DISGRACE IN BRITAIN – AT 6:42 P.M. ET:  It's hard to believe that this is the Britain that fought alone, with Winston Churchill at its head.  From London's Daily Mail:

A Christian teacher yesterday claimed he was forced out of his job after complaining that Muslim pupils as young as eight hailed the September 11 hijackers as heroes.

Nicholas Kafouris, 52, is suing his former school for racial discrimination.

He told a tribunal that he had to leave his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'racist' and 'anti-Semitic' behaviour of Year 4 pupils.

The predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class and described the September 11 terrorists as 'heroes and martyrs'.

One pupil said: 'Don't touch me, you're a Christian' when he brushed against him.

Others said: 'We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up', and 'The Christians and Jews are our enemies - you too because you're a Christian'.

Mr Kafouris, a Greek Cypriot, taught for 12 years at Bigland Green Primary School in Tower Hamlets, East London.

COMMENT:  I'm sorry to say it, but I'm afraid we're seeing some of this in American schools.  It begins in the left-wing colleges, then drifts down to the high schools, orchestrated by teachers who are graduates of those same left-wing colleges.  Although conservatives complain, they do little to stop it.  Conservatives are much too polite.
