Wipe dem Moslims - I mean, monsters.

 It's a meticulous Tuesday afternoon. The birds chirp to the Star Spangled Banner, the trees wave the sound of independence, and Fox news do their thing, being as sassy as possible. What kind of compelling idea does Fox News plan to present to the fear-mongering red side of America this marvelous day? Could be a two hour rant about how Obama isn't white? Or perhaps some vicarious report regarding an America that's becoming more socialist by the minute and an interview with some random upper class man arguing how messing with his healthcare will somehow prevent his children from having a beach house in California? Nope; it's actually about Fox's favorite subject: "them Moslims"

 Apparently (And by all means, TRUE), our hero of the daily news, totally not biased, has been reporting how difficult and soul-consuming it is for teachers throughout the land of the free to educate their students about 9/11 and the "Moslim World". 

So, in the vain of all this chaos that's been strangely lasting 10 years now, we still seem to struggle with not associating the "terror attacks" with the entire Arabic Peninsula. 

And while some teachers have been reportedly describing the entire Muslim ideology and their members, including the coordinators of the attacks, as Monsters, others chronicle how traumatic it is to explain in detail the events prior, during, and following 9/11. 

So, cutting all the political bandwagon, I'm yet to understand how easy has been for educators to read their students stories about the good ol' crusades, the inquisition, the Holocaust, the Munich Massacre, the Vietnam War, The Iran-Contra affair, the U.S occupation and exploitation of Latin American Countries, the Monroe Doctrine and the Roosevelt Corollary, and, finally, the conflict in the Middle East without holding and inflicting any cultural bias about Christianity and the American world in general to these Elementary School Students. It turns out, this subject is "too scary" to touch. 

You know what? Maybe I'm just crazy. And maybe Sarah Palin is a sharp cookie. Maybe Fox News is a legitimate medium whose purpose isn't to monger fear among us, but a wake call telling us we're never gonna get over it for the better of a free America.

Maybe a foreigner shouldn't stick his nose where it doesn't belong. Just sayin'.
