Where are the separation of church and state liberals on this?

I am sure that the "Freedom From Religion Foundation" (FFRF) and the ACLU were just about to weigh in on this very topic ...

Any moment now ...

Any moment now ...

Maybe that didn't get the word? OR maybe their interest is not in anything OTHER than anti JudeoChristian?

Haven’t heard a thing from her. Wonder how she’s spending her time in the position she was given.

Happens all across the country at colleges and universities to conservative speakers. Except the "media" refer those cancellations to "complaints" instead of threats.

Liberals KNOW Islam is not a religion but a socio-political construct designed to enslave and destroy minds and steal souls ... hence the reason Liberals have no problem with Islam.

Wrong! What was intended to be Islamic propaganda.

Why are these teachers focusing on Islam. They should be teaching their students to read and write.

Only 59 percent of their students are proficient in reading.

Only 36 percent of their students are proficient in math.

From the article:Islam is NOT a religion. It is an evil cult invented by a child pederast that believed women are less than human.

Islam is a movement to estabish world government of Sharia wrapped up with a religion.

Was this to be followed by a priest who would explain Catholicism? Or a minister who would lecture on one of the Protestant faiths? How about a rabbi to educate the kiddies on Judaism? Maybe a guru or a Daoist or a Sikh?

Why is it always islime that needs to be "explained?" Or is "explained" just another word for "defended?"

Also the decapitated, rigor-stiff little girl in the blue dress is a good lesson on what Islime is all about.

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone
All in all it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all you’re just another brick in the wall

Muslims are officially a victim group per liberals, so they are privileged ahead of Christians and nearly any other group.
That’s why you have schools taking kids to mosques but not Buddhist temples, Jewish synagogues, Christian churches.
It is so bad that Muslim rape gangs are ignored because it is worse to be called racist for going after the Muslim rape gangs than stop little girls from being raped, often prostituted as well.
