Schools Closed After Uproar Over Arabic Calligraphy Lesson

A central Virginia school district has cancelled classes Friday after concerns over the "tone and content" of calls and emails received about a lesson in Arabic calligraphy.

Augusta County Public Schools, near Staunton in central Virginia, will be closed after the district received "voluminous phone calls and electronic mail locally and from outside the area" about a high school World Geography class lesson, the district announced Thursday evening.

In a lesson Friday on the Middle East, students were presented with an Islamic statement of faith written in Arabic calligraphy, superintendent Eric Bond told The News Leader.

"The students were presented with the statement to demonstrate the complex artistry of the written language used in the Middle East, and were asked to attempt to copy it in order to give the students an idea of the artistic complexity of the calligraphy," a statement Bond gave the paper said.
The statement was not translated into English, and students were not asked to "translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief," Bond said.

A parent organized a forum Tuesday night about the lesson, calling it "indoctrination" in Islam, The News Leader reported.

More ignorance, hate, and stupidity.

We can only hope such individuals constitute but a very small minority.

You can thank Islam for this overreaction. Like blacks demanding the resignation of a DC employee for using the word niggardly.

Imagine an art class being taught how to properly draw one of these:

But, of course, with no explanation of how it might have been used in the last century.

Now WHO could possibly be upset by that?

I would say you have a point libtard if wht the students were asked to write was not Islamic statement of faith. You fail. I would pull my kid from that class.

A school banned Huck Finn.

but that's ok

a school banned Santa and the Pledge of Allegiance

but that's ok


How is it ok, you may be asking

well, I don't know, I'm not a leftist pile of shit, so I can't figure out that kind of hate.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

They can't teach the Palmer method of English penmanship, but they can teach Arabic calligraphy.

Go figure.

 

[Davros]

World Geography should be taught in 7th and 8th grades. High schoolers should be learning Western History over 3 semesters, US history over 3 semesters, US Government, and Economics. High school minds need to be learning the fundamental concepts that make our society tick. They should be preparing to become informed voters, not Muslim calligraphers.

Bunch of rednecks in central virginia.

The regular folks are getting fed up with PC bullshit.

Christians only want their story told.

If you start telling other stories it undermines your story.

Maybe they should teach American English.

Not to engage in braggadocio, but the Catholic ELEMENTARY schools I attended dealt with ALL that and more, save economics.
