....Wilson then sat down with teacher and parent liaison Abdirahman Sheikh Omar Ahmad, who also is the imam at an Islamic center in Minneapolis, to work with ArtStart in determining how to meet state standards without running afoul of Muslim doctrine.

"We said, 'Look, we can do better than this,' " Wilson said.

NO HUMAN IMAGES

Out the window right away went masks, puppets and that classic of elementary school art class, the self-portrait, said Sara Langworthy, an artist with ArtStart. Revamping the curriculum "definitely requires stepping outside of the normal instincts that you fall back on," she sai.....

"The Art of Surrender" is the real headline.

We are going to become the gestapo, going in and monitoring what they are indoctrinating. These public schools need to be investigated and the union disbanded for funding political causes but we have a chicken shi* president and congress who approve this.

When I left my almost totally Islamisized Canadian neighborhood for Minneapolis, I thought I had left this sort of madness behind. I was wrong.

I lived in Fremont California and in the suburb just to our north Hayward they made 7th graders dress-up like Muslims. There was a whole month to study Islam and had kids compose Muslim prayers. This is no joke and it made news but as far as I know it still goes on there.

Slippery Slope?

Now way we've fallen and can't get out of the hole.

It seems that Canada and California have already fallen and it is now moving south and east.

Holy Sh*t. They won't let teachers wear little cross pendants but they're ready to turn the kids into little Muslims. Bastards.

Homeschooling frees parents from the oppressive arm of government which seeks to indoctrinate children with propaganda while depriving them of a good education.
(You may quote me on that!)
Homeschooling!

It seems the muslims object to an awful lot. But I notice they want to live here. I don't see them moving to the middle east where they would have a virtual islamic utopia. No, they move here and then object to every little detail about living here. The answer should be obvious. Don't move here. But if you do, don't complain if things are not completely to your liking. What a country. We have reconquista from the Mexicans, and the islamics are getting started at their first conquest of this country and culture. And we just sit passively while it happens. The islamics won't be happy not drawing people themselves. They will only be happy when every schoolchild in America cannot draw, dance, believe except as muslims approve.

I remember a few years ago, at a Kansas college, an art instructor taking a stand because some people complained about him showing hard core homosexual sex videos as part of an art appreciation class. He said there was no way the "religious wrong" was going to control his curriculum. It's amazing how fast people roll over when the right person complains.

"They won't let teachers wear little cross pendants but they're ready to turn the kids into little Muslims."


The excuse they're using is that crosses are non-secular, whereas Jewish and Islamic symbols are considered secular.

I'm not thoroughly familiar with Minnesota secondary education but this school appears to be a charter school, in fact, "the premier Afro-Centric charter school" in Minnesota.
There's a web site that has a parent review and a student review of this school:
http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/parents/mn/405
(December 2004)
"Higher Ground Academy is a joke to education and a great disservice to all children not just African American. Test scores don't always reflect accuracy of student performance. The Department of Education needs to take a closer look into what is going on in this so called place of academic learning. Scandals and misappropriation of funding to say the least and under qualified staff and the unwillingness of administration to provide approriate curriculum, staff development, and resources for staff and students. There needs to be a serious consideration of restructing beginning with the head of administration. The Board of Directors and the Higher Ground Board do not meet regularly nor to the meetings reflect parent concerns for change. This is not a place of learning and I would advise more parents to beaware before considering placement for their children as I have."
