U.S. Department of Education Indoctrinates Students Into Islam
Christian Action Network ^ | March 28, 2017 | Marty M

PRESS RELEASE: U.S. Department of Education Indoctrinates Students Into Islam

Christian Action Network (CAN) has sent a “Letter of Demand” to the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) mandating that it cease its Islamic education program for the nation’s public schools. The DOE Islamic education program is currently being presented to the nation’s schools and teachers through the PBS LearningMedia website.

If the conditions of its “Letter of Demand” are not met within 60 days, CAN will bring a federal lawsuit against the DOE challenging the constitutionality of the federally funded program.

CAN is also issuing a “Letter of Demand” to the Public Broadcasting Service demanding that it also remove all Islamic educational material from its PBS LearningMedia that violates the U.S. Constitution.

Martin Mawyer, president of CAN, says, “Much of this so-called educational material is nothing more than indoctrinating students into Islamic religious beliefs, duties and actions.”

“It doesn’t appear that the either DOE or PBS LearningMedia offer similar instructional material on Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism or Hinduism through the PBS LearningMedia website,” says Mawyer.

“The DOE Islamic education program is not only a certain violation of the U.S. Constitution but a brazen and underhanded attempt to indoctrinate children into the religion of Islam,” Mr. Mawyer stated. “It must be removed immediately.”

Among the contentious material being presented through the DOE Islam program are worksheets, questions, activities and media that steep children into the world of Islamic worship.

Children are asked, or told, to complete such assignments as:

“…explore and understand the basic beliefs of Islam as well as the Five Pillars that guide Muslims in their daily life; belief, fasting, almsgiving, and pilgrimage.” “…focus on learning about the core duties of Muslims…” “…read about what it means to proclaim faith or belief as a Muslim.” “…watch the two streaming video segments about prayer preparation and the set of movements for prayer.” In addition, students are expected to correctly understand and answer such questions as:

“Describe the process that Muslims go through to prepare to pray.” “What do the prayers sound like?” “What do the movements look like?” “What are some of the things Muslims say during prayer?” The lesson plan is designed for students in grades 5-12.

Activities include having students “create a poster about the Five Pillars to be displayed in the classroom and around the school…” and “have students speak with Muslims...about how they fulfill their duties as outlined in the Five Pillars and how these practices fit into their busy lives…” Teachers are also asked to have their students “meet with Muslims in your community to learn about their religious practices and views.” Mr. Mawyer said, “This Islamic educational program fails as an appropriate lesson plan for the public schools. It has little or nothing to do with understanding the history of Islam, its contributions to society or its impact on social norms.”

CAN is also releasing a short documentary film called, “Islam in the Schools: A Quick Look,” that not only examines the DOE Islam program but other Islamic indoctrination programs and activities happening in the public schools.

CAN will also be sending FOIA requests to the DOE seeking information on which schools have downloaded the Department’s Islam lesson plans, federal funds spent on its creation and distribution as well as individuals and organizations responsible for developing the program.

This one of the most APPALLING interviews I've seen on news TV for a long time, probably the most because it concerns our innocent children and it involves our tax dollars.

Everyone reading my post should go up-thread to #2 to view the link to Tucker's interview. It goes fast as it's loaded with totally unsettling information.

Kudos to Tucker tonight and also to Hannity who followed him. They had hard-hitting, up-to-the-minute revelations and they didn't mince words.

What a great one-two punch these two patriots are.

Please watch the clip and ping me to your observations.

Indoctrination into Islam is no different than the indoctrination into satanism which goes on in all the other classes. ALL curricula and ALL Common Core is indoctrination into idiocy and ignorance and satanism (vice) since they normalize irrational concepts like Heather has two mommies and other concepts where Natural Law (our Constitution) is thrown out the window so no common sense or wisdom will ever exist in our children.

Wisdom is the ability to discern Good and Evil and our children are having vice made into virtue as I type. They will grow up to be as dumb as indoctrinated muslims.

The WHOLE system is rotten and has to go. Particularly the Dept. of Education. Local control of everything, esp. curricula. No promotion of evil, irrational belief systems like islam, hinduism, satanism since our Justice System and Educational system only promotes truth and justice (virtue). No vice should be allowed to be normalized in our children-—like sodomy and baby-killing. That is the promotion of satanism, a religion.

All signs point to DeVos being golden, but how she misses this I really don’t understand. I believe she is thought to be Christian, perhaps devoutly so, I don’t recall how broad her Christian credentials were nor her Christian support, but she came off dumb as an oxe in the hearings. However, she reportedly has poured truck loads of her husbands money into conservative causes. Maybe that was enough.

Conservative Christians generally still, to this day, find nothing quite alarming enough going on against their children to ever pull them out of public schools. You hear or read about isolated examples, but broadly speaking we trot them right back to the front door steps.

We have moments of outrage but a boycott of Public Education has been due, and over due, and well earned for decades. Now see where we are.

Time for my tagline, again. :/

I saw both shows, the first time they aired.

I doubt that the majority of the populace know about this, nor do they apparently care.

The libtards imagine that the Muslims won't harm them that's because they are insane.

So glad this is being reported.

Our precious children need to be free of this insanity.

The domestic enemy within.

These bastards in DC swear an oath to protect the U.S. from all enemies, foreign and domestic.

They have broken their oath and must face consequences.

I watched the link at post #2 again and am even madder than before. It’s too late for me to call our sons (back east) but I sure will tomorrow to find out if this is going on in their schools.

The guy was right about what the ACLU would do if Christianity was being taught. We can’t let *them* become the majority. It sure looks like political correctness is going to be our downfall. Can’t be labeled as “racist”.

Tucker’s show seen this evening. Much damage done with BO’Bs terms in office. Not have we raised snowflakes, we’ve failed the children in not teaching them the basic laws of the 10 Commandments.

Betsy DeVos, DOE is your chosen occupation now. The honeymoon is over; time to get down to brass tacks.

This cannot stand, and you know it.

Question is, do you have the guts to do the right thing?

I agree. Then we learn yesterday that billions.. yes billions of our tax dollars are going to IVy League schools.

IT’s got to stop, Folks.

A billion saved here, a billion there. Pretty soon you’ve piled up a nice chunk of change.

I love our president.

PS-You are true patriot, Leni!

Thanks - that’s it in a nutshell. Rendering them from early childhood totally unable to tell right from wrong, good from evil, lies from truth, reality from fantasy. Ruins them.

I was just thinking this morning - many of use (I’ve been talking with my oldest friend, known her for more than 45 years) - and we grew up when the Lord’s Prayer was recited in schools (for a few years anyway), when there were billboards that said “Families who pray together stay together”, when divorce was rare and shameful, when all our friends had a married mother and father in the home, when trans this and homo that was not even something we ever heard about. Now for the last how many decades, children have grown up with poison administered to their growing minds and hearts via education, entertainment, music, “news”, library books (do they read still?), games etc.

It’s a totally different world.

BUT - I read here and there, that more and more of the youngest generation - teens and 20s - are turning conservative.

“BUT - I read here and there, that more and more of the youngest generation - teens and 20s - are turning conservative.”

I am witnessing the same thing. The left has spoon fed us evil for decades, but NOW? They are SO evil and SO perverted that young people look around and say enough is enough. Thank God for the internet. You CAN find truth and “the good” all over the internet.

The Dept of Ed must be eliminated... it serves no purpose except to feed the wonders of the oligarchy to unfinished minds eager to learn.

I have told my son for years they do not want separation of church and state ... they want to destroy Christianity. 'nuff said.
