vouchers, even dropping out of school ad taking the GED or getting a high schol diploma via the 24 hour college credit approach.
Drop them a note on how you really feel. I did and it made me feel better - for awhile.
Of course, my son never believed that something like 9/11 would ever happen or that millions of Muslims world wide would joyfully give it a thumbs up. The so-called "moderate," "tolerant" Muslims who were disgusted and shocked by 9/11 were not very numerous or vocal in their condemnation. (Lame, loosely-worded condemnations, immediately followed by even lamer excuses and blame against Israel and the US don't count!) The more enlightened Muslims appear to be in hiding from their more numerous fanatical brothers and sisters.
Hopefully, my son will also point out that not much has happened with Islamic culture since the 12th Century. Modern Islamic society is rife with corruption, ignorance, women-degradation, poverty, violence, religious intolerance and a Nazi-like obsession with the Jews! I will also have him enclose his excellent report on Whabbism.
I am very lucky that I live in a pretty conservative town (went greater than 80% Bush in 2000). And I praise my sons teachers for their honesty and integrity during and after last years terrorist attack. In fact if it weren't so conservative, my son wouldn't be there.
This is the perfect oppurtunity for parents to remember that they are in charge of their children's education, and if it isn't up to your values, get them out of that school.
Great advice. It would be even more wonderful if more students were made aware of this disgusting mindset by caring parents the night before.
I have another idea. On September 11, students should bring in a copy of the NEA "9/11 talking-points" and take it apart word for word. Parents can teach them how to debate in a calm, knowledgeable manner. It may be casting pearls before swine, but at least some teachers will realise that not every child is going to fall for NEA lies and propaganda! Now, that's what I would call an education!
...However, San Jose's own Brian Lippincott, associate professor of psychology at JFK University, calls grouping people close together for long periods a "time-honored method of indoctrination," used since the days of the Roman centurions. "And then you're tired on the second or third day," he says, "and you lose your independent thought process, and the things you're hearing become internally consistent. You kind of lose the ability to check out-- 'Are these assumptions really true?' If I get you to accept three or four premises, then all these things would follow from those assumptions.
