This is the Daily Caller, as reported by the World Nut Daily (the same bunch that claimed the Pope quit because "Obama's gunna give 4th graders free birth control and take religion out of schools". The story is obviously made up nonsense. Look at the remarks. Every one of them believes the story. Makes my head hurt.

“I do not necessarily agree with this,” the teacher also allegedly said, “but I am supposed to teach you that we are not to call these people terrorists anymore, but freedom fighters.”

At the end of class, the teacher assigned a paper about Egypt. A student explained to WND that the topic of the paper was “how Egypt was a good country until democracy took over, and that things were finally corrected when the Muslim Brotherhood came into power.”

3. It's funny that this stuff keeps happening in Texas

The school board should stop trying to put "Man and Dinosaurs coexisted" into their books... if this story is true. And it's not.

4. Supposed to have happened in Lumberton.

That's deep East Texas redneck country. I'm reasonably certain that wouldn't get much traction over there.
