Dumbing down of students about terror threats

Indoctrinating your school children to accept and embrace Islam:

Albert Einstein observed, "The world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don't do anything about it."

Consciousness of a threat is a factor of education. Unfortunately, some of our school systems, promoting a “peace in our time” mindset, reject educating the most innocent of innocents — our young children — that there is evil in the world that poses a real danger to those oblivious to it. The result is a “dumbing-down” of students about a threat to their future existence.
.
For example, World Net Daily reported seventh-grade students in a third of California schools are taught in a social studies book published by Teachers’ Curriculum Institute that “jihad” is, at best, an effort by Muslims “to take up worthy causes, such as funding medical research” and, at worst, simply Muslims fighting “to protect themselves from those who would do them harm.”

Basically ignoring the teachings of Christianity and Judaism, the book teaches Islamic religious doctrine. The history it shares about Christianity is that Crusaders tortured Jews in seeking to convert them to Christianity; yet the history it fails to share is that Arab Muslims have and continue to persecute Jews today. School officials in Scottsdale, Ariz., ultimately rejected the text as students "were subject to... prolonged indoctrination," inducing them "to embrace Islam."

The book leaves impressionable young students with the belief that Muslim fables and superstitions are historical accounts. But nowhere in the text is an effort made to educate students about the threat posed by a dangerous interpretation of Islam practiced by extremists such as Osama bin Laden — whose interpretation of "jihad" is much more violent than anything the book suggests.

While California schools fail to teach their young students about the dangers of Islamofascism, Islamofascist educators in Iran teach their young how to hate their American counterparts. Video cartoons are shown to very young children glorifying suicide bombers and encouraging them to kill infidels (non-Muslims). The educational system there is used not to promote creative thinking but to indoctrinate a generation of Nazi-like theocrats committed to doing what their leaders dictate. --By James G.

Another disgusting submission. We are asking for it. We are almost begging for it. And unless we do a complete moral 360, we are going to get it. And what's worse, we will deserve it.

I agree with everything in that article except the following statement and the dangerous misconception it implies:
"the threat posed by a dangerous interpretation of Islam practiced by extremists such as Osama bin Laden..."
I have come to believe firmly that the threat to our whole Judeo/Christian western way of life comes from the CORRECT interpretations of the teachings of the Prophet -- which are as clear as crystal, not by their perversion.
We are fooling ourselves into the graveyard.
