I don’t know if this is meant to be a witch hunt, but all of the religions — Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism — they’re being taught in the schools,” Fakhruddin told WSMV

He's a filthy liar. I have two college degrees from Tennessee schools and my children graduated high school there. He's a liar.

I'm stunned at what's happened to the Volunteer State.

Isn’t there one teacher who could supply the info on the side?

Great point. And of course, they "could." The better word is "would." I find it hard to imagine there isn't one honorable teacher in the whole state.

And, if you do that (meet the Muslims’ own criteria for becoming a Muslim) but don’t actually live as a Muslim, you become apostate. Right?

Now’s a good time for Obama to amend his will——

Common Core: Even classroom education has not escaped the tentacles of the Muslim Brotherhood. The connection between Common Core and the international terror group is through, once again, Qatar. The Connect All Schools initiative is a program to promote “One World Education.” It is aligned to Common Core State Standards, and is funded by the Qatar Foundation International (QFI). The director of QFI’s Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics is Tariq Ramadan, grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder, Hassan al-Banna.

These schools aren’t teaching the history of islam they are making children recite a muslim pledge. Imagine thes school asking children to say they accept Jesus in their lives & repent of sins...

****

Great image at the top of the Daily Caller page too!

Exactly right! And once they say that pledge - the Shahada -— they have been converted.

What it does include ….. is the Shahada and the Five Pillars of Islam. The Shahada is an Islamic creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet. It is recited to convert someone to Islam. That’s right… they are actively converting your children to their religion.

They do fear their jobs. My husband, who taught for 24 years didn’t fear losing his job by being honest and following the actual law regarding religious discussion in the classroom. He is now unemployed.

We learned a few things. One: the union isn’t really as powerful as everyone thinks. They only take action if you are fired, he opted for a settlement with his resignation as he didn’t want to work there anymore after what they did to him. Two: liberals hate conservatives with a burning passion and have no qualms about trying to destroy someone they disagree with. Even a nobody like a small town teacher. The principal lied and cheated but she and the superintendent (who is rumored to like her...a lot!) controlled the narrative from the beginning. Sort of wish he hadn’t taken the settlement because it includes a provision that he agrees not to sue the school district or its employees.

One nasty thing she did is tell all staff that they weren’t allowed to talk to him at all or they would be considered insubordinate and be dismissed. Had anyone talked to him and started piecing things together, her fraud would have been uncovered. As it was, they were all fearful and obeyed until after he resigned. So, yes, teachers are afraid and act like sheep. The ones who aren’t, like my husband, find themselves in trouble.

The principal lied and cheated but she...

Flame me all you want, however...

I happened to think of this the other day; when I was in school (50's and 60's), all the principals were men. Even in elementary school.

They were disciplinarians. They were generally fair and no-nonsense-type people.

Today, I read one story after another about insane policies in America's schools, and invariably, the principal is a woman. A Liberal woman.

One nasty thing she did is tell all staff that they weren’t allowed to talk to him at all or they would be considered insubordinate and be dismissed.

With the exception of a few Conservative women; most women are totalitarians. If you want to know what the world would look like if it were run by women - look at the schools.

Oh, and by the way; teaching Islam to America's students is treason. Period.

most Islam converts are black,

A truly amazing fact, but true. Islamics in most parts of the world are perfectly O.K. with taking black slaves......PATHETIC.

If you repeat the shahada 3 times, Muslims say you have become a Muslim. This is proselytizing.

I just tried it...no turban appeared, I have no intention of cutting off anyone's head, and I have no intention to rush to Mecca for the hajj.

tell CAIR that it didn't work.....and I still don't like burquas.

The Islamic Mosqueing of Public Schools in America

This is incomplete info and may be deliberately misleading. When you learn "about" something, you learn stuff like this. This passage makes it sound like the girl is being forced to believe Muslim oaths. I don't know if she is or not, but you can't tell from this article.

There is no reason, none whatsoever, for middle school students to learn the teachings of a mideastern "religion".

To learn where it is practiced, how it is spread, how it effects society is acceptable....not much else.

I will guarantee that no one in the class can name the 9 supreme court justices, don't know the number of U.S. Representatives, can't name their own state and U.S. senators and representatives, have no idea of who their chief of police and sheriff is, have no concept of what is or how many counties are in their state, and NONE OF THEM KNOW WHERE THEIR PRESIDENT WAS BORN NOR HAVE ANY IDEA OF WHAT HIS COLLEGE GRADES WERE......just saying.

Parents should send every child to school with a video recorder running from beginning to end of school day. Or request that technology be installed in every classroom so that parents can log in and monitor their children. They do it in day care centers. Schools love new technology so much, they should love this.

“Over percent of the residents of Tennessee identify as Christian, according to a 2014 Pew poll.”

Seems to be an important number missing from this sentence.

A spokesman for the Islamic Center of Nashville, Rashed Fakhruddin, said he thinks both the ACLJ’s open records request and the claim that schools are teaching too much Islam are preposterous.

Of course he would say this. Is it reasonable to think he would say that Islam teaching has no place in public schools? Really?

It should be obvious to all that their MO is to usher in as much Islam as they can, all the while putting a benevolent moderate face on it.
