Muslims, like democrats, love using lawfare to destroy their enemies.

"Don’t like the negative portrayal? Then convince your fellow muslims to not do those things to their family members who convert."

"I have mixed feelings about this. I know I’d be bent out of shape if a muslim school teacher “converted” my child and don’t think it couldn’t happen to yours.... teen agers heads are full of mush sometimes, no matter how smart they may be."

The reality is that while not requiring worship, there can be no strict separation of church and state in which the latter does not essentially favor and foster religion, and one more than the other, reflecting that ot is founders and those who elect their interpreters. Thus if this were in 1960 that student would likely have been "subjected" official prayers and reading of the Bible in public school, and not schooled in the "religion" of "wokeism." Today, students are yet allowed to have Bible clubs and to evangelize, and while a teacher is not supposed to, yet they do engage in evangelizing liberalism, but which is protected under the biased judgment that as long as a deity is not involved then fostering faith-based (such as that the universe had no creator and sanctioning abortion and homosexual relations is good) ideological conversion is encouraged.

The moral laws of every country flow from what they believe, thus "Muslim women can now be banned from wearing hijabs at work, EU court rules."

"a former history teacher helped convert their daughter" --- That says it all to me.

Teens are allowed to discuss religion and make decisions. No parent gets to force their child to believe X - whatever X is. There is no right to silence, requiring everyone else to hide their beliefs so the child is only exposed to the parents’ belief.

“District 300 suspended Thorsen for 10 days and transferred him out of Jacobs to Hampshire High School before terminating his employment in August 2019....

That’s when their daughter confessed to the secret conversion and revealed a deluxe edition of the New International Version Study Bible given to her by Thorsen without any link to district-sanctioned curriculum. “

If a teacher had given one of my kids a Book of Mormon, could I sue? I think not! I could pull my kid out of school, but I cannot force another adult to hide their belief.

Just a few miles away from where I lived at the time a Moslem dad ran over and killed his daughter. Islam is like the Mafia. Once you join the penalty for leaving is death.

A public school teacher should not be converting children. The article said “former,” so I looked at that, not knowing the teacher was working for the school when he supposedly “converted” the student.

I have mixed feelings about this... ILLINOIS public school teachers have been converting children into anti-Christ LIBERALS for decades. How do you feel about that?

Well that’s quite the leftist woman stance.

// “They have implied in their communications (with our daughter) that we would disown, mistreat or even kill our own child because of her conversion to Christianity.

Well muslims do have a reputation for that sort of thing

Well at least the teacher didn’t convince the girl that she’s a boy.

They should count their blessings. At least the school didn’t convince their daughter that she is a boy.

Hopefully, the daughter now changes her name, goes into a protection program, and never sees her evil parents again.

Mom looks loving and forbearing.

Not.

The Christian club could be the main target. Was the daughter drawn to it herself, perhaps finding Islam unconvincing, and maybe also the one who first expressed concern herself over her parents’ possible reaction to her conversion?

Payers for the parents to find Christ and be saved too are entirely appropriate.

“They have implied in their communications (with our daughter) that we would disown, mistreat or even kill our own child because of her conversion to Christianity. I cannot tell you how offensive and hurtful this is,”

It’s true, though. Their psychopath “prophet” commands them to kill her. And it sure as hell wouldn’t be the first time it’s happened.

The best resolution is for the parents to accept Jesus as their savior, repent, and seek a Christ filled life. Their current path leads only to their eternal doom.

Did this teacher ‘convert’ her?

Or did The God of The Universe convert her?

The penalty for staying in Islam is far worse.
