An Islamic group has been banned from visiting classrooms in Seminole County schools after officials said it crossed the line between telling students about the Muslim culture and pushing its religion.
The flap over the Academy for Learning Islam's visit to Lake Brantley High School also has caused the school system to re-evaluate who it lets into county classrooms to present educational programs and what they can talk about. By fall, teachers will have stricter guidelines.
Speakers on religion, drugs, alcohol and nearly 50 other touchy topics will get closer scrutiny before they can speak on campuses, Superintendent Bill Vogel said.
"We got complaints that their presentation moved from cultural diversity to a religious focus," Vogel said.
A similar run-in between a school and Islam occurred this week in Friendswood, Texas, when Friendswood Junior High Principal Robin Lowe was removed from her job after allowing an Islamic group to address an assembly of students.

What about the "Japanese Death Cultist(s)" Cult....they'll demand equal time.
We have a bizarre fascination with inviting the enemy into our midst in America and in Europe. It seems that we desire to be destroyed. And, we’ll get our wish: this sickness in Western society is going to prove fatal one day.
What really bothers me about all this, is that any sort of diversity training is going on at all in our public schools.
No wonder so many kids can’t read and write when they graduate — time is being spent on cultural things, so not enough time is available to spend on the three R’s (and REAL history, of course).
This cultural stuff is what parents are for, not the school system. We shouldn’t even be spending time buying into the premise that diversity training is acceptable. These teachers have appointed themselves the arbiters of what’s right and wrong. Nothing good can come out of that.
I learned everything I need to know about islam on 9/11.

The Courts and Educators all over the country have decided to keep any thing dealing with Christianity out of the schools under seperation of church and state, etc.. Why are they going out of the way, and violating their own laws and policies to make exceptions for the Muslims?
