Also, how much do you want to bet that if someone disagrees with Juan's ideas, they get labeled as "racist" for purposes of his experiment?
As a former teacher, I shudder at the paltry "education" and faux "experiments" that "teachers" like Juan perpetrate. If this is an experiment, what is the hypothesis? What is the control? All i see is race-baiting. You can't call something an "experiment" when you are trying to force the outcome. The fact that he is then trying to shovel the manure down the throats is impressionable minds is pure, unadulterated malpractice.

Imagine dedicating years of your life to studying and building up the litany of degrees needed to be a NASA engineer only to be told after you were hired that you won't, in fact, be working on the space program - you will be part of NASA's new Muslim outreach initiative.
Jesus also taught that the poor should follow behind the farmers in the field gathering their own food. Jesus taught parables of proper money management and the perils that come from misusing what you have. Jesus taught charity, but not state-mandated charity. In fact, the best kind of charity, according to Jesus, is the kind that comes from the heart and not from a mandate.

Coincidentally, America is by far the most charitable country in the world and has done the most good internationally. Obama has only sought to stifle that by removing tax benefits from those who chose to give. Giving to receive a benefit may not be the most noble reason to give but why would the government want to put an end to it?
So if your one double standard is in that one case, I assume you would have no problem, then, with protesters holding signs saying "Kill Obama," "Shoot Obama," "Obama is a Murderer," "Hang Obama," etc.? You probably wouldn't have a problem either with shots being fired at the Obama headquarters in Knoxville? I'm sure you'd be fine with someone keying a car with an Obama sticker, smashing the window, and leaving a note that "Obama is a f***ing MORON." Now that shoe-throwing has been deemed an expression of political protest, it is completely fine to throw a shoe at the president, right?
Out of curiosity, do you think it would be alright if some conservative filmmakers got together and made a film depicting the assassination of President Obama and the benefits it would have to our country?

"Oh, yes, I know you are for LESS GOVERNMENT and wholesome American values! Well, that solves everything!"

Actually, wholesome American values have solved more than government ever has. America is the single most magnanimous country in the history of time. We give more of our time and money for charitable organizations than the rest of the world put together.

Obama's decision to tax charitable donations has been the single biggest detriment to charitable organizations we have ever had. Does he think he can do better with our money than we can?

You can blather all you want about conservatives' adherence to traditional values and limited government but actual history and facts show that there isn't a more giving...

I guess the flaw in our thinking is assuming they can read. I'm sure Arcee won't respond, just furthering the theory.

If you want real science, hunt down Markus Kemmelmeier's study that shows no correlation between political views and IQ.
