Memorial High School in New Jersey has come under fire after it allowed two Muslim students to proselytize for their religion in multiple classrooms and allowed banners invoking the Muslim god Allah and urging students to celebrate Ramadan to be hung on school grounds.
According to the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF), an organization that does pro-bono legal work to defend conscience rights and constitutional liberties, Memorial High hung two district-sponsored Ramadan posters on school grounds. One of these posters exhorted students to Have a blessed Ramadan and added May Allah Continue to Shower [sic] You Love and Wisdom A second banner urged students to celebrate in fancy silver lettering and wished them Happy Ramadan! and May this month be filled with all that is good.
A public school district would never hang posters praying for Jesus Christ to shower students with love and wisdom, asserted FCDF Executive Director Daniel Piedra. Apparently the Lefts notion of the so-called separation of church and state only applies to Christians.
The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund sent a cease and desist letter to Memorial High Principal Scott Wolhrab and Superintendent Clara Brito Herrera demanding that the posters be removed immediately. Attorneys for the school district responded just two days later, writing to the FCDF that the poster(s) that may have been deemed legally impermissible in a public educational setting have been removed from Memorial High School. But that was not the end of the story.
In talking with a concerned teacher at the school, the FCDF learned that in addition to the posters, officials at Memorial High also allowed two Muslim high school students going class-to-class during school hours, interrupting lessons, and trying to convert students to Islam under the guise of teaching them about Ramadan. The students also created massive bulletin boards promoting Islamic religious practices and inviting students to learn more about the benefits of being a Muslim which were sponsored by the Dawah Committee of their local mosque.
The explicit mission of the North Hudson Islamic Educational Centers Dawah Committee, as noted on its website, is proselytizing for the Islamic religion by sharing the guidance of the Glorious Quran and the mercy of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) with our neighbors and friends and empowering Muslims to be advocates of the message of Islam.
The Memorial High students who undertook this mission chronicled their efforts in a post in an online Islamic forum. In that post, titled Ramadan in the Public Schools, the numerous ventures of the Muslim students to spread the word of Allah in their public school were documented and praised.
"Jazaakum Allahu khairun way to go! We congratulate Sr. Nour Hasan and cousin for their outstanding dawah educational awareness in the Public Schools. We pray that other students and parents will follow suit in the near future. May Allah subhanahu wa taala reward them manifold. We also thank Memorial H.S. for their kindness and inclusivity of our Muslim students."
The post also detailed the students activities to promote dawah educational awareness through bulletin boards and class presentations:
"The NHIEC Ramadan in Public School Package [see above, the School Outreach Ramadan Kit 2019] was helpful. I also contacted Project Eid Awareness. Sr. Marjana sent me a banner a white one you can see in the pictures.
"I did the Bulletin boards which I have the presentation slides on. When I asked the school if I could hang a banner up the school made their own banner that they put in the entrance of school.
"I did the presentation in 5 different classes: 3 History, 1 English and 1 French class. One was a freshman class and the rest were 10th grades. I made goody bags that had candy and I asked questions. Afterwards, I gave out the treats to whoever answered the questions. I also made some Arabic sweets for one of my classes. No one else helped in the presentations except for my cousin. She did the one about the traditional food and stuff that we have during Ramadan."
In the wake of the controversy, the post appears to have been removed.
For years, courageous Americans have been sounding the alarm about the threat of Islamic indoctrination in Americas schools, only to be smeared as Islamophobic, anti-Muslim conspiracy theorists, commented FCDF Executive Director Daniel Piedra. What is transpiring in this school district is no doubt a conspiracy, but the blatant Islamic proselytizing here requires no theorizingit is fact,
The FCDF issued a public records request to the school district in an effort to uncover further details about the unconstitutional Muslim proselytizing that was allowed to occur at Memorial High, but the district denied that request as unclear and overly broad. In response, FCDF plans to file a complaint with the state of New Jersey to force the district to hand over their records concerning the Islamic proselytization.
"We are determined to hold the West New York School District accountable to the students, parents, and communities they are legally obligated to serve. Once we obtain this information, we will work closely with students, parents and advocates to ensure the Constitution, not Sharia law, is the final authority in the District," FCDF executive director Piedra asserted.
“Separation of Church and State” (which isn’t in the Constitution) now means “Stomp out Christianity”.
Again - you NEVER see the Freedom From Religion group challenging Muslim proselytization or Muslim teaching in schools.
They are insane or paid off?
Fire them all and close down the school.
Did any student speak up and tell the teacher he is a violent, sick man for allowing Islam recruiting??
Good question. I wonder if any of the students, were allowed to tell the muzzards that they didnt want to listen to their bullshit.
Islam is a war plan
Any school that allows this crap needs to be decertified, knocked down and bulldozed into the dirt. And this goes not just for all the islamophile crap, but all the transgender crap, race card crap, socialist crap, etc., schools have been brainwashing our children with for the last century.
Teachers and administrators need to have their licenses revoked, their children put up for adoption, their homes confiscated, and they themselves need to be intensively deprogrammed and reeducated constantly during their 30-year prison stints at hard labor. They’ve been shoving this crap down our throats long enough. Time to shove back.
I think after doing that in earnest for a century or so, liberalism will go away, once and for all. Win, win. And payback.
Cue the ACLU in 5...4...3...2... Wait, they’re talking about muslim’s so we can’t do anything. And when they say they’ll cut our heads off for blaspheming the prophet, they really mean it and will do it. Christian’s, we’re not afraid of Christians. Muslim’s are a different ballgame.
You do have a point, in that, it’s the parents and local taxpayers fault. They’re the ones that vote for school board and all those other positions like city council or county commission. For the most part, the elections that effect people and their wallets the most, whether it be property taxes or out of control development at the hands of local politicians bought and paid for by developers and the like. This whole thing could end tomorrow if the people were willing to do something about it.

Their Allah never had a son. ~Sura 23.91
The Principal in the article, Scott Walrab was in my fraternity. I’m kinda of surprised, but I haven’t talked to him 20 years. He was a great guy then and pretty good athlete. Scott graduated from Rowan Univeristy, formerly Glassboro. Henry Rowan endowed 100 million $ in 1992. At one time it was known as Glassboro Teachers College. I would say probably 15-20 percent of the students enrolled at the time I was there as education majors. The mascot is a owel named Prof, We played in two NCAA d 3 championships, 92 & 94, I had a blast and earned a priceless BA in Economics
A NJ state university producing NJ public school educators, in NJ!
They let the most violent, intolerant, abusive, heretical “religion” free reign over “the chirren”, while at the same time introducing them to depraved sexual practices that Muslims often punish by violent death. The only logical conclusion is, if it’s from the pit of hell, they’re all for it. Which tells you a lot about the people running the schools.
The Left is after nothing but power. This is just more proof.
Muslims are not the only ones we need to deal with. their godam hypocrtical enablers as well.
The spirit of antichrist at work.
Islam denies the deity of Jesus Christ and denies that He is the only Messiah.
Because it isn’t Christianity... I guess that’s why.
More mature Christians have to snicker at this kind of nonsense, because they know it’s going to fail in the end.
Benefits such as forced conversion, beating your wife, abusing young boys and girls, marrying you sister, suicide bombing, etc?
