Science and academia are tools of the brown peril
My fellow patriots,
Some have wondered why we have been so eager to do away with Academia and secular-biased science.
Keep in mind that being a patriot means being in perpetual war with the babbling, brown hordes of foreigners who are always trying to undermine American freedom by any means possible. It stands to reason that whatever these foreigners support, we must oppose.
Keep that in mind as you read what Obama's madrassa-buddy has to say:

America’s soft power is commonly thought to reside in the global popularity of Hollywood movies, Coca-Cola, McDonald’s and Starbucks. But the facts tell a different story. In a recent poll involving 43 countries, 79% of respondents said that what they most admire about the United States is its leadership in science and technology. The artifacts of the American entertainment industry came in a distant second. In the 1970s, what I, as a young foreign student studying in the United States, found most dynamic, exciting and impressive about this country is what much of the world continues to value most about the US today: its open intellectual culture, its great universities, its capacity for discovery and innovation.
I felt the full force of this soft power when I came to the United States from Egypt in 1969 to begin graduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania. I discovered how science is truly a universal language, one that forges new connections among individuals and opens the mind to ideas that go far beyond the classroom. My education here instilled in me greater appreciation for the value of scholarly discourse and the use of the scientific method in dealing with complex issues. It sowed, then nurtured, new seeds of political and cultural tolerance.
Tolerance, of course, means tolerance of evil. The so called scientific "tolerance" suddenly ends once you want to teach the controversy wether about the holocaust, or evolution, or what have you.But perhaps most significant was that I came to appreciate the extent to which science embodies the core values of what the American founders called “the rights of man” as set forth in the US Constitution:
Freedom of thought and speech, which are essential to creative advancement in the sciences; and the commitment to equality of opportunity, because scientific achievement is blind to ethnicity, race or cultural background.
"Free speech" is just a code-word for pornography. And equality? If your science-god is so big on equality, why did he only give inventions to White people? What has the rest of the world invented, other than Chinese Finger-traps?Freedom of thought and speech, which are essential to creative advancement in the sciences; and the commitment to equality of opportunity, because scientific achievement is blind to ethnicity, race or cultural background.
Second, the focus of a better-integrated effort should be on improving education and fostering the scientific and technological infrastructure that will bring about genuine economic gains and social and political progress. One way would be for the US to encourage and support the creation of relatively simple earth science labs in elementary schools, along with the teacher training necessary to stimulate curiosity about the workings of nature. For older students, I propose a new program, “Reformation of Education and Development,” whose acronym, READ, would have special significance for Muslims, as it is the first word of the Koran. And through the program, the US should be a partner in establishing science and technology centers of excellence for talented high school and university students in the region.
"Curious"....Yes, he actually came right out and admitted it. When a little boy becomes bi-curious, he wants the teacher "stimulate" him.
