How about they try to understand us and our culture since they choose to live here? How’s that for cross-cultural understanding?

Who does this principal think he’s kidding with that ‘after-the-fact ‘apology’? In place of the Pledge of Allegiance he chose to have a poem read that tries to portray Muslims as victims in a land hostile to their faux ‘religion’. The same religion whose ‘holy book’ tells them to murder ‘infidels’. Muslims use Americas freedoms and tolerance to gain acceptance for a vile ‘religion’ that would kill people like this appeasing school principal just for not being a Muslim or endorsing homosexual behavior in the school he oversees. That we allow this tripe in our taxpayer-funded public schools is outrageous and helps explain why the Islamic jihadists view America as an easy target. With idiots such as this Massachusetts principal, we are.

It’s probably some sort of contamination from the nearby Lincoln Labs that turned their heads to mush.

Real question, Uncle Miltie:

Is that the actual poem that was recited instead of our Pledge of Allegiance!!!?

There is aqn easy way to make this all good. You read the poem about the bathroom at Sears, and then as a response you read Chesterton’s poem, Lepanto.

They build mosques on top of conquered churches. Why not replace rituals on sacred days, too?

Bad enough we have to fight socialist/communists/Marxists or Democrats for short, but when we support their indoctrination centers we have no grounds to complain.

Post of the day!

At the Boston airport yesterday they “accidentally” ran a plane crash fire drill scenario out on the runway and it freaked everyone out. Not to mention it was disrespectful. I have this odd feeling Boston is the test case for the islamification of America.

Diversity Morons...in charge of lots of children! Grrrr!

I seem to recall that it was the Boston school system that instituted a horrible sex education curriculum that teaches grade school children about sexual practices that I, a senior citizen, had never even heard of until I saw an article here on FR.

Breaking a paragraph into lines is not poetry. OK? It's not.

Grandma should not put her filthy feet in a public bathroom sink.

What a weird religion.

Alternative Poem

The Coptics Run From Egypt

My grandmother had her feed chopped off by the Brotherhood, and put in the sink at Sears.

The end.

>And if you Americans knew anything

>about civilization and cleanliness

She must have missed the part in "How to win friends and influence people" about not insulting your host.

Someone should dress up in muslim garb and go knock on the Principals door and ask if he minds if you use his sink to wash your feet. Or, better yet, I bet he has his own private bathroom at the school....

“cross-cultural understanding”

As you noted a code word that really means "criticizing our culture."

Does anybody really think that the principal would have, for example, taken the time to explain to the students the tragic fate of the 8 year old girl with a 40 year old "husband"? And how that was part of the "culture" they should understand.

Or how about reading an American poem dealing with the events of 9/11:

Living Colour, Flying:

I jumped out the window,
To get to the parking-lot,
I'm writing this little song,
On my way down,
Never in my life,
Have I felt a heat so hot,
I had to get out.

Such a lovely day to go flying
The sky's so clear the sun is shining
Fate has given me wings,
Such a terrible funny thing.

I was gathering my nerve to ask out carmen,
She glanced out the window,
Oh my god,
Her room it went away,
Just not the way I planned.

Or Toby Keith, Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue:

Now this nation that I love
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
'Cause we'll put a boot in your ***
It's the American way
