Unbelieveable

The NEA is telling teachers not to cast blame on anyone during the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

But another of the suggested NEA lesson plans — compiled together under the title "Remember September 11" and appearing on the teachers union health information network Web site — takes a decidedly blame-America approach, urging educators to "discuss historical instances of American intolerance," so that the American public avoids "repeating terrible mistakes." "Internment of Japanese Americans after Pearl Harbor and the backlash against Arab Americans during the Gulf War are obvious examples," the plan says. "Teachers can do lessons in class, but parents can also discuss the consequences of these events and encourage their children to suggest better choices that Americans can make this time."

Are you angry? So am I. Here's their website. Write them. Tell your friends to write them.

Somebody was to blame. It wasn't Jesse Helms, and it wasn't FDR, and it wasn't George Custer.

I feel sick. If my kids are exposed to any of this crap, fur will fly.

I guarantee it.

The Racist Left - The left wants a black president. As long as she's not a Republican.

The Baltimore Chronicle - think City Pages without the political balance (irony intended) - is the lunatic fringe of the mainstream Democrat effort to discredit the most capable Afro-American woman in government today.

Armey - Dick Armey - a college classmate of my dad's - is retiring. It's our loss.
