Australia: Catholic teacher forced Qur’anic readings on students

“Parents have been left fuming after discovering a history and geography teacher has been reading excerpts of the Koran to their children at a Catholic boy’s high school.”

Now why would Jesse Pittard not read to the children the Torah, the Vedas (Hindu scriptures), the Sutras (Buddhist texts) etc., all in the spirit of diversity? What could be his motive to choose only one religion? Apparently he was a well-intentioned Leftist multiculturalist who has swallowed the full gamut of “Islamophobia” propaganda and was trying to “help out.” Another dhimmi candidate for Useful Idiot prize of the year. Kudos to the parents for pushing back.

“EXCLUSIVE: Parents furious after Catholic school teacher reads out sections of the KORAN before class prayers – but principal insists it was just an ‘academic exercise'”, By Martha Azzi, Daily Mail Australia, September 2, 2016:

Parents have been left fuming after discovering a history and geography teacher has been reading excerpts of the Koran to their children at a Catholic boy’s high school.

Jesse Pittard, who teaches both subjects at Christian Brothers’ High School, in Lewisham in Sydney’s inner-west, has come under fire from parents for reading out sections of the Koran to his year seven students at the start of the day during home room and before classes.

Parents and students told Daily Mail Australia Mr Pittard began reading excerpts to students at the beginning of the semester in July and claimed he has since read ‘more than half’ the Koran to them.

Parents are particularly angry they were not told about the Koran readings and questioned why the Muslim holy book needed to be read outside of religion classes.

One mother said her son revealed during a conversation that Mr Pittard was reading the Koran to him before his geography class.

‘We don’t send our kids to an Islamic school to listen to the Koran and it’s not a religion lesson, it’s a geography lesson, so how does that relate to geography?’ she said.

Mr Pittard has chosen not to comment on the matter.

Maybe geography wasn't what the teacher had in mind. Mohammed was a pedophile.

Were they reading the parts that arrogated the peaceful crap so that the kids would understand the threat Islam actually is OR were they only reading the now defunct peaceful crap in some effort to brainwash the kids to believe the “Religion of a Peace” lie?

Which make all the difference in the world!

Don’t be too surprised if it should turn out that PCdiot parents and staff are upset that the former was the case.

These Catholics are so misguided. Starts at the top. Since Vatican II it is non stop libtard theology. Except maybe Benedict.

First, I object to the term ‘libtard’. I worked many years with the ‘mentally retarded’. They were no more handicapped than you or I am. (in different ways)

Second, since John XXIII convened Vatican II, we have had Paul VI, JP I and JPII - none of which had a ‘libtard’ theology ~ for Pope Francis, that remains to be seen.

Took the words right out of my mouth. I’ve been a traditionalist Catholic since grade school (1947-1955). And in my view the VC-II debacle completely undid the rock-solid presentation of the doctrines of the Faith that was promulgated at the Council of Trent. VC-II has pretty much accomplished its goal of eliminating any and all Catholic beliefs that have been judged to be in conflict with Protestantism and Modernism.
