The Link Between Progressive Education & ISIL Sympathizers
Walter E. Williams: “In February 2006, I wrote a column titled ‘Indoctrination of Our Youth,’ followed in March with ‘Youth Indoctrination Update.’ Both columns focused on rants that a student secretly had recorded of a geography teacher at another Colorado school – Overland High School in Aurora. The teacher was Jay Bennish. … Bennish reasoned with his class, ‘If we have the right to fly to Bolivia or Peru and drop chemical weapons (pesticides) on top of farmers’ fields because we’re afraid they might be growing coca and that could be turned into cocaine and sold to us, well, then don’t the Peruvians and the Iranians and the Chinese have the right to invade America and drop chemical weapons over North Carolina to destroy the tobacco plants that are killing millions and millions of people in their countries every year and causing them billions of dollars in health care costs?‘ This kind of anti-American teaching might help explain why some Americans have joined the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.”
