The parents of a Maryland teenager have launched a lawsuit against their daughter's public high school, claiming the district forced the 16-year-old to take classes that promote Islam over Christianity and Judaism.
John Wood, a former Marine, and his wife Melissa Wood, have filed a civil rights complaint against La Plata High School, alleging their daughter - identified only as C.W. - spent one day in a modern history class studying Christianity, followed by two weeks immersed in Islam.
According to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail Online, the 11th grader 'had to profess the Shahada by claiming ''There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.'''
'Such discriminatory treatment of Christianity is an unconstitutional promotion of one religion over another,' President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center Richard Thompson said.
Thompson claims that, for non-Muslims, reciting such a statement is the equivalent of converting to Islam.
He also said the school failed to clearly make known to students and their families that a study of Islam was to be part of the world history curriculum.
Students were also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam and were subjected to disparaging teachings about Christianity, the Woods claim.
'The course also taught false statements such as Allah is the same God worshiped by Christians and Islam is a '''religion of peace'',' Thompson said in the filings.

Islam is a war plan.
Islam is a war plan.
The Crusades are on again.
Were the children required to recite the Nicene Creed or Shema Israel? Moreover, what has reciting professions of faith to do with the study of history?
A deserving response to a depraved ideology.
I’d go further and nail schools for indoctrinating kids to believe in global warming.
Maybe they should hold a baptism for the Moslem students, and then force them to take communion.
You know, just for cultural education purposes.
I wonder - how many teachers are followers of Farrakhan?
Never thought to see this in good old southern town of LaPlata. Bethesda, yes.
“I’d go further and nail schools for indoctrinating kids to believe in global warming.”
That reminds me of a school district, somewhere, that mandated a disclaimer be attached to any showing of crazy al’s inconvenient truth
Trump is on top of this and will rip it out by its ugly dark heart. Common Core No More!
Try to distinguish between projection and reality. Trump "is on top of" what matters to Trump, and will "fix" those things to Trump's liking, not to yours. Buyer's remorse for Obama will be nothing like the buyer's remorse we'll see then.
Ah just force them to copy memorize and recite the Apostles Creed and the 23d Psalm and maybe a section of the Torah
Merlin ping!
That was done by a British judge IIRC.
The malicious importation/immigration isn’t helping.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
