Conservative dad threatens ‘sh*tstorm’ if daughter’s world history class includes Islam

There is no Islam in American history?

Shhhh - it's a secret

Islam In America History Detectives PBS

Interesting, I read the whole thing and didn't see one contribution to history of the US made by Muslims. I guess you could say that they made a contribution to the US when their Muslim brothers sold them into slavery but that is a stretch.

Conservative dad threatens ‘sh*tstorm’ if daughter’s world history class includes Islam

An angry father has been banned from a Maryland high school’s campus after he made vague but ominous threats against the school because his daughter’s history homework mentioned the Islamic faith.

BayNet.com reported that La Plata High School in Charles County, Maryland has issued a No Trespass order after parent Kevin Wood — a former U.S. Marine — called the school and threatened to disrupt classes if his daughter’s world history class continued to study the religion and its impact on human history.

Wood reportedly telephoned Vice Principal Shannon Morris last Thursday enraged over a homework assignment which dealt with the formation of Middle Eastern empires centuries ago. History teacher Katie O’Malley Simpson said that the history curriculum has never been considered controversial in the past.

It's got to be genetic, Conservative stupidity.

You agree with him right? Or are you forgetting about keeping religion from the classroom?

There is a huge difference between teaching the historical significance and effect of a religion, and teaching that religion.

Is that what they were teaching? You know that? What if a teacher tried to teach the historic significance of Christity? I seriously doubt that the left would be quiet.

That said, without a google can you tell me one thing historically significant that the US gained from a Muslim, because they were a Muslim?

To be specific YOU are being stupid. Accusing ALL conservatives is closed minded and ignorant. Got it?
Read carefully...
If the course is WORLD history, the parent is wrong. If this is AMERICAN history, the parent is correct.
Now, there is no reason why students cannot study about Islam as it relates to the history of the world or that of Eastern civilizations.
However, too often study means indoctrination. Or at least to cast a culture or nation into a light that is absent of facts for the purposes of political correctness.
Our public schools have been roundly and justifiably criticized for offering students inaccurate or sanitized information.

There is no Islam in American history?

Of course there is.

Muslims sold slaves to the US.

Muslim pirates did and still raid US shipping.

Muslims flew planes into tall buildings.

Muslims set off bombs at Boston.

OBL was a Muslim.

Lots of Muslim history.

Insisting that parents should have the right to take their child to a PRIVATE school where they can control educationl material


But what you posted about Muslims is wrong,

What motivated the 9/11 hijackers? See testimony most didn't

For example, when reviewing the Renaissance and Reformation, students study the concepts and role of Christianity. When learning about the development of China and India, students examine Hinduism and Buddhism."

Second of all, since the class in question is world history, it is not limited to things solely of historical significance in the US.

Damn right. Any Conservative without hate of cancerous Islam in his heart is rare indeed.

Hate is ok....but ignorance is not ok.

Did you ever take world history?

 

[bodecea]

I don't blame him in the slightest. Teaching religion has no place in a history class. Separation of church and state.

So...religion has nothing to do with history?

 

[bodecea]

You should see some of the crap in modern "social studies" texts.

Such as? I am a "hands on" parent. I've looked in every social studies (and other subjects) text book my daughter ever had.

 

[bodecea]

The history of Islam should be studied.

For the same reason Nazism and Leninism/Stalinism should be studied.

And the Inquistion. And the KKK.

It's so nice to see the Right not flocking to a subject about Muslims and stereotyping them.

Oh, wait...

What is wrong with the stereo typing? They are exactly as one would think they are from the terrorists down to the minimal believers.

g5000 is the typical sheeple who would welcome Sharia Law. That is until they have to lay their head on the chopping block.

Actually, we have ONE member who had very clearly stated he would like Sharia Law in the U.S. His quotes are in my signature.

===============
what is there to study, everyone should already know by now that islam/muslimes are the worlds worst enemy, unless of course some people.., like libercrats, have been living in a rotten stump in a wilderness far, far away should know by now those people (?) and their ******* religion should be eradicated from the surface of the Earth !!

why do liberfools and dummycrats defend this we always hear from the leftwing of utter stupidity ????

Let's see, you want to wipe a religion from the face of the earth. Where have we heard this before? Perhaps just last century? Itr's interesting that you see Nazi values in line with your own.

Next, you ask why should we study Islam. Are your best decisions made before or after you have studied the situation? Is study too hard? Does study ask too many hard questions and use too many big words? If you answer yes, you fit right in with the education policies championed by the extreme far Right Wing. You want to make history into something it's not. I'm guessing that you would like to make science study into something it is not as well.

Willful ignorance, thy name is Conservatism.

I would love for you to show where I said anything of the kind.

The class in question (from the OP) is world history. And they are specifically discussing the formation of middle eastern empires. That means the discussion of Islam, since it was a major force in the formation of some of the empires.

I bet if we talked about the Umayyads, the Abbasids, and the Seljuk Turks they'd give us blank stares.

 

[Skylar]

Wait....HISTORY is now offensive to some conservatives?

Holy shit....I thought the bizarre anti-intellectualism of the fringe right had peaked with suspicion of Romney and Huntsman because they spoke foreign languages.

 

[JFK_USA]

The guy is an idiot:

“I told her straight up ‘you could take that Muslim-loving piece of paper and shove it up your white [expletive],” Wood said on Monday. “If [students] can’t practice Christianity in school, they should not be allowed to practice Islam in school.”

Studying Islam is not "practicing Islam". What a dumb ****.

No shit. They are learning about what Islam is and not practicing the faith. They studied the history, when it was created, what Muslims believe, what are the Five Pillars, etc. Our culture is Christianity and most of what Christians believe is common knowledge, we don't know a lot about Islam. It's important to study what the religion is for over a billion people and not ignore it.

 

[Clementine]

Perhaps it would help if you had read the entire article and not just jumped in with a knee-jerk reaction to the word "Islam".

from the OP link:

"
“This is a world history class,” Simpson explained. “We are not teaching religion. Part of those world history studies involves the economics of a region and part of that is the religion which relates to the economy of that part of the world. In the Middle East, Islam is the only religion and it contributes greatly to the economics of the region.

In the overall scope of things, she said, Christianity is taught in segments about the reformation in Europe, along with Hinduism and Buddism.

“At some point we do comparative religion,” she said. “Religion is a big part of world history.”

Charles County Public Schools issued a letter to parents explaining their stance:

"Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) social studies curriculum adheres to the Maryland World History curricular standards that are a requirement for all counties in the state. These standards include an analysis of the elements of culture such as art, music, religion, government, social structure, education, beliefs and customs in societies throughout history. Regarding the study of history specifically, the standards also state that students should be able to analyze the customs and beliefs of world religions and their expansion, as well as how their establishment has impacted other areas of culture, and in certain times and regions, even caused conflict.

"The particular unit in question at La Plata High School is on the formation of Middle Eastern empires in which students learned the basic concepts of the Islamic faith and how it, along with politics, culture, economics and geography, contributed to the development of the Middle East. Other religions are introduced when they influence or impact a particular historical era or geographic region. For example, when reviewing the Renaissance and Reformation, students study the concepts and role of Christianity. When learning about the development of China and India, students examine Hinduism and Buddhism."

You need to read more articles on this from various sources. This one favors the school and gives their explanation and paints the father as some kind of lunatic. Another articles posted shows the actual homework the girl bought home. Nation of Islam is getting quite involved in our schools and their objective is to paint Islam in a favorable light by claiming that they "are kind to those they conquer" and leave out the horrific things done in the name of Islam. Just the fact the they believe in conquering others is a red flag, though the schools are delving into that. Islam needs to be talked about since it is actually the government in many Muslim countries and is an extremely oppressive way to rule over people. The worksheet talked about the women's role, though didn't get into the way women are mistreated and treated as mere property of the men. I just wish they'd be more honest about what goes on.

The teachers also need to talk about the Holocaust and how Muslims want to rewrite history to say it didn't happen. I have yet to hear any criticism from the left regarding the Muslims' disregard for facts in history.

 

[ScienceRocks]

As long as they teach that Islam is a violent religion hell bent on controlling the entire world. Well, it should be ok.

Good for him. You idiot libtards think it's alright to teach satans religion, Islam, but not Christianity, the one truth. What a bunch of scumbag idiots. Libtards stupidity.

I believe government schools should be abolished - parents should be able to control educational material.

How much have you participated in the education of your children?
