POPSChristian teacher 'forced out' after complaining Muslim pupils praised 9/11 hijackers 'as heroes' Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, taught for 12 years at Bigland Green Primary School in Tower Hamlets, East London. According to Ofsted 'almost all' its 465 pupils are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not speak English as a first language. The teacher claims racial discrimination by the school, its headmistress and her assistant head after they failed to take action about the comments made by pupils to him. He said there was a change in attitude of the pupils after the atrocities of September 11, 2001. They told him: 'We hate the Christians' and 'We hate the Jews', despite his attempts to stop them. He said he filled out a Racist Incident Reporting Sheet but claimed headmistress Jill Hankey dismissed his concerns. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk

POPSSmoke The Bigots Out Of The Closet "Those opposing same-sex marriage are just as eager to mask their bigotry." Oh, how very true. Many times here on CM, I have seen other's voice opinions that gay people ought to keep their relationships private--translation--in the closet. And that is where they want us to keep it because as more and more people do come out, it is harder for the thinking public to discriminate. Imagine if heterosexuals had to keep their relationships secret --and as more of them do realize that is wrong to demand that of homosexuals--society finally grows, changes, and becomes more tolerant of those who are simply born different.

POPSFix Immigration Now! Do something to earn your pay US Congress! Not to be too selfish but - the best and the brightest still want to come here to be free and to make money - but we just put up roadblocks. If the doors to US had been shut in 1800, 1900, or even 1960 - we'd be a third rate nation. Fix the system and open the doors to progress American style.

POPSFamous 'Sit-In" 50th Anniversary Four Afro-American freshman college students, 50-years ago, were sick of the discrimination that wouldn't serve them at a lunch counter. Apparently their own idea, they went to the lunch counter and sat there, waiting to be served. So simple. Yet so brilliant. And it made the news like a spark sets a fire. Back at their campus they talked it up and the next day showed up with almost 30 Afro-American students. So simple. Yet so brilliant. Now they got statues. And an International Civil Rights Center in the town where this started. But before all that they needed courage and conviction. And they made a better America for us all.

POPSNASA Still Likes Killing Those Cute Little Animals I was alerted by PeTA in a newsletter, that these sorts of things were still going on at NASA. I was curious so I went to the NASA website and simply typed in "testing on monkeys" and page after page rolled in front of my eyes. It's hard for me to grasp the full extent of all of these tests, surely it's going to take a lot of time to investigate all of these look-ups. I guess my point is, I thought we had gone beyond all of this crap. A terrible waste of life and taxpayers money. I did my taxes yesterday and this is the first time I have ever had to pay such a large amount. Mind you, I have recently retired, and I have much less than before. I don't want my tax money to go to such ridiculous endeavors! Do You?

POPSLieutenant-Colonel Lee Archer On October 22 1944 Archer took part in a sweep along the Danube. With his leader, he was attacking a Heinkel bomber when seven Messerschmitts appeared on the scene. In the ensuing battle, Archer shot down three of them, the last as it attempted to land. The "Red Tails" escorted bomber formations to attack the oilfields of Romania, rail yards in Austria and on long-range operations to Regensburg and Munich. Archer shared in the destruction of another Messerschmitt and he was also credited with destroying six enemy aircraft on the ground, in addition to several locomotives, motor transports and barges. By the end of the war he had flown 169 missions.

POPSretraites ? injustices et mensonges d'une mascarade de démocratie Les Français sont tellement conditionnés qu'il ne pensent qu'à amoindrir les écarts de privilèges et de statuts ... au lieu d'exiger leur ABOLITION pure et simple ! On crie "liberté, EGALITE, fraternité" ... pour mieux multiplier des statuts, des castes de fonctionnaires protégés à vie du chômage ... Autre entourloupe : la dictature démographique sous couvert de principe majoritaire. La génération hyper-représentée du baby_boom n'a pas fait assez d'enfants pour assurer ses retraites; elle a voulu compenser par l'immigration hypocrite, en jouant les grand-coeurs, les "touche pas à mon pote", la "discrimination positive" ... Mais certains déséquilibres, certaines tensions, la poussent aujourdh'ui à chercher des trucs artificiels comme ... un débat sur l'identité nationale ...

POPS“The Overwhelmingly Liberal Tilt of University Professors” NYT
Well, in the former list of jobs, it’s almost impossible to create guidelines for success. Look at modern artists, and you’ll see there’s no way to predict who will make it and who won’t. But in the jobs favored by the right " standards are clearly drawn. You can gauge the difference between a good doctor and a bad one by the number of sponges left behind in your lower intestine (three by my last count). But let’s cut to the chase. The real reason why professors are libs boils down to one word: tenure. I mean, imagine if you had a guaranteed job for the rest of your life. That means none of your ideas will ever be tested in the real world. Instead, you can blather all you want about how Bush orchestrated 9/11, how America is responsible for all that’s wrong with the world, and what a tremendous dude Che Guevara was. The fact is, if we actually kept score on the success of liberal ideas throughout history " it just wouldn’t be fair to liberals.

POPSScott Brown Link Roundup #6 Update: Just got a robocall from Curt Schilling reminding me that Martha Coakley is so out of touch she thinks he's a Yankees fan. Probably the most effective call I've gotten. Looks like the Coakley campaign has has pissed off UPS now: What can Scott Brown do for Dems? UPS ships off legal salvo Shipping giant UPS isn't amused by a Democratic Party campaign pamphlet attacking Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown that plays off the company's slogan "What can Brown do for you?" Atlanta-based United Parcel Service, known for its ubiquitous brown trucks, demanded yesterday that the Massachusetts Democratic Party, which is listed as paying for the pamphlet, stop distributing it. The mailer asks "What can Brown do to you?" It shows Scott Brown dressed up as a UPS driver and says, "He can reward corporations that ship your job overseas just like George W. Bush."... Thanks to Mickey S. for sending along a scan of the mailer he received. Note the Bush button.

POPSPope slams gay marriage as 'attack' on creation So, it is natural to do what priests do. Lock themselves away from women, deliberately ignoring the process of propagation of the species. No wonder so many finish up losing touch with reality and disgracing themselves and their chosen form of control.

POPSAnti-miscegenation upheld by the Supreme Court Gee, now this sounds familiar. The exact same argument used by opponents of same-sex marriage today: 'it's not discrimination, everyone is treated equal, no one can marry the same gender, yada, yada...' So much also for the idea that when the Supreme Court denies a constitutionality claim, that settles the issue...

POPSHate Begets Hate "What makes this even worse is that three American evangelical Christians, whose teachings about “curing” gays and lesbians have been widely discredited in the United States, helped feed this hatred. Scott Lively, Caleb Lee Brundidge and Don Schmierer gave a series of talks in Uganda last March to thousands of police officers, teachers and politicians in which, according to participants and audio recordings, they claimed that gays and lesbians are a threat to Bible-based family values. Now the three Americans are saying they had no intention of provoking the anger that, just one month later, led to the introduction of the Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009. You can’t preach hate and not accept responsibility for the way that hate is manifested. "
