In recent years, you've seen the multicultural religious zealots continue to threaten and attack "infidels," even those in education. In 2002 Islamic extremist snipers amid a killing spree shot a 13-year-old boy outside a Bowie, Maryland middle school, and later they left a note for investigators that said "Your children are not safe, anywhere, at any time." Last year an Islamic radical at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill rented a Jeep and tried to kill fellow students for Allah. Islamic extremists have attacked schools and killed schoolchildren in Russia, Indonesia, Thailand and Iraq.

Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued an alert to police across the nation that foreign suspects tied to extremist groups had signed up to drive school buses.

What this means is that leftist academics now must prepare and train for attacks on them and the children in their care by people they can't admit as dangerous. What are they to do? Practice responding to generic attacks? That'd be a good idea, right? It would also help prepare schools for such attacks as happened last fall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where a man took over an Amish schoolhouse and shot 10 girls, killing five, and in Bailey, Colorado, where a homeless man took several hostages, sexually assaulted six girls before killing one of them and himself.

No, no, no. The answer at Burlington Township was to pivot back on the "fundamentalist religious zealot" part, but pretend the threat is from Christians. This solves every conceivable problem — that is, every problem conceivable to leftist academics (obviously, smearing and offending Christians isn't a problem). They get the necessary training in without the guilt or the scary missives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

Oh, and if they teach the kids to fear Christians, that'd just be gravy.
