A Lesson in Teaching
March 11, 2008
Back in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social studies school teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock , did something not to be forgotten.
On the first day of school , with the permission of the school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the room they discovered that there were no desks.
Looking around, confused, they asked, ‘Ms. Cothren, where’re our desks?’

PLEASE GIVE THE FOLLOWING A COMPLETE READ AND THEN SEE IF YOU TOO DO NOT CHANGE YOUR MIND ABOUT STAYING.
HEAVEN HELP US IF WE DON’T LEAVE AND THE SOONER THE BETTER:
I have been a supporter for a long time. But I believe that it is time to re-evaluate U.S. involvement. I’m sorry that a lot of my friends are going to disagree with me, but this is the way I see it now. Every day there are news reports of more deaths.
Why are we still there?
We see images of death and destruction on TV every night.
Why are we still there?
We took this land by force. We occupied it.
It causes us nothing but trouble.
Why are we still there?
Many of our children go there but never come back.
Why are we still there?
Murderers, Rapists, Pedophiles and Thugs enjoy celebrity status.
Why are we still there?
The government is unstable.
Why are we still there?
Many of their people are uncivilized.
Why are we still there?
The land is subject to natural disasters and we are obliged to come to their aid.
Why are we still there?
They have more than 1000 religious sects, which we do not
understand.
Why are we still there?
Their cultures, foods and diverse ways of life are unfathomable to most ordinary Americans.
Why are we still there?
They cannot secure their borders.
Why are we still there?
They are billions of dollars in debt and it will cost
billions more to rebuild.
Why are we still there?
It is now quite clear!
WE MUST PULL OUT OF CALIFORNIA NOW!!
You worry me

YOU WORRY ME!” By American Airlines Pilot - Captain John Maniscalco
I’ve been trying to say this since 9-11, but you worry me. I wish you didn’t. I wish when I walked down the streets of this country that I love, that your color and culture still blended with the beautiful human landscape we enjoy in this country. But you don’t blend in anymore. I notice you, and it worries me.
I notice you because I can’t help it anymore. People from your homelands, professing to be Muslims, have been attacking and killing my fellow citizens and our friends for more than 20 years now. I don’t fully understand their grievances and hate, but I know that nothing can justify the inhumanity of their attacks.
On September 11, nineteen ARAB-MUSLIMS hijacked four jetliners in my country. They cut the throats of women in front of children and brutally stabbed to death others. They took control of those planes and crashed them into buildings killing thousands of proud fathers, loving sons, wise grandparents, elegant daughters, best friends, favorite coaches, fearless public servants, and children’s mothers.
The Palestinians Celebrated, The Iraqis were overjoyed as was most of the Arab world. So, I notice you now. I don’t want to be worried. I don’t want to be consumed by the same rage and hate and prejudice that has destroyed the soul of these terrorists. But I need your help. As a rational American, trying to protect my country and family in an irrational and unsafe world, I must know how to tell the difference between you, and the Arab/Muslim terrorist.
