Texas children roped into Islamic training

Public school students at Friendswood Junior High in the Houston area have been roped into Islamic training by representatives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations during class time, prompting religious leaders to protest over Principal Robin Lowe's actions.

Pastor Dave Welch, spokesman for the Houston Area Pastor Council, confirmed the indoctrination had taken place and called it "unacceptable."

"The failure of the principal of Friendswood Junior High to respect simple procedures requiring parental notification for such a potentially controversial subject, to not only approve but participate personally in a religious indoctrination session led by representatives of a group with well-known links to terrorist organizations and her cavalier response when confronted, raises serious questions about her fitness to serve in that role," the pastors' organization said.

According to a parent, whose name was withheld, the children were given the Islamic indoctrination during time that was supposed to be used for a physical education class.

"I am simply trying to get the word out to those whose kids may not have told them about an Islamic presentation that all kids were required to attend," wrote the parent, who was working to assemble protests to the school board.

WND previously has reported how public school textbooks being used across the nation have begun promoting Islam, teaching even the religious doctrines.

And you know so much about Friendswood, just how?

Friendswood ISD graduates a lot of bright kids that mostly go on to college and well beyond, including to medical school. I would be very surprised if there wasn’t at least one over the years that went on to become a neurosurgeon, as the nearby Houston Medical Center is one of the largest and best collection of medical facilities in the World. There probably are a few neurosurgeon living in Friendswood as well, as it is a rather upscale bedroom community for Houston.

You don't know much about Friendswood ISD. It is a fantastic school district. The kids are much brighter than than Robin Lowe in this case. And Friendswood is a VERY Christian town. That's why there is so much blowback over this issue.

Unless, like myself, you spent your 2nd - 12th grades IN the FISD - I'd guess I know more about the FISD than you do.

I've been somewhat intimately familiar with the 'tards that take classes there, the 'tards that teach them, and the 'tards that administer the entire charade.

Do you work for the FISD? Just asking. At any rate I'll repeat that there are NO brain surgeons in Friendswood today - not that graduated in Friendswood. I'd bet my last buck on that.

And - there are NO students that paid enough attention to the lesson to remember it today. Unless, of course, there's some little daddy's-girl type that takes notes of everything throughout the day. THEN you might have identified someone that can look up the happenings of the day.

"Christian town" - [guffaw]. That ended with the Blue Laws.

IMO, of course.

Oops, forgot to include you in my reply.

My apologies for posting to a thread and leaving it. I no longer reside in the US and spend most of the year traveling. At any rate, here is my response to another poster on this thread (and I think it applies to):

Good luck. With a Friendswood High "education" (?) you'd need it. Again - IMO.

Hmm, You just defined yoursef as a "retard" so I'm not sure your viewpoint is too valuable to me.

Out of curiosity, what year did you graduate?

And I can assure you that I've done a lot better than the brain surgeons you support.

They're stupid *beyond* belief.

They still have (I'm told) "Doctor" Kennedy associatided with FHS.

That's *laughable* on many levels!

Keep chugging at the wheel. You'll get there eventually. LOL.

Good luck.

25 years later you live out of state and you are an expert on all Friendswood schools? Have you been in Westwood or Bales recently? Know any of the teachers? Are you familiar with the curriculum? Ever been on a school board? In my case the answers to the last four questions is yes.

And I can assure you that I've done a lot better than the brain surgeons you support.

Before you were a "tard" and now you are not? OK...

They're stupid *beyond* belief.

Prove it.

They still have (I'm told) "Doctor" Kennedy associatided with FHS.

Never met the person.

That's *laughable* on many levels!

Please explain.

Odd comment. I'm not sure what that means. Do you know what that means?

Good luck.

Uh huh...
