Somewhere Sam Hill is Smiling

Here's an update to yesterday's post on a vote that should be taken in towns across America. The whitewashing of Islam in history books and in Middle Eastern studies programs across college campuses in this country is part of the toxic leftist/Islamic propaganda campaign that our children's minds are marinating in.

The Texas State Board of Education voted Friday to reject any textbooks which whitewash Islam in and to curtail a "pro-Islam/anti-Christian" bias in school books.

Critics of new textbooks have called on the BoE to investigate and vote on several passages in new textbooks that they believe have a "pro-Islamic bias." According to Republican member of the Texas Board of Education Don McLeroy, the only reason why Islam is getting a favorable writing is because "Academia wants to lean over backwards to be politically correct and not be labeled ethnocentric, so it's kind of a cultural relativism."

The mainstream media vomiting.

The resolution adopted Friday cites "politically-correct whitewashes of Islamic culture and stigmas on Christian civilization" in current textbooks and warns that "more such discriminatory treatment of religion may occur as Middle Easterners buy into the US public school textbook oligopoly."

It vowed to reject any future textbooks which devote more space to teaching about Islam than Christianity, include "sanitized definitions of 'jihad,'" or display bias by describing Christian crusaders as "invaders" when Muslim "conquest" is called "migration" by "empire builders."

LaredoGate: Police Deny Los Zetas Ranch Seizure - Proof Now Emerges

Baeza is also the Laredo Police spokesman who the day before the Los Zetas story broke claimed that there was no spillover of violence from a mass shootout in Nuevo Laredo on July 23, 2010 onto our side of the border. The LaredoGate incident occurred that night or the morning of July 24. Here is what Baeza said just prior to the LaredoGate incident.

"We were getting reports from people who live on the river's edge that they could hear gunfire and explosions from the Mexico side," Baeza said, "We didn't have any incidents on the American side. It's hard for people to understand who don't live here ... They're not Vikings, they're not going to invade us, it doesn't work that way."

Within hours of this statement the incident in Laredo occurred.

Whoever was in charge of the cover-up forgot to get rid of one piece of incriminating evidence... and they are now entering "deny all evidence as bogus" territory. Why don't they just come clean on the whole thing, let the American people know and then we can get security and other concerns taken care of? The American people and residents of Texas deserve nothing less. I would suggest they do so now.
