State Department Supports Muslim Education: Americans Can Expect Less

The U.S. State Department has developed and begun to issue a free computer game where a "Muslim population makes it a logical place for success," according to an article in Government Computer News. The game, "X-Life: Driven," puts the Muslim player in the role of a youth, male or female, with a scholarship to a fictional Pennsylvania university. According to Ali Manouchwhri, CEO of Metrostar Games, Muslims will learn that the U.S. will have an Islamic Student Union in an American University to make sure they are comfortable in America. The goal of the game promotes the values of global citizenry. Middle Eastern Muslim students are reportedly embracing the game and learning how to attend U.S. universities.

A thorough examination of the game play and website did not reveal anything American about it. There is no mention of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, or any other traditional aspect of American history, culture, or life. The gamer does not learn anything about America except how to attend an American University.

Meanwhile, according to a survey conducted by this nation's most important newspaper for post-secondary education, The Chronicle of Higher Education, 62% of the chief finance officers at four-year colleges responded said they did not think the worst of the financial pressures on their institutions had passed. Nearly two-thirds of them worry that 2010, 2011, or 2012 or later, will be even tougher.
