Wow. That was a powerful report Ichy. A few things stood out. Of course at the top of the stand outs was ...

"Khawaja! Khawaja! Khawaja!," the children shout ... parade of children sing and dance and beat drums"

That's wonderful.

Another important point is the point you made about people wanting to be fed a different history than the white centric history. Like you I disagree that there should be a separate history curriculum for each sub-culture. Become a historian if you want something that specific and this is what the Western libraries, unmatched any where and at any time in history have been put together for. I would encourage a balanced presentation of history in our schools, let's face it the John Wayne style saga was not a fair representation of AmeriIndians, but it is what we grew up believing. There was a sociological report that came out in the fifties that claimed when Indian children played "cowboys and indians" on the reservations, they all wanted to be the cowboys.

Another thing that struck me as I read that article was that if "White People, White People, White People" was shouted in some parts of the world, it wouldn't bring out singing and dancing it would bring out AK-47s. Why is that? It is because in some parts of the world only extremely biased and negative propoganda about white people is reported, seen, talked about, and spread among the people. Much like the sponsor of this thread tries to do with regards to Muslims.
