Columnist Cal Thomas offers the issue of removing all religious context from our histoy in schools such as eliminating the religion issue at Thanksgiving and offers these observations:
"…This is a ready made issue for Democrats to jump on and save the country’s history. They might also want to look at efforts by certain Islamists to infiltrate public schools with teachings about their religion.
****As Daniel Pipes detailed in the Nov. 24 issue of FrontPageMagazine.com, the 15th tip in a list of “18 tips for Imams and Community Leaders” from the Islamic Web site www.SoundVision.com is “Establish a parents’ committee to monitor public schools.” The committee, Mr. Pipes says, is to “arrange for Muslims to deliver talks about Islam and Muslims” in the schools.
****Mr. Pipes summarizes other suggestions from www.DawaNet.com, including: “Lobby to include Islamic dates on the school calendar;” “Add books and magazines about Islam… to the school library;” and “Incorporate Islam into class projects. For example, if students are required to give a speech in class and they can choose any topic, an Islamic subject should be selected. Similar opportunities can be created in history, social science, writing and other classes.”
****So, while the history and faith of our own country is being erased and a spiritual vacuum created, Islamists are rushing to fill that vacuum with the history and faith of another country.
****Will Democrats ride to the rescue?
