Listen To The People

The recent poll conducted on this blog asked the question: Should U.S. Public Schools align their curriculum to that of Mexican education standards? 100% of the respondents said NO. The poll was initiated in light of my blog entry of last week, "Remember The Alamo".
I know the majority of the readers to this blog probably lean more to the Conservative side of politics. However, that being said, I strongly feel that the majority of everyday you and me citizens of this country feel the same way. This is the United States of America; a melting pot made up of people from all cultures, backgrounds, creeds and colors. But the fact is over the 200 plus years of this countries history, we have evolved into a culture all our own. We are a melting pot. That means that immigrants, brought some of their own customs and traditions to "The New World", but they have not tried to turn the United States into their native country. they melted into our unique culture.
We are not Mexico. Spanish is not our primary language and it's time some politicians with a little spine spoke and up (in English) and laid it out the way it needs to be laid out. If you want to live in a Mexican culture or Muslim-style society, maybe this isn't the place for you. We welcome many of your traditions and customs, but don't try to turn the United States of America into Mexico City or Tehran.
