Home-Schooled Terrorists

This story makes my blood boil:

In a federally funded exercise to prepare emergency responders for a terrorist attack, a Michigan county concocted a scenario in which public-school children were threatened by a fictitious radical group that believes everyone should be homeschooled.

The made-up group was called Wackos Against Schools and Education.

The exercise in Muskegon, Mich., yesterday simulated a situation in which a bomb on board a bus full of children knocks the vehicle on its side and fills the passenger compartment with smoke.

Can you believe this? What outrageous trash. Our government is so PC, it makes me nauseous. Never, in the history of the United States, has a homeschool organization ever perpetrated such an act. Most of these organizations are founded and run by Christians. But we have Islamic terrorist groups galore--groups that pose a real and legitimate threat to innocent civilians--but God forbid that our government would ever mention such a thing! The truth is an annoying trip-hazard for those who tout this consciously-deceitful anti-homeschooling agenda. Do you see where all this is going? How long before the government, in all its benevolence and wisdom, decides it's time for a ban on homeschooling. After all, it's "for the children," and the elitists know what's best for our kids, don't they?

Dan Stout, director of Muskegon County Emergency Services, told WorldNetDaily the choice of the fictitious group certainly was not meant to offend homeschoolers.

"I don't think there was any particular objective other than to just have a name," he said.

"If somebody is offended, I feel bad about that and sorry about that," he said. "There wasn't any offense meant to anybody who homeschools."

Mr. Stout, with all due respect, you're a filthy liar. Of all the extant terrorist groups one could choose for this exercise, you settled on an invented piece of rubbish--obviously offensive-- with no more basis in reality than Santa or the Easter Bunny. Next time, since we're taking wild flights of fancy through Never-neverland, why don't you beaureacrats make it Geriatrics for Jesus, in an attempt to topple the Empire State Building, since such a monument to man's ingenuity is so reminiscent of the Tower of Babel. How's that for realism?
