Principal has new job after 'Islam 101' scandal
Houston Chronicle ^ | June 4, 2008 | ERICKA MELLON

Posted on 06/05/2008 6:36:11 AM PDT by SoftballMominVA

The Friendswood Junior High principal who outraged some parents by allowing an Islamic group to make a 40-minute presentation to students last month is now off the job.

In a two-sentence statement sent late Wednesday, the school district said Robin Lowe "has accepted another administrative position effective immediately."

“Allah is God for all human beings.”

The ACLU is okay with this teaching in a public school?

Did they have the kids recite the Shahadah (testimonial of faith in Isalm) or quiz them over the words in it?

If this presentation was about diversity and tolerance, when the section on Mecca came up, was there a discussion of the zero tolerance for non-muslims (under penalty of death) in Mecca? And zero tolerance for any religious text other than Islam’s in Saudi Arabia?

A very well-thought out and in-depth article that is too high-brow for the Sheep to ever read, and therefore won’t, because American Idol is on right now...

Islam is the only major religion of the world of an antichrist figure.

Mohammad’s followers acknowledge the existence of Jesus (unlike other major religions) but deny His divinity, His death by crucifixion, and His resurection.

The flock is led astray by a deceiver and enslaving conquering warlord and his followers.

Why was there no mention of his multiple wives? Or the acceptance of slavery to this day under Islam?

The laws of Islam do not change to political correctness.

Only the 12th Imam can bring about any “reform” of Islam.

Hussein said his organization has done a similiar presentation in the Clear Creek school district and he plans to ask other districts for an opportunity to present

A further call to action is required.

From the last few paragrahphs:

Titled "Islam: Respecting Diversity," it discusses the size of the Muslim population, the basic tenets of the religion and the dating customs. Hussein said his organization has done a similiar presentation

If B Hussein O is elected, this will be common place. Forget separation of church and state when you discuss islam under the possible Hussein presidency.

I would like to know what job she is involved in now? Does it give her any authority? Does she have direct contact with children? Does this new position give her any opportunities to espouse and/or promote her muslim views? Lstly, did she get a promotion with a higher salary, for disobeying an order?

I suspect that some of those parental “conversions” are parents who were brought up as practicing Christians by their parents but who became non-Church attending (and possibly agnostic).

I know a married couple who take their kid to Sunday School and then “go to church” (actually the coffee shop). Their kid thinks they are being observant.

Additionally I hear of non-practicing (and even outright atheist) parents who send their kids to a religious school for the upbringing. The kids may slide in amorality as they grow up but they consider it gives them a good base.

Every school administration that I have been familiar with hides their drunks and pederasts in Administration.

The usual excuse for this is that Union Contracts make it nearly impossible for the School board form terminating a teacher.

They have no excuse with a Principal who being an administrator is employed on an individual contract.

This incompetent should have been summarily terminated.

The problem may not be with the presentation itself, but the reason for having the presentation. Two students had a conflict (fight) with one being Muslim, and the district/school approves pulling all students into a presentation for sensitivity training? Not a very wise use of educational resourses.

Also, we need to keep saying that Environmentalism is a Religion, and its tenets should not be presented as fact when they are actually articles of Faith.

Its unopposed dissemination will be as destructive to our culture as the spread of Islamic culture and laws.

“Did they have the kids recite the Shahadah (testimonial of faith in Isalm) or quiz them over the words in it?”

I sure hope not. Recite it three times in a row in front of witnesses, and you ARE a Muslim. When I was teaching geography a few years ago, I made that point quite clearly. I'd say it (in English), the kids would ask me to repeat it, and I would, and some joker would ask to repeat it again, and I'd refuse, and tell them why. Again. Ninth-graders are almost ALL smart alecks! ;)

I also explained that in many countries, leaving the faith was a death sentence.

Hopefully that “new administrative position” involves a large pay cut, and employs a broom as a primary tool.

Not a chance. In public education, this is code meaning that the person has been moved into an office job at the administration center.

“sensitivity training” is just another term for political re-education.

Do they send a bully into “sensitivity training” if he taunts a science nerd and breaks his glasses? What speakers are brought in to speak then?

The Women of CAIR should’ve been asked about that death penalty for those who leave Islam, those who teach Christianity in Saudi Arabia, and those kufir who dare enter Mecca.

If this guy is in a union anything like the one in New Yorrk city, he is playing pool somewhere with fellow traveler teachers raking in the money for doing nothing.
