Great War update
See, I told you so. Muslim indoctrination is already underway in US public schools. This is a violation of just about every 1st Amendment decision handed down by the Supreme Court in the last century. If kids can't be made to pray in schools, why can they be made to observe Ramadan?
Our great country is being attacked unawares by witless, subservient proles who lovingly bend to every wind of incongruous propaganda perpetrated by evil men who who enslave us. It is a war. It is a war for our culture; it is a war for our very souls.

Posted by: James at October 21, 2004 02:03 PMYou're right, some basic skills: Like understanding their youthful ignorance is being taken advantage of. I'm not singling you out James, I've been reading alot about the Northern Caucasus at work and its amazing what education can do. (No news to you, I'm sure).
Take Chechnya: You will be hard-pressed to find a 5-year-old who isn't aquainted with the Stalin Deportations. Try to find a Chechen teen who does not count (by name) the knowledge of at least SEVEN paternal ancestors, their accomplishments, and conditions of death as intimate knowlegde -they can even tell you where they're buried at. To quote Ryan, "Holy Sh-ite".
Our teens are mostly concerned about TRL and who got laid last night on The Real World.
The world is full for engineers who don't know their asses from a hole in the ground -look at Halliburton. Don't get me wrong, Math and Science are important, but instruction in Cultural Identity is where it's at. It's what kept the Vietnamese fighting, it's keeping the Chechens fighting, and if you have your enemy dictating the curriculum you will soon be absorbed and collectivized.
National Ed., then the alphabet. History, then geometry and the forms.
