SHAME AGAIN!

BETWEEN 1095 AND 1291, EIGHT CRUSADES WERE PROMULGATED TO LIBERATE JERUSALEM FROM THE TURKS AND TO RID THE CHRISTIAN WORLD OF THE THREAT OF ISLAM. SHAMEFUL? OR NOBLE? TODAY A SHAMEFUL SITUATION DEFINES OUR NATION - THE CAPITULATION TO COMPROMISE. WE HAVE SETTLED FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ONLY SCORING AN AVERAGE OF 300 ON THE NATIONAL ASSESSMENT EDUCATION PROGRESS REPORT FOR READING. ALSO, ONLY 50% OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE READY TO TAKE ON COLLEGE READING. WHERE'S A REALISTIC CRUSADE TO FIX THIS COMPROMISE OF EXCELLENCE? A SECOND COMPROMISE INVOLVES POLITICAL CORRECTNESS THAT MANDATES THAT VIRTUALLY ALL WRITTEN MATERIAL OR VERBAL COMMUNICATIONS BE PRINTED IN SPANISH OR BE OFFERED FIRST IN SPANISH (OVER ENGLISH). IF THE MUSLIMS WERE EXPECTED TO ASSIMILATE INTO CHRISTIANITY OR BE SHAMED, WHY CANNOT IMMIGRANTS DO THE SAME IN AMERICA TODAY?

TO PARAPHRASE MARK TWAIN REGARDING GOLF, A "GOOD WALK" THROUGH HISTORY HAS BEEN "SPOILED" IN AMERICA BECAUSE WE HAVE ALLOWED THE QUALITY OF OUR EDUCATION AND THE LOVE OF READING TO REGRESS AND THE AMERICANIZATION OF OUR IMMIGRANTS TO BE RE-DEFINED.

HINT: SHAME ON YOU!
