Don't they have some sand to pound?

So add this to the ever lengthening list of reasons I'll be homeschooling.

Saudi in the Classroom
A fundamental front in the war.

By Stanley Kurtz
Unless we counteract the influence of Saudi money on the education of the young, we’re going to find it very difficult to win the war on terror. I only wish I was referring to Saudi-funded madrassas in Pakistan. Unfortunately, I’m talking about K-12 education in the United States. Believe it or not, the Saudis have figured out how to make an end-run around America’s K-12 curriculum safeguards, thereby gaining control over much of what children in the United States learn about the Middle East.

No, really, I wish I were making this up. It's true. There's more, you have to RTWT, but I know you WILL, so I won't post it all here.

Suffice it to say, it's meager comfort to me that I'll be the one teaching (or at least inoculating against the teaching of others to) my kids. I can't wrap them in batting and lock them in the closet forever. They will have to go out (((((there))))) and deal with other people's children....children who have been brainwashed into believing it's all our fault that "they" hate us in Islamic Shangri La, where everyone is peaceful deep down, and only provoked by our evil ways to do anything remotely murderous to us (waaaah).

I am so scared for this country sometimes.
