#3 You can teach a person to believe absolutely anything - even things which his senses and intellect can detect or reason not to be true. Just start early enough, repeat often enough, and reinforce with approval & acceptance.

Anyone taking bets regards the funding source for undermining the text contents via bribes or "donations" or "other support"? This bears the clear MO of the Saudi Wahabbists. Want to stop the insanity? Stop indoctrination. How? Turn Saudi Arabia into a sheet of glass, for starters. BTW, we can drill through glass.

Better yet, bring back the neutron weapons that Geo41 had dismantled. Stupid decision that was a kowtow to the multilateralist / liberal outcry that a nuke weapon that kills, but doesn't destroy structures or facilities or leave the kill zone radioactive for N millenia was "bad" and "insane" - when logic tells you it's just the opposite. Amazing.

#4 The real shame is that there are equally as biased textbooks being used in the United States. Most are not favorable to the US Constitution, our government, or any military operation. Rewriting history is just a small part - they are also rewriting the use of English language, corrupting social virtues, and really, really messing with kids' heads.

When a high school biology book spends more time talking about environmental destruction than about the differences between mammals and amphibians, we need to start worrying. Math suddenly "has no right or wrong answers". And people wonder why they can't get kids with enough knowledge to work in fast foods.

#5 OP - You're right. So, where would you like to begin in the ConUS? We can make it a game. You get 5 dirty nukes and 15 neutron nukes. You'll prolly need lots more, but we can negotiate the rearming based on your point total after the initial strike wave. BTW, DC is off-limits. ;->

#6 I think the best way to solve the problem is to require all tenured teachers to go through Marine basic training and spend 10 years in the reserves afterwards. That includes anything from Kindergarten through tenured Senior Professors on our college campuses.

I would also outlaw the NEA. Anyone joining after the law is signed into effect would automatically qualify for 30 years' hard labor in a UN NGO, preferably in Africa.

#7 I saw some article that a college in San Fransisco now offers a BA and MA in Social Activism. I would think that such a degree would make your resume look as enticing to employers as an anthrax sandwhich on Monster.com. Kind of limits your employment options the way tattooing a swaztika on your forehead would.

#8 This isn't any different than the B-S which the american public schools are doing now with their Politically Correct agenda. I dont think they even teach history anymore. (after all mention of slavery might offend someone and mention of the American Indians (pardon... Native Americans) might offend someone else.).

My son will be born pretty soon and I am determined not to have him go to a public school where he will have this Politically Correct bullshait is forced fed to him.

I just have to find a well balanced school which will give him a well rounded education.

I know... good luck... I will need it....
