Bolden's Muslim Outreach Feedback Continues

Obama chooses path of submission, opinion, news-journal.com
“NASA is now primarily tasked with making people feel good about math and science, and in particular the Muslim world. No longer is it concerned with manned space flight, no longer is it charged with increasing our knowledge of the universe. It is charged with making everyone in the world and in particular Muslims feel good. The excellent news about that is it should not take nearly as much money to do this. We will no longer need to invest in rockets or spaceships. It is all about feelings. Perhaps, NASA can be combined into the Department of Education or the State Department.”

“Nowhere in the act was NASA assigned the responsibility to expand international relationships or reach out to “the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science and engineering.” However, according to a recent interview NASA Director Charles Bolden gave to AlJazeera, that is exactly what President Obama informed him the space agency’s foremost mission was to be.”

“When did it become the NASA administrator’s top job to “reach out” to the Muslim world and make them “feel good?” In the past, NASA administrators were busy managing their agencies, but not Mr. Bolden. He is our ambassador to the Muslim world, speaking for President Obama. In the interview, Bolden sounded more like a politician or a diplomat than a NASA administrator.”

“So President Obama has charged NASA chief Charles Bolden with the crucial mission of finding a way to reach out to the Muslim world to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math and engineering (“NASA’s crucial missions hijacked by liberal agenda,” Page B9, Thursday). How condescending. I have read that Arab schools stress these achievements and rightly so. They don’t need the U.S. to tell them to be proud of their heritage. Let’s let NASA get on with the mission for which it was created.”
