The 'program' will suggest "art about tolerance." Any classes on how to disable a middle eastern man on an airplane charging the cockpit screaming Allahu Akbar (as happened in 2011)? Or what to say before jumping out a window to your death? I guess not.

Above 9/11/01 photos of people at World Trade Center windows either jumping to their death or knowing they will die in moments, posted 9/6/2010 by MSW: "Then the crowd let out a collective gasp, I looked to see the first of many people falling through the sky. The television stations and the newspapers downplayed this aspect of a day already filled with enough shock and terror, but I place great importance on it because it immediately human-ised the situation for both myself and those around me. This wasn’t just a burning building; it was suddenly full of people, friends, and family. For me, it is the most haunting memory of the day. When I focussed on what the crowd had noticed, I too let out a cry so involuntary and so primeval that I barely recognised it as my own. It was not a piece of building falling to the ground, but a man, recognisable by his flapping tie and flailing arms and legs as he fell through the air. The situation was surreal no longer; my body shook with shock, my knees buckled and a light-headedness overwhelmed me with such severity that I thought I was either going to throw-up or fall down.
I sat down and looked up only to see more people jumping. I thought for a moment that they might have fallen, but there were too many people, their arms windmilling as they subconsciously tried to fight gravity and avoid the inevitable. Haunted by these visions numerous times since the incident, I have tormented myself by trying to imagine the extreme conditions that those people must have faced that they should choose certain death by leaping from the building over clinging to any hope of rescue. What were they thinking when they jumped; what did they think on the way down?...But my fear is that to forget is to fail the lesson and lose the opportunity. That’s why this raw wound will never completely heal and that things can never go back to ‘normal’. Because even as a simple bystander I have a responsibility to incite change for the rest of my life or I watched all those people die in vain." the experiencejunkie.com by msw, 9/6/10, "September 11: Recalling my day at the World Trade Center"

Why would GOOGLE, a massive worldwide corporation be obsessed with blogs as minuscule as mine? Yes, I've looked into other blog companies.

The 'program' will suggest "art about tolerance." Will there be commemorative classes on how to disable a middle eastern man on an airplane charging the cockpit screaming Allahu Akbar (as happened in 2011)? Or the best prayer to say before jumping out a window to your death? I guess not.
7/14/11, "N.J. Schools Will Offer Lessons in 'Tolerance' About 9/11," Fox News
"Students in New Jersey, a state that lost about 700 residents in the Sept. 11 attacks, can soon get classroom lessons on the attacks, from the history of terrorism to the heroics of regular people.
Acting state Education Commissioner Christopher Cerf is scheduled to join with a volunteer task force Thursday to unveil a curriculum revolving around Sept. 11.
Implementing the curriculum, which features lessons for students from kindergarten through high school, will be voluntary and open to schools public and private, in New Jersey or elsewhere. Schools in France and Missouri have expressed interest, organizers say.
The curriculum seeks to look at many aspects of the attacks in age-appropriate ways, mostly leaving out the grisly images of the day. There are 56 lessons geared to different age groups ... The lessons recommend some kind of action. The suggestions range from creating art about tolerance to planning service projects to honor or remember people from their school communities."
