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."

In middle school another student was bullying me (along with several of his friends), and the teacher who broke it up had us both go to a portable where the school had a make-shift boxing ring set up. He wanted us to put boxing gloves on and settle our “problem”. I refused as I did not have a “problem”. The next two years were not academically productive for me. No one suggested that sensitivity training was needed for these bullies, and no speakers were brought in. Of course, none of us were Muslim.

I read every word and found it to be very interesting. My kids are having troubles with a muslim family. Crystal is getting punched and kicked by the daughter and the son called my cell phone and threatened to kill me. I didn’t know it was him at the time and was very scared!

The mother says I am crazy because her kids are not the problem, I am. (and my kids are).

I called the police the other day after I caught the girl blocking my daughter from moving. She was pinned up against a stair railing. The police said I was the second parent to call them regarding this girl bullying someone that day!

The Furor is like Elvis, you never know whether he’s dead or not.

He could be in Argentina, he could be running for the President of the United States disquised as a female. You just never know.

How dare you post something positive coming from a public school and how parents can and do make a difference!

We are supposed to be working in cesspools of immorality and Islamo-fascism! Not enforcing Judeo-Christian thought!

Harumph.

;)

But they left out the best parts.

Stuff like marrying a non-Muslim is punishable by death.

There’s everything wrong with that presentation: they left out all the facts.

I’d love all that information on a solidly backed-up site so I can get people to see the truth.

Buy a rifle and put a sign up that says “Protected by 2nd Amendment Security.”

Something like this:

If this happened here in MN, they’d probably make him head of Education Minnesota .(teacher’s union lobby)

How about getting permission to give a 40 minute presentation on “Christianity”, think that would
have a chance even with your permission?

A muslim man may marry a non-muslim woman (and push for her to convert).

A muslim woman may not marry a non-muslim man (even if he converts).

So say the experts at Ask The Imam.

Thanks—that’s just what I wanted! My work is blocking it, but I’ll certainly look at it when I get home.

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

Of course they are. The ACLU is only interested in God and religion when observant Christians and Jews are involved, in which case, they start their persecution and harassment. But if it is mohammedanism, the ACLU rolls over, wets itself and complies with what CAIR wants.

Thanks. The presentation even starts out with a lie. Islam does not respect diversity.

Well I sure as hell see something wrong with it. Tell ya what; let’s see how many such presentations have been offered to those of the Christian faith; a faith that well over 85% of this country professes.

Why don’t you contact the school district, offer such a presentation, then come back to us with the results, k?
