Can schools teach Islam?

[church mouse guy]

"A Christian parent in West Virginia has voiced outrage after his seventh-grade daughter brought home a packet from her social studies class this week that includes a page asking students to practice writing the Islamic declaration of faith in Arabic calligraphy."

This happened a couple of days ago at Mountain Ridge Middle School in Gerrardstown, West Virginia.

Students were asked to write: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

Maybe Trump will abolish the US Department of Education and call on states to give every child a voucher to attend the school of his choice.

We all can think of children who attended Madrasas and who did not learn anything.

Only in the context as a world political force or another type of religious belief. Asking children to look at themselves as a Muslim is according to them a violation of the Constitution. What would the left say if kids were asked to think of themselves as one of the 12 Apostles? There would be howls of outrage from the ACLU and others.

Can schools teach islam?

Yes. It's illegal, but they can, and some will, until they are outed and stopped.

Now the teacher has said that she never assigned the student to write the shahada, which technically might be considered making oneself a Muslim.

Pamela Geller calls what this school system in West Virginia tried to do "The Mosqueing of the Public Schools."

Pamela Geller supplied the link to the materials that the West Virginia school system was using. The particular assignment was about page 122. There were no exercises in Christianity or Judaism assigned that reached the level of the assignment on Islam.

Apparently the infamous Islamic Society of North America, a terrorist Muslim Brotherhood front headquartered in the town of Indianapolis suburbs, is the source of the funding and political pressure to use these garbage materials in the public schools. I wouldn't be surprised if Grover Norquist is not involved somewhere in the background to all this and these people got into the Bush administration and common core.

Now the people in West Virginia are making death threats against the parents and children who lodged the protest against what this teacher had assigned. No wonder the word Islam means Submission in English.

My children went to a mixed race/religion state school in Hounslow, where white Christians are a minority.
Religious teaching was on the level of "comparative religion" & visits to religious establishments.
The only problem we had was when one son wrote about Hindu false idols, & the teaching challenged him, saying their religion was not false to them.
The head of RE apologised & transferred him to another teacher.

The OP is a very serious abuse of position. Official action should be taken against whoever authorised it.
