Terror Response Training or Pointless Bigotry

Today a New Jersey public school held a terrorism drill. The purpose of the drill was an admiralbe one...to prepare for a possible attack by religious extremists. The problem is that the drill was completely divorced from any reality that you and I live in as Americans. Worse the drill probably did more harm than good because the "terrorists" in the drill might just as well have been members of the Mickey Mouse Club. That organization certainly seems like a gang and just look at what famous alumn Brittney has done to her hair.

I promise we can all sleep soundly in our beds tonight knowing that there is no organized group or disorganized group of right-wing fundamentalist Christians anyhwere in the world that advocates violence and certainly not violence against school children or random violence against Americans. Sure there are the occasional abortion clinic bombers or the Timothy McVeighs of the world but those are individual nuttters acting alone. They are not and never were part of some sinister clandestine terror cell of sunday school teachers that is waiting in the shadows to perpetrate violence on school children in New Jersey.

Our children would be better served being told to look both ways before crossing the street rather than having to live in fear of the quite girl named Ruth that wears big glasses and brings her bible to school. After all, don't most Americans claim to be part of the Christian faith?

The secular progessive school administers in New Jersey may think this was a clever game but we must all ask ourselves, "why we are waisting our time and tax dollars making up bad guys in order to further a secular worldview?" After all there are plenty of real bad guys out there that promise every single day that they are going to kill us. They live and breathe for nothing else. Maybe we should spend our time being vigilante against real threats instead of creating new ones.
