Dreams of a Saudi Princess

Teach my children to think! exclaimed the beautiful young princess. Theyve had enough facts, facts and more facts stuffed into their heads in our public schools. She dreamed that her children would be able to speak and negotiate with leaders of countries from around the world as they assumed their eventual roles in governmental leadership. She dreamed that her children would be able to lead Saudi Arabia into the future. Unlike the Wahhabi and Hanbali clerics who considered the faculty of reasoning to be evil, she realized that a Western education was consistent with her Islamic faith stating that American schools taught students how to think without telling them what to think. The Andersons didnt realize at the time how astute the statement was but would soon learn as they became immersed in the Islamic world of Sharia law.
