Homeland homeland security drills

Michelle Malkin finds intolerance everywhere: under rocks, in barks of trees, on your toilet paper, etc. Today, Michelle Malkin visits Michigan's school system (specifically, Muskegon County) for the latest in homeland security intolerance. The drills mentioned in this article feature a non-race specific extremist group dubbed "Wackos Against Schools and Education" who demand everybody be homeschooled.

The drills include made-up kids and teachers to look like gruesome victims of bombings, and an overturned bus filled with smoke (though, they'd probably be mostly dead in the bus).

Malkin's main offense is aimed at the scenario though. Personally, I find it funny as far as ridicule goes. Its sort of like making fun of the Amish. But, in this case, its not really. The homeschool parents have taken offense with Malkin, in an extremely silly sense. The scenario is about extremists. Personally, I've never seen homeschooled students or parents go blowing up public school systems or threatening them in any way. Some snub the system (and generally their kids turn out to be socially retarded, and the kids may not recieve adaquate education because half the parents don't know enough to teach, but that's besides the point) but they're not extremists. Except for The Happy Homeschooler, I guess, since she takes offense to it.

I find it a humorous scenario. Its one that doesn't teach intolerance, is unrealistic, or anything bad. In fact, in order to create a scenario about extremists, somebody is going to be offended. Considering this scenario is beyond the scope of reality for homeschoolers, people should be happy for this inoffensive scenario.

I find it appallingly dark that The Happy Homeschooler wants an apology, and that Malkin also finds it an inappropriate situation. Malkin would rather have it aimed at Islamic terrorists, as if thats supposed to teach tolerance. Malkin also uses the logic that since the teacher's unions got mad at Rod Paige for calling them "terrorist orginizations," Muskegon (which she probably has never visited) should apologize as well. Because we all know two wrongs make a right, right? *sigh*
