Some of these U.S. school districts are either cowards or slaves to Islam

[Tilly]

The lawsuit, filed in federal court, alleges that students spent only one day studying Christianity and two weeks studying Islam.

“During its brief instruction on Christianity, Defendants failed to cover any portion of the Bible or other non-Islamic religious texts, such as the Ten Commandments,” the lawsuit states. “Instead, the class included disparaging remarks about Christianity and the Pope.”

Students were also allegedly instructed that “the Islamic religion is a fact while Christianity and Judaism are just beliefs.”

“Such discriminatory treatment of Christianity is an unconstitutional promotion of one religion over another,” Thompson said.

“United States Supreme Court precedent does not create a double standard that allows for the promotion of Islam in our public schools while disallowing and silencing teachings of Christianity and Judaism,” the lawsuit states.

Repeating bullshit doesnt actually make any of it true. I would quietly walk away from this one if I was you.

You do a lot of slinking away from threads where you've made a jackass of yourself. You have proved that you are happy for us schools to get children reciting Islams conversion creed under the pretence that has anything to do with history, whilst they basically ignore the bible. They are forcing islam, not Islamic history, on children in public schools, and no matter how much you like that, there are many that don't and it is unconstitutional, as will be demonstrated.

High schoolers had to recite Islamic prayer in class, make prayer rugs as homework..

..Ron Wagner of Longwood complained to a local TV station that his 15-year-old son was required to recite an Islamic prayer as part of a world history class at Lyman High School. The students also had to make an Islamic prayer rug as a homework assignment, according to Wagner, who said lessons like that don’t belong in public schools.

"There’s a difference between teaching of the significance or the impact of a religion and teaching the specific tenets of the religion," Wagner told WFTV on Feb 9, 2015...

Seems parents everywhere are getting peeved. And since when do you need to memorise and recite Islamic conversion creed in order to understand history? particularly when the bible isn't even looked at when dealing with Christianity.

As seen on Fox and Friends



Tennessee parents are voicing their concerns about a middle school history assignment in which students were asked to write "Allah is the only God."

Brandee Porterfield joined "Fox and Friends" this morning, saying she has no problem with her seventh-grade daughter learning about Islam as part of world history, but believes time should also be devoted to Christianity.

"They did this assignment where they wrote out the Five Pillars of Islam, including having the children learn and write the Shahada, which is the Islamic conversion creed," she explained.

Porterfield said she spoke with the Spring Hill Middle School teacher and principal, who said there would not be similar lessons on Christianity and Judaism.

She said she reviewed the state standards and there are upcoming lessons on Hinduism and Buddhism.

Unlike the lessons on Islam, however, Porterfield said students would not be expected to memorize a creed dealing with those religions.

"They don't study any other religions to this extent. ... It is the state sponsoring religion in schools. They're not going over anything else. For the students to have to memorize this prayer, it does seem like it's indoctrination," said Porterfield.

Outrage against Christians: Public schools in US shun Christianity, welcome Islam.

Christians are up in arms against what they perceive to be a radical and sudden transformation of the American public school system where Christianity is being eased out of children's education and replaced with Islamic "indoctrination."

In its latest report, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) said students in US public schools are now being forced to learn how to convert to Islam and recite "Allah is the only God."

"It's Islamic indoctrination right here in our schools," the organisation said.

Several concerned parents in Tennessee and other parts of the county have been in touch with ACLJ and raised concerns over the things their children are being taught in school. Brandee Porterfield, one of the parents, told Fox News that her seventh grade daughter is learning about Islam as part of world history in her class at the Spring Hill Middle School in Maury County, Tennessee.

"They did this assignment where they wrote out the Five Pillars of Islam, including having the children learn and write the Shahada, which is the Islamic conversion creed," she explained.


When she approached the Spring Hill Middle School teacher and principal and asked if there would be similar lessons on Christianity and Judaism, she discovered that the upcoming lessons are only on Hinduism and Buddhism. The only difference in the future lessons is that the students will not be memorising a creed dealing with those religions.

However, Maury County school officials insist that the public schools have committed no constitutional violations, stating that they merely "covered some sensitive topics" that "caused some confusion."

The ACLJ could not disagree more. "That's outrageous. The indoctrination of students with the precepts of converting to Islam and forcing them to recite 'Allah is the only God' aren't 'sensitive topics;' it's unconstitutional," it said.


School officials added that Christianity will be taught once students reach the "Age of Exploration" in the eighth grade. By then, students will learn about Christians persecuting other Christians in different countries in Western Europe, they added, in a transparent display of their bias against Christianity.

But that's not even the worse of it. One parent from Williamson County, also in Tennessee, said his son was forced to recite things in Arabic without even being told what they meant.

Meanwhile, students in Madison, Wisconsin, were given an assignment to "pretend you are Muslim."

In Florida, students were tasked to recite the Five Pillars of Islam as a prayer and perform Muslim rituals.

"Suspiciously, the textbook discussing Islam had chapters missing. Which chapters? Those on Christianity and Judaism," the ACLJ noted.

"To put this in perspective, imagine the outcry from the ACLU, Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), and other leftist and angry atheist organisations if a study guide stated, 'Jesus is the Son of God,' and forced children to recite the Lord's Prayer. These organisations would be beside themselves claiming indoctrination of our public school students," the ACLJ said.

The conservative, Christian-based organisation is calling for the protection of religious liberty and a stop to Islamic indoctrination. The ACLJ said it is now taking action against schools that censor Christianity and promote Islam

EDUCATION
Public School Parents Angry After Middle Schoolers Instructed To Write ‘ALLAH IS THE ONLY GOD’

...Porterfield talked to the teacher about the situation, according to Spring Hill Home Page. Porterfield said the teacher “was not happy about” having to focus on Islam and skip Christianity but felt she had no choice but to teach to the government-mandated standards.


Other Spring Hill Middle School parents are also upset about local kids writing “Allah is the only God” as part of a taxpayer-funded school assignment.

“To me, a Christian child should not be made to write that,” Joy Ellis, another seventh-grade mother, told the Herald...

...
However, it appears that Tennessee students don’t study Christianity per se. There is not, for example, one class day dedicated to the basic Jesus story.

Hanvey promised that students would eventually come across a reference to Christianity when history teachers reach the “Age of Exploration” in eighth grade. Then, students will hear about Christians persecuting other Christians in some countries in Western Europe

Any of you libtards seeing the problem yet?

yes. the problem is ignorant parents hoping to keep their children just as ignorant as themselves. the problem is 'conservatives' being so afraid of muslims that they perceive a lesson on the basic islamic beliefs as indoctrination and proselytizing.

yes, i see the problem

Religion in the public schools, libraries, etc.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS

Religious teaching in the public schools is limited because of the first phraseof the first Amendment of the U.S. Constitution -- the establishment clause. It states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." This clause has been interpreted by the courts asrequiring a wall of separation between church and state. That is, the government (and by extension, the public schools) must remain neutral on religion. As a rough rule of thumb, they may not:

1. promote one religion or faith group over any other.
2. promote a religiously based life over a secularly based life.
3. promote a secularly based life over a religiously based life.

Perhaps the most publicized aspect of this wall of separation is that the courts have ruled that mandated school prayer within the classroom is unconstitutional. If a school board prepared a prayer for its students to recite, it would not only promote religion over secularism. It would uphold a specific religion - perhaps even a specific division within a religion. For example, a prayer directed to Jesus Christ would support religion over secularism and Christianity over other religions. A prayer that also talked about salvation and the horrors of Hell would represent the beliefs of the conservative wing of Christianity. Even a generic prayer that addressed God in vague terms would be unacceptable, because some religions and ethical belief systems do not believe in the existence of a personal God; meanwhile others believe in multiple deities. Still others believe in a female deity -- a Goddess. From the students' point of view, mandated prayer would be seen as evidence that the state sponsors the beliefs and practices of a single faith group.

Knowing what the FIve Pillars are is not the "Islamic conversion creed". Taking a quiz on Early Islam is not the "Islamic conversion creed"....learning about the life of Muhhamed is not the "Islamic conversion creed".

Just like learning about the early Catholic Church and the Great Schism isn't becoming a Catholic.

This past December a Virginia school geography class required 9th graders to learn Arabic calligraphy by writing out the Muslim statement of faith, “There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Students practice calligraphy by writing There is no god but Allah | Fox News

Parents told The Schilling Show that their children were not given the translation of what they were writing.

In other words, there were more than likely a few Christian teenagers in that room who had no idea they were writing, “There is no god but Allah.” But the school district doesn’t seem to think that’s a problem.

“The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief,” the district stated.

They said it was all about the art — not about the theology.

“They were simply asked to attempt to artistically render written Arabic in order to understand its artistic complexity,” they stated.

This is a joke. You want to teach art or calligraphy you do not have to use these all important words of Muslim faith to teach it. Especially given how freaked out the secular liberals and ACLU get just hearing the word God or Jesus anywhere! To someone who does not care about God or who is not a Christian, this is no big deal. To someone who knows better, it is a big deal. Hence, the outrage.

The hardcore Left have effectively made the decision that Islam is to be the PC-protected religion. So they're just following through on that decision.

We can therefore expect that, in the future, with every example of murder and carnage and rape and beheading and threat perpetrated by jihadists, they will obediently deflect to the evils of Christianity and/or scream "Islamophobe". They will also defend virtually anything that happens in this area on college campuses.
