CAIR's 9/11 Tips to Teachers Whitewash Islamist Role in Attack

  Middle East Forum

They want children to connect 9/11 with white supremacy. Beto O'Rourke, this is in your wheelhouse. TD

"With a new generation of American adults born after 9/11, the simple reminder to "never forget" that dark day in human history remains as urgent as ever. Yet, unknown to most Americans, a campaign is underway that seeks to dramatically alter the way that children learn about 9/11, transforming the United States from victim to villain and rejecting any Islamist links to the massacre.

"Trafficking in this new, revisionist narrative is an ideological cousin of the jihadists who executed the 9/11 attacks. Though they may differ in strategy and tactics — and indeed may swear off violence altogether — Islamists who embrace some of the same anti-Western, supremacist beliefs as al-Qaida are pressuring educators to rethink how they teach 9/11 to young American students.

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a self-described civil advocacy group notorious for its origins as a Hamas affiliate, spent years denying Islamic links to the 9/11 attacks, strongly implying that Israeli Jews and other Western conspirators were responsible. Twenty years later, the same radical group is providing resource guides for educators, hoping to absolve Islamists of any responsibility for the attacks, while framing Muslims as the foremost victims of the tragedy.". . . 

CAIR asks teachers to emphasize to students that Muslims universally
 condemned 9/11. ABC News archival footage of Palestinians
 celebrating in the West Bank tells a different story.

..."In its "9/11 Anniversary Response Guide For Educators," CAIR's Ohio chapter implores teachers to avoid discussions on terrorism altogether. Instead, "exact words" such as "white supremacist" are preferred to describe the event."...

To which "young skulls full of mush" will willingly assent, shouting the unoriginal slogans they have been taught by more forceful minds than they possess. TD
