Secure Freedom Minute

Artemis II’s overflight of the moon’s dark side has gotten most attention. But the mission’s most important target is the lunar south pole. It happens to be that of the Chinese Communist Party, too. 
Who gets there first will likely determine who controls not only its water resources. They can be used to support a manned base and its operations, to make hydrogen for fuel for further space exploration and to project power from there to here.  
And that, unfortunately, is the CCP’s plan.
So the question is: At what point will the United States recognize this reality and ensure that it not only beats the Chinese Communists to the moon but is able to defend it, as well?

Tomorrow will be a fateful day for school-age kids in the state of Texas and for countless millions of other students across our country. Incredibly, one woman’s vote in the Texas State Board of Education will determine whether children in K-12 classes over perhaps the next ten years will be given the facts they need properly to revere America or, instead, be indoctrinated by those seeking her destruction. 
I will be among the witnesses testifying in favor of the pro-freedom social studies curriculum that Board member Pam Little and seven of her colleagues approved last year. Those expected to testify against it – and the standards developed to guide the relevant textbooks – will likely include employees and allies of a designated terrorist organization called the Council on American Islamic Relations.

Last year, Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and its Council on American Islamic Relations front as terrorist organizations. One might be forgiven for thinking that would put CAIR out of business, at least in Texas. 
CAIR’s business is supporting the Brotherhood’s sharia-supremacism and, in particular, its Palestinian franchise Hamas, a federally designated terrorist organization. 
Yet, CAIR is currently mobilizing with leftist allies an effort to dictate what children in K-12 public schools across the nation learn about America, denouncing an approved, standard-setting social studies curriculum in Texas as “Islamophobic” and “exclusionary.” 
Those aiding and abetting a terrorist organization like CAIR are on notice: By promoting sharia, a doctrine that requires the overthrow of the U.S. government, CAIR is by definition engaged in seditious conspiracy. Material support for such an entity could, and should, have consequences for all involved.

Next Tuesday, the Texas State Board of Education will cast votes with potentially profound and far-reaching implications for students across America. That’s because publishers sell nationwide the textbooks used to teach Texans’ curriculums.
So, if Texas’ State Board of Education sticks with a patriotic framework for K-12 social studies that it adopted last year and the standards that would implement it, kids throughout America will be equipped with factual information about, for example, our Founders, our Constitution and other founding documents, and the Judeo-Christian beliefs at their core. 
If, on the other hand, a designated terrorist group called the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and its leftist allies have their way, our children will instead be indoctrinated with political agendas inimical to our freedoms and values.

On March 3rd, 1.9 million Texans voted to prohibit sharia law in their state. Next Tuesday, the Council on American Islamic Relations intends to win a vote involving just fifteen people, insinuating sharia’s agenda into textbooks used in Texas and across the country. 
The occasion is an April 7th hearing and vote in the State Board of Education on whether to stick with its previously approved, pro-America curriculum for K-through-12 social studies or adopt a “CAIR curriculum.” It may be the most important battle in Texas since the Alamo, a structure that, according to CAIR’s version of history, was a tribute to Islam. 
Sharia-supremacists – like all totalitarians – know if they can indoctrinate the children, they can dominate the society. Texans and other Americans who don’t want a designated terrorist group like CAIR dictating what our kids are taught must say so now.

President Trump is now declaring that he has achieved “regime change” in Iran. It’s very welcome that that is, in fact, our purpose. So is Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s report that what’s left of the previous Iranian government is fracturing.
But the President is indicating that we are now dealing with government officials three layers down with whom we have not interacted before. He is suggesting that amounts to regime change.
Unfortunately, if such interlocutors adhere to their predecessors’ apocalypitic sharia-supremacist agenda, the inevitable result will be that the Iranian people remain enslaved and ours, among many others in the region and beyond, remain imperilled.
President Trump is right to seek regime change and to insist on new people leading the government of Iran that emerges from this war. But putting toxic old wine into new bottles will assure our defeat.
