Crazy times
Has our country gone mad? If this were a blog completely dedicated to politics, I could spend my days filling it with information on signs that we are hurtling ourselves down a path of self-destruction. Not only is patriotism considered politically incorrect, but we are indoctrinating our children to believe that people who hate us are harmless.
Little Green Footballs (which Is a great site for watching the signs of the times) posted this New Hampshire Dhimmitude Watch, which begins:
AMHERST— For one night, on May 9, the quaint colonial town of Amherst, New Hampshire, was transformed into a Saudi Arabian Bedouin tent community, with the help of 80 seventh-graders at the Amherst Middle School. The weather cooperated, providing 85 degree temperatures to give an authentic Saudi feel to the evening.
Read the whole story (HT to Alison)- and see pictures of American schoolgirls in burquas and eating according to Islamic custom apart from the boys here.
This stuff is going on all over our country daily. California's public schools responded to 9/11 by having whole weeks devoted to immersing kids in Islamic culture and religion - though Christianity has been banned from California schools for years.
New England - with the states who are now granting civil unions - seems to have completely lost touch with reality.
Have any of the left wing radicals (not to mention the GLBT community) ever thought that Christianity is their only defense against a culture intent on wiping out one that gives them the freedom to be as crazy as they want? I can't imagine a Gay Pride parade under Islamic rule - well not without a lot of heads rolling - literally.
How in the world do they justify teaching anti-woman practices to public school girls in a feminist society. This type of radical multiculturalism defies all logic - and it will be our downfall.

New Hampshire was once a proudly conservative, independent state. We are surrounded outwardly, and rotting from within, by liberals who have ruined their states (Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine) and now have moved to ours to mess it up, too.
This insanity makes me sick!

Not to sound totally inarticulate, but: Huh?
I remember reading about the same sort of role play in (surprise!) a California school.

Barbara,
Unfortunately, I think we've passed the "tipping point," in several areas. The clock will not be turned back.

this stuff just makes me mad--we as Christians are being discriminated against daily and yet this stuff is okay?
I keep telling my husband I really want to buy an island and move away. Or have you seen the movie The Village?
sigh...

Wonderful. They are teaching their children to come over here and insist we convert or die, and our response is to get a head start on converting.

Bizarre.
Funny how the ACLU isn't screaming about this, isn't it? I'll bet an evening of ancient Hebrew culture, or a focused study on early Christian culture would be flushed before it even got started.

I just linked to the LGF article, and the picture of girls putting on burkas wasn't there. ????

I have to say I have mixed feelings about this. I am all for our myopic american children learning about other cultures. The public school system spends how much time devoted to our own history and a minute amount to the world around us?
This past year we studied (homeschooling) Eastern cultures and focused on Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism.
I think the motive behind all these stories is to teach the similarities between our cultures, which there may be a few. But what is lacking is the comparison - how our western, judeo-christian way of life is so much more kind and gracious then anything else out there. That is what is lacking. Just my opinion.
