Ohio Mom Teams-up With TMLC to Remove Islamic Proselytizing Video from 7th Grade History Class

Who are you and what horse did you ride in on? This is a good mother. I was a home school mother and saw a lot of hot house flowers that couldn’t compete in the real world. I put my daughter back into public school and walked through it with her. We are as fundamentalist evangelical believers as you can get but my daughter knows how to fight for righteousness in the real world...in fact you have probably seen on on Fox many times. So this mother is a good mother and fighting for children other than her own. Isn’t that what we are called to do, fight darkness or hide?

Those idiots and their equally idiot leftist allies where promoting Islam good, west bad way back when I was in high school 30 years ago. In rural Georgia, I was being taught how the crusaders were horrible and the crusades were bad. It was years later and outside main stream education (largely thanks to my dad, RIP) that I learned how important the crusades were to turning back the barbaric Islamic conquistadors from over running Europe and Christianity.

Fighting to save public schools is an utterly vain fight and a total waste of resources. You have not only to teach your child everything at home anyway but you have to undo what the child does get from the school. There is a reason why the professional class that has the highest percentage of its kids OUT of public school is public school teachers. My wife is one such. We mixed home and parochial schooling for our 4 after the first years in PS for the oldest.

I consider my own schooling. I was private schooled in the first years in a tiny Calvert System school for the progeny of diplomats and military in Istanbul. After 4th grade I was in USA public schools back in the 50s and 60s which my generation calls the good old days. I learned more history, geography and such by the end of 4th grade than I met again in public school. I learned grammar and spelling which are barely taught at all in any grade now for fear of offending illiterate parents. It has gotten steadily worse. People who went to school even in the 70s think they had a good education, but even then it is so only in comparison with now. I stand by my words.
