Maryland school denigrates Christianity, promotes Islam; case gone to supreme court
A taxpayer funded public school in Maryland instructed its students:
“Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.”
“Islam at heart is a peaceful religion.”
Jihad is a “personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline.”
“To Muslims, Allah is the same God that is worshiped in Christianity and Judaism.”
“Men are the managers of the affairs of women” and “Righteous women are therefore obedient.”
Imagine the shock when 11th-grader at La Plata High School, Caleigh Wood, revealed this to her parents. More students and more parents need to actively need to get involved as Caleigh Wood did. She bravely stood up for her rights as a Christian. She stated that, as part of an assignment, she “was also required to profess in writing, the Islamic conversion creed, ‘There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’” For refusing to concede to the sharia and standing “firm in her Christian beliefs”, Wood was punished for it and given a failing grade for non-compliance.
Her case has now gone to the supreme court. “The Thomas More Law Center has submitted a petition asking the high court to take up the case of student Caleigh Wood.” Its president, Richard Thompson warned:
Under the guise of teaching history or social studies, public schools across America are promoting the religion of Islam in ways that would never be tolerated for Christianity or any other religion.
Jihad Watch reported on May 19th that a Washington school district was caught promoting Islam for Ramadan through a CAIR initiative. Now lawyers have sent a cease and desist letter. Islamization happens rapidly if unnoticed and unchallenged. Parents need to be paying attention to what their children are being indoctrinated with and taught in schools.
“U.S. SCHOOL FAILS CHRISTIAN STUDENT FOR REFUSING ISLAMIC PRAYER”, World Net Daily, May 19, 2019:
The declarations could have been made by an imam in a mosque sermon.
“Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.”
“Islam at heart is a peaceful religion.”
Jihad is a “personal struggle in devotion to Islam, especially involving spiritual discipline.”
“To Muslims, Allah is the same God that is worshiped in Christianity and Judaism.”
“Men are the managers of the affairs of women” and “Righteous women are therefore obedient.”
The problem is that those statements were part of the instruction in a public school in Maryland, and one of the students in the classroom now is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to condemn such religious lessons funded by taxpayers.
The Thomas More Law Center has submitted a petition asking the high court to take up the case of student Caleigh Wood.
“As a Christian and 11th-grader at La Plata High School in Maryland, Caleigh Wood was taught that ‘Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian.’ She was also required to profess in writing, the Islamic conversion creed, ‘There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’ Ms. Wood believed that it is a sin to profess by word or in writing, that there is any other god except the Christian God. She stood firm in her Christian beliefs and was punished for it. The school refused her request to opt-out or give her an alternative assignment. She refused to complete her anti-Christian assignment and consequently received a failing grade,” the legal team explained Wednesday.
Lower courts have given a free pass to the school district to teach Islam, and so TMLC filed the request with the Supreme Court to decide “whether any legal basis exists to allow public schools to discriminate against Christianity while at the same time promote Islam.”
“Under the guise of teaching history or social studies, public schools across America are promoting the religion of Islam in ways that would never be tolerated for Christianity or any other religion,” said Richard Thompson, TMLC’s president.
“I’m not aware of any school which has forced a Muslim student to write the Lord’s Prayer or John 3:16: ‘For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,’” he said.
“Many public schools have become a hot bed of Islamic propaganda. Teaching Islam in schools has gone far beyond a basic history lesson. Prompted by zealous Islamic activism and emboldened by confusing court decisions, schools are now bending over backwards to promote Islam while at the same time denigrate Christianity. We are asking the Supreme Court to provide the necessary legal guidance to resolve the insidious discrimination against Christians in our public schools,” he said.
Unresolved include whether or not schools can make preferential statements about one religion over another, and whether students may be required to assert religious beliefs with which they disagree.
And how do those concepts align with “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”?
The Charles County public schools and officials are defendants.
The filing explains the lower courts, despite the First Amendment’s requirements, “upheld the ability for [the school] to denigrate Petitioner Caleigh Wood’s faith and require her to write out statements and prayers contradictory to her own religious beliefs.”
Really outrageous: More students and more parents need to actively need to get involved as Caleigh Wood did. She bravely stood up for her rights as a Christian. She stated that, as part of an assignment, she “was also required to profess in writing, the Islamic conversion creed, ‘There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.’”
Does writing the Shahada, the statement of faith, possibly make on a muzzard in the eyes of muzzards?
yes, for a few Muslems, jihad may be an internal struggle.
But for millions and millions and millions of Muslims, jihad (religious warfare) is just what it says in the Koran...following in Mohammed’s example....INVADE, INFILTRATE, disrupt, terrorize, murder, conquer, and subjugate or kill any resisters
also this is proven over and over and over and over again by Islam’s aggressive history
Islam is the most dangerous infiltration and war-making conspiracy on planet earth. It must be defeated!
Islam — the likely religion of the Antichrist — has 14 centuries worth of naked aggression that you have to ignore to make such assertions.
In fact, I will repost something here to help express my view of those who talk of things like they were teaching in the class:
“New, from DemCo: I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime!
“We’ve all been there, something bad happens and mean Republicans, pro-lifers, the NRA gun nuts or homophobic haters point out that it was perpetrated by minorities, homosexuals, transgender persons, or one of those wonderful Muslims.
“What is a progressive to do?
“Why, with new I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime you can push their tiresome, boring rants far, far away!
“Just apply I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime to your rectum like so and it’s patented politically correct recipe strongly attracts the skin of you scalp ...” (Voice now muffled) “... and now you’ll have no problem realizing who is really responsible for whatever goes wrong!”
(fast speaking voice)
“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime has no known side effects that you cannot blame on the bad people. If you start to feel uncomfortable simply apply more I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime and discomfort will fade. Reports of users disappearing up their own asses are muckraking rumors spread by crypto-fascists, who are you going to believe anyway?”
(muffled announcer voice again)
“I Can’t Believe It’s Not Hate Crime, available on school campuses and from druggist nation wide!”
When, with the help of the feminists, Islam finally comes to dominate Europe and America, we must remind the feminists to see the humor.
That is an establishment of religion in word and deed.
I notice the Freedom from Religion legal association is curiously absent.
It must be defeated!
................................
It will never be defeated by ANY means other than by the use of deadly force, and not only against Muslims but against hordes of non-Muslim leftist radicals as well. The longer the inevitable is delayed the greater the number of innocent non-Muslims that will be tortured and killed. Take it to the bank!
all correct.
(the strangest thing is that the Muslim terrorists have the very LEAST respect (from among all westerners, Christians, Jews, and everyone else)........the least respect imaginable for their leftie/commie/nazi conspirators....they’ll use them as long as they’re useful... and then the leftist Quisings will be among the very first to be butchered
I attended a Bible College for a couple of years in the 1970s. As evangelicals we studied how to present the Gospel to atheists, agnostics and most of the cults such as Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, etc. Yes, I believe that Christianity is exclusive and that there is only one way to get to heaven - by belief in the Lord Jesus Christ and accepting that He died to pay for your sins. Jesus said, “I AM the Way, The Truth and The Life, no one comes to the Father but through Me.” We also studied how to present the Gospel to tribes in foreign countries and we briefly studied world religions, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the Muslim invasion in America that we are now experiencing.
Oh HELL no, that is absolutely Supreme Court material.
Try doing that in reverse to some 81 IQ east African muzz and stand back `cause they will be yanking out the knives most pronto.
But a 17 y.o. female American Citizen is commanded to submit to the muzz?
NO.
Bust `em with a lawsuit, 3 - 5 mill.
.
Supremes getting this 30 years too late as the Islamists have been funneling their crap into our educational system that long with preposterous levels of “donations”. Perhaps Grover Norquist or top State Department officials have an opinion. Oh, never mind: all those guys are Islamic plants or agents. Like Obama who insured they were placed.

Islam should not be forced on Christians as well as Buddhists, Atheists or anyone else.
Parents ought to “get actively involved” in removing their children from the public kennels.
The left is instinctively drawn to evil and hates good.
I thought public schools are not supposed to promote any religion.
bkmk
“Islam at heart is a peaceful religion.”
So say “moderate” Muslims. So let no one doubt that moderate Muslims also believe that
“Men are the managers of the affairs of women”
Should rule that Islam is not a religion, it is a cult (cult of death). After they start cheering, they might figure out that they had been screwed.
