Ah Spring

Or rather, ah... the Spring Concert is over. This year's concert was a tribute to the music of the countries in the Middle East, even those who due to their lunatic fanatical theocratic rulers have outlawed music all together... Maya's group sang songs from Sunnis controlled Turkey and the the 3rd graders gave tribute to Turkey's blood-lust neighbors to the southeast, Shiite controlled Iran. No mention was made of the Muslim oppression of women and their repeated declarations to kill us but... hey it's Spring, maybe its best not to think about these things. All and all it was a nice concert, and the Saint Paul School system seems doggedly steadfast in its desire to create the next generation of citizens who can one day grow up and drive around with "Imagine World Peace" bumper stickers on their VW Jettas.
