Micah Clark, executive director of the Indiana AFA, launched an Internet protest once he heard about the allegations. What surprised me here is that weve had a secular scrubbing of Christmas for so long and the school apparently didnt see the problem with kids singing to Allah, he told FOX News Radio. You wont even mention Jesus and youre going to force my child to sing about Allah?
In email correspondence the school initially defended the reference as a way to be inclusive of all religions. However, once complaints starting rolling in, school leaders decided to eliminate the Allah reference.
That drew the ire of the Muslim Alliance of Indiana. Its unfortunate if that was removed from the program just because of Islamophobic feelings, Shariq Siddiqui told the Indianapolis Star. Schools are a place where we should learn more about each other rather than exclude each other based on stereotypes and misconceptions.

No way I would stand for that.
I’ve got a four year-old little girl who will be attending school for the first time next year.
God help them if they EVER try to force her to say anything like that.
PC Trailblazer Danielle. Forget Jesus....it's Christmas. Allah is great!
Allah U Ackbar!
So they harass and persecute a kid who draws a picture of Jesus. They teach various kinds of sex in schools. Now this. Something is seriously wrong with the schools, and it’s called liberalism.
Hey, let’s not forget Kwanzaa, that faux pseudo-African holiday dreamed up in the 60s by racist and convicted felon Ron Karenga (nee Ronald McKinley Everett).

My God, what have we done? Yesterday this news story was making its rounds.
Mass. 2nd-grader sent home for crucifix drawing
TAUNTON, Mass. (AP) A Massachusetts man says his 8-year-old son was sent home from school and ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation after drawing a stick figure Jesus on a cross because the teacher thought it was too violent.
The man told the Taunton Daily Gazette for a story Tuesday his second-grader made the drawing Dec. 2 after his teacher asked children to sketch something that reminded them of Christmas.
The father, Chester Johnson, said on WBZ-TV that the teacher became upset when his son said he drew himself on the cross. Johnson says school officials overreacted.
The boy was cleared to return to school after the evaluation.
Superintendent Julie Hackett said she could not discuss an individual student and the school followed protocol.
Hackett didn’t return calls from The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Where’s the ACLU screaming separation of church and state?
Wow...I live not far from Fishers...Hamilton County (IN) schools are supposedly some of the best in Indiana.
[[The principal of Lantern Road Elementary School in Fishers, IN, said they were trying to teach inclusiveness through their holiday production.]]
Yeah? Was one of the songs “Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior’? No? Didn’t think so! ‘All inclusive’?
I went to my nephews ‘Christmas pageant’ last year, and there was NO mention of ‘Merry Christmas’, or traditional songs celbrating the reason for the season- Jesus Christ- but there were plenty of ‘happy Hannuka’ ‘Felis Novidad’ and mexican, and other ‘national holidays’ such as African, Indian etc, mentioned
dumb*ss misread his memo from the NEA.
The kids were supposed to sing “Obama is God”
