AS YOU READ THIS, REMEMBER, PRAYER (for Christians) IS OUTLAWED BY THE US SUPREME COURT IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Developments with Metro Nashville Public Schools
Education Resource Committee for Muslim Students
Per our last update on the meeting with Dr. Register by representatives from Islamic Center of Nashville, Salahadeen Center, Masjid Al-Farooq and Masjid Al-Islam, an official committee has been formed to act as a liason and educational resource for Muslim families and Metro Nashville Public Schools to meet the needs fo students while maintaining their Islamic identity. For more information you may contact any of the centers or Sr. Berthena or Sr. Kasar.
Prayer Accommodations at School
For your children’s interest, accommodations for students taking a few minutes to catch their Dhuhr prayer are available. Please contact your child’s appropriate teacher of that particular period via email (emails can be found on metro’s website, www.mnps.org) and copy your school’s guidance counselor. Your child can also personally request the teacher as well. Letters for prayer arrangements during Ramadan (along with PE and lunch alternatives such as the library) have already been sent to all the schools. Letters for other specific accommodation have been revised and will be sent out.
In school districts where this kind of nonsense goes on, I wonder why the parents of the Christian and Jewish kids aren’t suing the school districts for religious discrimination. Let’s put this whole “separation” thing to the test: either EVERYBODY can pray and worship in public, or nobody can - equal protection, no discrimination. Nobody has cojones anymore, its sad.
