A super-patriotic homeschooling Tennessee mom organized a protest Friday against what she was pretty sure is Islamic indoctrination of children in the public schools, although she pulled her own child out of the public school system last year because she didn’t want him tainted by the Common Core curriculum. The protest in Bristol, Tennessee, went off without a hitch, although the local paper notes that of the 109 people in attendance, only two of the families there actually have children in the city’s schools. Still, the protest was definitely a success, since it raised awareness of what the protesters are sure is a wave of Muslim indoctrination in the schools, even if there’s no such thing....

She’s also written a wonderful “children’s book” called What’s Right, featuring lovable patriotic rodent “Stumpy The Beaver,” who we guess likes America and Jebus, which will be getting reviewed by Wonkette pretty soon, God help us. On her own Facebook page, Kinkead explains that the protest was all about being a Christian Warrior:...

When Kinkead arranged the protest last week, she said that she hadn’t seen the course material, but was awfully worried about stories she heard from elsewhere in Tennessee, like some parents in nearby Kingsport who she said
were distraught because their children were asked to bring towels to school so the kids could do some prayers from the Islamic unit they were on … The parents asked me if there was any way we could raise awareness, that’s why I’m doing this. I feel like there should be a voice for the children that don’t have a voice....

Dr. Scott confirmed that, no, schoolchildren in Bristol are not bowing to Mecca, saying Muslim prayers, or driving around in scale model ISIS Toyota pickups with machine guns shouting “Allahu Ackbar!” She seemed pretty sure of that.

4. Protesting an urban legend

This is routine stuff for the right wing. I hear people repeat the strangest stories without ever questioning the source, or even if the details are possible in our universe. I can think of a couple examples. All mail boxes in the US are marked with a colored sticker to indicate to United Nations troops who is a True Patriot and needs to be sent to a FEMA camp. All illegal Mexican are give free housing and registered to vote Democratic. Fearful people need to be afraid of something, even if they have to invent it.

5. America: Slowly Replacing E Pluribus Unum with "Not The Onion".

Just some staggering levels of stupid there.

6. Proud of their willful ignorance.

To bad there's no way of making stupid like that immediately and excruciatingly painful to the stupid. If they got the jolt of the clue by four upside their head whenever they said something that dumb, there would probably be less of it

Edited to add: Wonder if they're related to this idiot.
