Visit our News page Tucson schools taking MB-tainted money! It’s bad enough that countless colleges and universities have accepted hundreds of millions—perhaps billions—in grants from Saudi entities. It’s bad enough that the textbooks used in public schools are typically laced with egregious errors, omissions, and outright historical falsehoods on the subject of Islam.

Two Tucson schools, Safford K-8 Magnet School and Cholla High Magnet School, will be the recipients of the terror-infested cash, according to Tucson News Now.
