PA Governor is giving $5 million to Muslim organization that started out as a ” house of worship” and will teach “Quran classes” at its K-12 private..

[buckeye]

That program is for students not attending a madrassah, such as those attending public school or homeschooling.

I swear the none that you morons try to learn about education in general you prove your own lack of education.

You know if you weren't such a dickhead, you might learn something.

Show me where there's anything scholastic in here:

It sounds like a lot of private religious schools.

LOL. Have you ever been to a private religious school?

It the Islamic portion of the curriculum you moron! That is for kids attending public, private, or homeschooling where they do not need religious instruction. Where does it say that it is an academic curriculum, which they must have BTW.

I have a Master's degree and certification that allows me to even be a school superintendent, deckhead! What are your qualifications, numbnuts?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

It the Islamic portion of the curriculum you moron! That is for kids attending the religious school. Where does it say that it is an academic curriculum, which they must have BTW. You should look at the source web site. They are a maddrassah. You do realize that academic teachers do not teach the religious instruction in religious schools?

I have a Master's degree and certification that allows me to even be a school superintendent, deckhead! What are your qualifications, numbnuts?

 

[buckeye]

It the Islamic portion of the curriculum you moron!

Uh, no, it's their entire curriculum and those are simply descriptions of the courses.

And of course it's Islamic. And you cannot show me anything beyond religion. Any subject is taught through their religion. Their own study noted how unprepared the teachers can be

. Can you read? Go back and read it.

Where does it say that it is an academic curriculum, which they must have BTW.

I agree in America they must have some academics to be accredited.

But so do inner city schools and the kids fail testing miserably. Show where muslim kids are exposed to the same curriculum and how they score on testing. I found and showed you a whole lot of religion with very little academics.

I have a Master's degree and certification that allows me to even be a school superintendent, deckhead! What are your qualifications, numbnuts?

And you're pretty much an asshole, too.

I am especially an asshole to ignorant fucks like you that think you know all kids of shit when you don't. Did you know that it is an Islamic school you cited? Do you live in Houston?

Most of the Muslims I know are doctors. They seem to have done well in their schooling or they wouldn't pass medical school.

I swear sometimes someone would take people like you to the woodshed for an attitude adjustment.

 

[Contumacious]

That is correct

 

[AZrailwhale]

Concur.

While I do NOT believe Truman had the right to steal Palestine -IN His OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT he CROSSED OUT the word Jewish State and wrote in "THE STATE OF ISRAEL"

View attachment 1100826

Truman had nothing to do with the creation of Israel. All the USA did was recognize the government the United Nations authorized to be created.

The USA provided a small amount of economic assistance in the first decade of Israel’s existance, but it was a tiny amount compared to the aid given to European countries during that time.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

That curriculum is for Muslim kids attending public schools or are homeschooled you moron! Please learn to read!

In muslim madrassas it is all they teach.

Bullshit! Where did you get that ridiculous idea? Do you think Jewish schools only teach the religion? You need to see a doctor right away!

I'm no legal expert, but it seems to me that this is a very clear violation of the separation of church and state.

I wonder what the ACLU would say about this.

Shapiro announces $5M grant to Philly Muslim community center

A record $5 million redevelopment grant will help a private school that blends Islamic teachings with a standard curriculum.

By Carmen Russell-Sluchansky

March 26, 2025

Gov. Josh Shapiro joined an iftar dinner at the Al-Aqsa Islamic Society in North Philly to announce a historic grant from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, the largest ever awarded to a Muslim organization.

According to Asif Hussain, chairman of the board of Al-Aqsa Islamic Society, one goal for the funds will be to expand the center’s school by adding classrooms and teachers to better meet local demand, increasing attendance from the current 300 to up to 3,000.

“The idea is to have an academic center of excellence at school,” he said. “We have a school that’s K-12. It is very, very small and we have more candidates and more students than we have classrooms. So the idea would be to expand the facility and actually develop it into a full-fledged academic program.”

Al-Aqsa Academy, a private Islamic day and weekend school, was established in 1996. The coursework blends Islamic studies, the Arabic language and Quran classes with a standard K-12 curriculum, including math, science and social studies. The school’s website says its mission is to “provide students with a safe, nurturing, and uplifting Islamic environment that will help them achieve academic excellence.”

Founded in 1989 by a group of Palestinian immigrants, Al-Aqsa Islamic Society began as a modest house of worship in a rented storefront. Over the past three decades, it has grown into a multifaceted institution serving hundreds of families, drawing worshippers and community members from across the city’s Arab, South Asian, African and African American communities.

I don’t think NPR and PBS would be praising this $5 million government grant if the private religious K-12 school in question was either Christian or Jewish.

Quite the opposite, in fact. They’d be claiming that it’s an unconstitutional use of tax money.

But since the religion in question is Islam, NPR and PBS think it’s a wonderful thing.

Wrong.
Government has been subsidizing Christian and Jewish schools all along.
Separation of church and state does not mean they can not work together, but instead just means you have to treat all religions equally. Which we do not do, since we illegally discriminate against Moslems.

For example, we lied about Saddam having WMD and murdered half a million innocent people in Iraq. We never would have done that to a Christian country.

Hamas obviously are freedom fighters trying to survive an illegal Zionist invasion, but we not only do not support or arm Hamas, and instead arm the illegal Zionist invaders.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Bullshit! Where did you get that ridiculous idea? Do you think Jewish schools only teach the religion? You need to see a doctor right away!

I actually took instruction at a mosque in California.

Jewish schools prepare students for participation in the world.

Islamic schools, also known as madrasahs, focus on a unique blend of Islamic religious studies and secular subjects. They teach core principles of Islam, including the Quran, the Prophet Muhammad's teachings, and Islamic history, alongside traditional subjects like math, science, and language arts. The goal is to provide a well-rounded education that integrates faith and learning, fostering both academic excellence and spiritual growth.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Islamic Religious Studies:
Quranic Studies:
Students learn about the Quran, its verses, and the principles of Islam as revealed in the Quran.
Hadith Studies:
The study of the Prophet Muhammad's sayings and actions, providing insights into Islamic practice and behavior.
Islamic History:
Students learn about the history of Islam, its major figures, and significant events.
Islamic Law (Sharia):
Some madrasahs may also teach Islamic law, which outlines principles for living a life according to Islamic teachings.
Arabic Language:
Arabic is the language of the Quran, and its study is important for understanding and interpreting religious texts.
Secular Studies:
Math, Science, and Language Arts:
Islamic schools also cover traditional academic subjects to ensure students are prepared for further education and careers.
Social Studies:
Some madrasahs may incorporate social studies to provide students with a broader understanding of the world.
Beyond Academics:
Character Building:
Islamic schools emphasize moral and ethical values, encouraging students to be honest, compassionate, and responsible.
Community Building:
Islamic schools often foster a sense of community and belonging, helping students build strong relationships with other Muslim students.
Parental Involvement:
Many Islamic schools actively involve parents in their children's education, creating a strong partnership between the school and the family.

Wrong.
The books clearly say they are only for sunday school and religious classes, and are not the entire curriculum.
You do not publish scholastic and religious culture in the same books.

PA Governor is giving $5 million to Muslim organization​

What did I say right after the elections...Democrats will NOT change in spite of the humiliating defeat and historic rejection by the American people.

Dems won't change, they can't they are run by the radical left and those MF'ers are insane. The left will see the Dem party reduced to ashes before they change one damn bit.

PURE UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT


When the UN Security Council REFUSED to consider the Israel Palestine issue their ONLY hope was that the US would agree to protect Israel by agreeing to send troops to the Middle East whenever an Israeli PM so demanded.
