BBC: Mickey Mouse expelled from Egypt schools
Children in a province north of Cairo may face the new school year without familiar Disney characters to cheer them up, it's reported.
The governor of Qalyubia has decreed that cartoon images of Mickey Mouse and his friends on the walls of pre-schools must be replaced by "military heroes", the Youm7 news site reports.
"We need to replace pictures of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with images of famous Egyptians and military martyrs, so that children will look up to them as role models. These characters are US-made, whereas we have our own noble figures who can deepen children's patriotism and love of country," Alaa Abdul-Halim Mohammed Marzouk told reporters.

From the posted article
"We need to replace pictures of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with images of famous Egyptians and military martyrs, so that children will look up to them as role models.

Fred would never draw the 'Banyard Battle' with fez's or turbans and promote it in a big way in Egypt.
Poor Fred is wrong on so many things like Global Warming
"Germany has decided to expand an existing open-pit coal mine, Europe’s largest, by subsidizing the razing of a 12,000-year-old forest"
"Japan plans to remove its modest renewables subsidies while aggressively expanding fossil fuels — it is adding 40 coal stations to its existing 100."
Soon Al Gore will be considered just another greedy, grabbing, avaricious Democrat like all the rest of the DNC.
... and a compulsive liar
Fred is always wrong. thank the good lord he has such smart people who spend their time calling him names...
one thing though:

BECAUSE YOU IN YOUR WISDOM AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE KNOW SO MUCH MORE
Did not the soviet ban Micky mouse and other ( capitalist symbols) , i think this is a common between all militaristic gov.
Once again the innumerate one, who can barely wear shoes, picks his shamans, partisan ones.
This from a guy when it was suggested he take a few hours a day for 6 months to learn calculus, because it would be a personal grown and enrichment thing, could only reply "FU!"
What is more important, posting nude pictures of women on the internet or learning calc?
(And we wonder why so many Democrat politicians, media titans, and Hollywood moguls fall to the #MeToo movement")

Reading through the above link and I wonder is FL knows what a mosquito district is.

FL does not have to know the science. He could look where countries are putting their money. Hint, it is not in renewables.
It is not in renewable subsidies anymore. $$$ talks. BS walks. Renewables is doing a lot of walking.
China is building enough new coal plants to match everything in the U.S. The alrmists/warmunists said if we did not cut cola use we would all die. Here is China doubling down and where are the protests? Right, those pressure tactics only work in Western Europe and Norte America.
I do not hear those, who are so concerned screaming at China. Did Kathleen Rest give it a rest when talking to China about AGW? The liar must have.
BLAME THIS ON OBAMA AND THE DEMOCRATS TOO
Fred,
Sade to say that is the Democrats fault too. The war in Afghanistan should have been over a long time ago (i.e Track should not have had to go). Many Democrats did not support that war. Many gave it perfunctory lip service until the weather vane moved again.
I also like how you argue from the particular to the general.
Did you take philosophy in college?
Did you pass it?
I was going to make a comment on this article, but after reading the comments already posted, I have to ask WNU Editor: Don't any other intelligent people read your blog?
Fake Smith is now Fake Anon...the bookkeeper is so proud of his basic math skills so he can but over and over make girly remarks about my skills. note, moron: I have CPA's take care of my math needs, not small time accountants.
Yo! girly bookkeeper
Only a CPA? You better do one better and get a CMA!
I never met an accountant who wasn't a CPA. That must be a new thang.
There is more to math than what is used in accounting. Math is more important than just for counting money.
Here you opine about things scientific and the most use you have for math is to find an accountant.
I just don't see how a person with your mindset could pass the 6th grade nowadays except by being socially promoted.
So refreshing to see you really have no position, nothing to say, but simply to girly boy make snippy remarks about me or others...true sign of little child hanging about with nothing to note but Look At Me please Look At Me...I am so phucking clever...why does no one like me? why must I conceal my real identity and am afraid to come out of the closet? oh, I know. So I can stalk those who are not afraid to do so and I can stalk them to find out about them and then call names...my hobby since I have worn out my dick with self abuse
Fake Smith? Is that me or one of the other millions of Smiths in the phone book?
Fake Smith. Good one. Honestly, no offense taken. I got a kick out of it. And on top of this, I was going to only type in "Poor Fred" as I first read through the carpet bombing to which you have been subjected in this string of comments. Instead you get a few sentences [and sympathy] more from me. And....I didn't talk about my bees again.
Roger
All ad hominem attacks.
Anything Fred doesn't like he attacks within 10 minutes. He must be monitoring the thread like a hawk.
All work and no play makes you a dull boy.
