What is happening to our Educational Facilities in America?
By Tommy Franks

Are our universities and colleges in America becoming too liberal in this country?
Many are now morally, intellectually, spiritually, and ideologically bankrupt!
Many of our American public school systems are notorious for spending tons of money on each student, yet failing to produce well-educated kids. For example, in Washington DC, $16,344 is spent on each student annually; however, only 12% can read proficiently. The District of Columbia spends more money per student in its public elementary and secondary schools each year than the tuition costs at many well-known private elementary schools or even college-preparatory secondary schools. Yet, the 8th-graders ranked dead last in 2005 in national reading and math tests.

It is a myth that schools don't have enough money. Government schools, like most monopolies, squander money. Believe me, I know. I have worked for the military, US, state, and municipality governments all of my life. I have seen waste for over 40 years. America spends more on schooling than the vast majority of countries that outscore us every year on the international tests. But the bureaucrats still blame school failure on a lack of funds and demand more money. Hello!

Now, the educational facilities are entering a new dimension. They are inviting Muslim indoctrination into our schools in the interest of multicultural "tolerance" and "awareness." Most religious studies are unwelcome in public schools except the study of Islam. Some people in the educational systems think that a broader understanding of Islam will make it easier to understand barbaric acts of mass murder, such as the September 11, 2001 event. However, I believe there is a much deeper goal… making all religions morally equivalent…so that no specific religion is considered to be superior to another. In other words, being a Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist
makes no difference. They are all in the same bag. Hello! What’s wrong with this picture? The word "Islam" means "submission". All Mohammedans are commanded and expected to wage war against infidels (anyone who is not a Muslim) until they submit to Islam and the entire world becomes Islamic. Mark my word. We are at war…an all out war…good against evil. The good part is: We win!Currently, the U.S. is at war with Islamic terrorists who are willing to fight to the death to destroy the American way of life. It is obvious (to most people) that homicidal maniacs and their enablers should not be teaching classes in our American schools, but they are! Read on…

For example, Kevin Barrett (Muslim) currently holds a one-semester appointment at the University of Wisconsin…Madison Campus. He argues that the United States plotted the 9-11 attacks on American people. Mr. Barrett is an academic who supports conspiracy theories about the 9-11 terrorist attacks. He claims that Muslims had nothing to do with the attacks. He says, “The war on terror is as phony as the latest Osama bin Laden tape. 9-11 had nothing to do with Islam.”

Barrett is scheduled to teach an introductory class on Islam, in which he plans to spend one week of the 16-week class teaching various theories about the attacks and the War on Terrorism. Question? Is it me or have our colleges and universities gone completely “bananas”? Previously, Dr. Barrett taught English, French, Arabic, American Civilization, Humanities, African Literature, Folklore, and Islam at colleges and universities in the San Francisco Bay area, Paris, and Madison, Wisconsin.

The people of Madison, Wisconsin…have asked the University of Wisconsin to fire Kevin Barrett…but that is not going to happen! Patrick Farrell…Wisconsin’s provost, has strongly defended the right of Kevin Barrett to teach at the university, whatever his controversial views. Barrett earned his Ph.D. from Madison in 2004.

Barrett has infuriated conservative politicians in the state and many others since he went on a radio show last month to share his views about 9-11. Many have called for his immediate dismissal…to no avail. Barrett plans to share his diabolical views in the course, “Islam: Religion and Culture”. The vast majority of academics who have spoken out about the case have dismissed his theories as absurd and bizarre.

Yale University has admitted Taliban official Sayeed Rahmatullah Hashemi to a special student program. The Yale Alumni is outraged! One alumnus said, “I won't give Yale one red cent this year, but maybe I will give them a red fingernail instead!" She was referring to the Taliban's policy of pulling the fingernails off of Afghani women who dared to wear fingernail polish. Some of these women even had their thumbs sliced off as punishment.Think about this. All of the recent wars (last 14 years) that have been fought have involved Muslim nations. Why? Because many Muslims are filled with “hate” instead of peace and love. Of course, they will tell you that they are being misunderstood.
Imagine trying to hold a conversation with one of these radical Muslims.

Tommy Franks: “Hey, Muhammad, how was your day?”

Muhammad: “Well, Tommy…“I murdered 20 people today, but they were all infidels (non-Muslim) and deserved to die. About half of them were women and children.”
Do you see where we are going in America? Do you see the catastrophic events that lie ahead? The American public should be outraged. We should be marching in the streets. We won’t, but they will!
Throughout America, universities are turning a blind eye while our campuses are being invaded by individuals propagating violent hatred that is down-played…as simply radical Islamism that is being misunderstood!

Let me ask you something? If someone came to your house and killed your wife and children because you did not practice Islam, do you think you would have any misunderstanding about what happened? Hello!

On 17 March 06, the University of Central Florida (UCF) hosted an imam (an Islamic community leader in whom some believe descended from Muhammad) who has ties to terrorists and has publicly pledged his support for those who commit suicide in the name of Allah. This happened in Orlando, Florida.

You want to know something else? The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals says that teaching Islam in public schools is okay; however, they declared the Pledge of Allegiance to our FLAG to be unconstitutional because it includes the words "under God." They ruled that the phrase implies a government endorsement of religion, in violation of our First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Yet, a Muslim can teach about Allah in our classrooms.

Who is Allah? Many scholars, especially archaeologists, believe that “Allah” was a Moon-god…a pagan deity during early historical times. In fact, some historians allude to the mythology that says that Allah was married to the sun goddess and the stars were his daughters. Archaeologists have uncovered temples to the Moon-god throughout the Middle East... from the mountains of Turkey to the banks of the Nile.

Others believe that “Allah" is simply the Arabic word for "God". Even if all of us (Christians, Jews, and Muslims) agreed that “Allah” is the same word for God…the One True God…We would have to ponder the question, “Is this the same God who promotes terrorism, murder, rape, wife-beating, and the killing of innocent people?”
I think NOT! I gotta tell you, this is NOT my God. As a son and family member, my God (Father) is loving and peaceful. He brings me love, peace, kindness, healing, freedom, and forgiveness.

He wants to give me life, not death. He wants to give me peace, not war. He wants to give me love, not hate. He wants to pardon me, not hold me in captivity. He wants to give me faith, not doubt. He wants to give me hope, NOT despair. He wants to give me light, NOT darkness. He wants to give me JOY, not sadness. He wants to give me healing, not disease or sickness. He wants to give me true wisdom and understanding, not ignorance and prejudice. He wants me to be happy and filled with excitement about life, NOT panic and alarm. He wants me to be a giver, not a taker. He wants me to be His son and He my Father forever! And I will. AMEN!
