your opinion. but what is the 'difference' your belief makes in the classroom?the difference also is Jesus was/is real and God, allah is a false moon god that does not exist.
It was a history lesson.I'm wondering why a public school is teaching religion.
If they are teaching religion in public schools, it should be stopped by whoever is in charge of the school.
I can't believe you think that there are secret muslim conversions happening in schools. And that Islam is the only religion taught in schools. Even for a total loon that's impressive.
How was your latest trip to the closet with your rope? Remember David Carradine and don't be careless.
nobody was required to 'confess' anything.I can't believe you think that there are secret muslim conversions happening in schools. And that Islam is the only religion taught in schools. Even for a total loon that's impressive.
This is a court case. The facts of the case include that children were REQUIRED to confess the Shihada. This isn't speculation or innuendo, it is fact.
.
an ignorant parent made ignorant claims in an attempt to keep his daughter ignorant. then, when he threatened the school, the school sought out and was granted a restraining order.
why is anyone championing the idiot parent?

Should refusal to confess the Shihada in public school be grounds for expulsion, or do you leftists demand beheading as your ISIS allies do?

This character made threats to the school and was told to keep away. Its not really a story and its a shame that the school should have to spend time dealing with an ignorant bigot who even scares his own kids.

just because the plaintiffs claim it doesn't make it true.nobody was required to 'confess' anything.
Well you're a fucking liar, you must be a democrat.

The First Amendment
prohibits the
promoti

the religion of
Islam
over other
faiths, such as Christianity or Judaism,
in our public schools.
2.
The
United States
Supreme Court has held that our public schools should not
promote
a certain religion
over others
:
“School sponsorship of a religious message is
impermissible because it send
s
the ancillary message to members of the audience who are
nonadhe

are insiders.

United States
Supreme Court precedent
does not create a double standard that
allows for the promotion of Islam in our public schools while disallowing

This case, therefore, seeks to protect and vindicate

concerns about the desecration of their Christian
beliefs and
heritage and the promotion of

also failed to mention that Defendants

Defendants only allowed students to take home the first textbook
that did not
extensively cover or devote a se

.
6.
Defendants
patently
rejected the

discriminated against
Plaintiffs’ daughter, C.W., by
removing her from
the academic environment of her World History class,
relegating her to the student

issuing

because
C.W.
refuse

that Muslims hold stronger faith convictions than Christians

Defendants require that students write out and

Defendants, however, do not
treat
Christianity in the same manner

Defendants
do not require

nobody had to confess anything. why do you make such a silly claim?
yeah. dumbasses are using the word 'confess' where it does not apply. what's your point?nobody had to confess anything. why do you make such a silly claim?
The students, the complaint says, were required to “write out and confess the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith.” The legal team notes the shahada states, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
“For non-Muslims, reciting the statement is sufficient to convert one to Islam,” the complaint says. “Moreover, the second part of the statement, ‘Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,’ signifies the person has accepted Muhammad as their spiritual leader. The teenager was also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam.”
Not only did the district refuse permission for C.W. to opt out of the religious assignments, it imposed grades of zero.
your opinion. but what is the 'difference' your belief makes in the classroom?
There is no evidence his threats consisted of anything other than contacting the media and a lawyer. Stop presenting unproven allegations as fact. And no, they aren't gaining a 'rounded view' of Islam, they are being fed pro Islamic propaganda.This character made threats to the school and was told to keep away. Its not really a story and its a shame that the school should have to spend time dealing with an ignorant bigot who even scares his own kids.
What is more interesting here is the way that groups are trying to politicise education. What is obvious from a brief glance at this board,and this thread, is that Americans need more knowledge of Islam and other religions in order to form a rounded view of the world and its history.
I would suggest that school is a better forum for that than some nutjob internet site.

Well you twist my words in a primitive way. When did "not knowing" become a desirable trait ?This character made threats to the school and was told to keep away.

So the democratic - socialist party is on record demanding Islamic proselytizers in public schools.
Hey, it's not like you filthy fucks are traitors, oh wait, yes it is...
