A public high school has been accused of radical Islamic indoctrination by forcing children to profess the Muslim statement of faith, ordering them to memorize the Five Pillars of Islam and teaching that the faith of a Muslim is stronger than the average Christian, according to a federal lawsuit filed Wednesday.

Thomas More Law Center filed the lawsuit on behalf of John and Melissa Wood. They accuse La Plata High School in Maryland of subjecting their teenage daughter to Islamic indoctrination and propaganda. And when Mr. Wood complained – the school banned him from campus.


quote:

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.”

Based in the details presented the school and the parents who are suing both look ridiculous.

Such BS. They probably mentioned the word Islam in a class along with other religions and this patriot hero wannabe parent went all bonkers.

According to the article:

"The Shahada is the Islamic Creed, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”

The Thomas More Law Center said that for non-Muslims, reciting the statement is sufficient to convert one to Islam."



Does this mean that I just converted to Islam because I read that line in the article???

Sarcasm intended. That author of that article isn't a journalist. I can't believe a single word of an article published in the FoxNewsOpinion that was written by someone whose writing style shows a clear bias.

Surveys have probably confirmed that objectively. And there aren't too many Christians willing to strap on a C-4 vest in the name of Jesus.

It seems odd that we would want to keep our children in the dark about the biggest challenge now facing Western civilization. Our ignorance of other cultures seems to be a badge of pride for many people.

Dumbass Trump voter cannot grasp the concept that learning an idea is not an endorsement of said idea.

That's as bad as the statists and humanists forcing Evolution/Statist doctrine on kids. Keep all religion out of school.

Look at the Southern Poverty Law Center website and you will see they abstained from participating in the law suit. They list LGBT rights and Muslim rights as their new frontier to protect. On the extremist watch pretty much anyone who has a conservative view is an extremist and dangerous.
