Yikes, now its WMI's
WARNING!!

NEW TERRORIST GROUP

At New York's Kennedy airport today, an individual,
later discovered to be a math teacher was arrested
trying to board a flight while in possession of a
ruler, a protractor, a set square, a slide rule, and a
calculator. At a morning press conference, Attorney
general John Ashcroft said he believes the man is a
member of the notorious al-gebra movement.

He is being charged by the FBI with carrying weapons
of math instruction. “Al-gebra is a fearsome cult,"
Ashcroft said. "They desire average solutions by means
and extremes, and sometimes go off on tangents in a
search of absolute value.

They use secret code names like "x" and "y" and refer
to themselves as "unknowns", but we have determined
they belong to a common denominator of the axis of
medieval with coordinates in every country." "As the
Greek philanderer Isosceles used to say, there are 3
sides to every triangle," Ashcroft declared.

When asked to comment on the arrest, President Bush
said, "If God had wanted us to have better weapons of
math instruction, He would have given us more fingers
and toes."

4. Yep
Secretary of Education Rod Paige likened the NEA to a terrorist organization.

I am one of those terrorists (NEA), so you better watch out!

3. You're welcome....
...teachers who teach the truth are considered terrorists here in Florida, the testing ground for Bush's war on public education under his brother Jeb. FCAT and vouchers is already gutting over 10% of community school budgets and turning that money over to private schools. School prayer, creationism and the outlawing of evolution teaching are already in place in many Florida school districts.
