I think Islam is silently (and sometimes not so silently) being integrated into the minds of our kids. If they grow up hearing and learning about it, then many of them will accept it. If so, we are toast.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-74792000467488142592013-02-28T12:48:45.836-05:002013-02-28T12:48:45.836-05:00Morning - yes, we registered the passing of Van Cl...Morning - yes, we registered the passing of Van Cliburn. One of my husband's idols when he was young and learning to play the piano. He was from Kilgore, Tx, just down the road from us here in Tyler. I didn't know much about him, but you've given a great amount of history here - going back to read again! Have a great day!Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13163430.post-87218267016586534412013-02-28T10:44:25.497-05:002013-02-28T10:44:25.497-05:00Mr. Cliburn was a true talent, through and through...Mr. Cliburn was a true talent, through and through. I wish I could play a musical instrument like that but that takes real dedication of which I am sadly lacking. Speaking of which, the pro-Muslim teacher needs to be FIRED. Honestly, folks, take your kids out of the public schools. (Whaddya expect!? It's the government!) All they'll get is indoctrinated with Left-wing propaganda.

It was so exciting and beautiful.
