Marine Dad Barred from School over Protest of Islam Curriculum

In an incident mirroring a recent California case, a Marine in Maryland who served overseas and fought against Islamic extremists was barred from school premises when he protested his daughter learning about what he called “the benefits of Islam” at her Maryland high school.

Kevin Wood asked that she be excused from class while that subject was discussed, but La Plata High School refused, prompting Wood to argue with the school. That triggered the school to issue a no-trespassing order, reported Pennlive.

Station USA9 reported that Wood, presently a firefighter, said he had not made any threats. Wood and his wife said that if Islam was going to be taught, current events should be part of the lesson. Melissa Wood said, “That's I guess our biggest concern right now is how they're teaching it and what is really going on right now in this world." Kevin Wood added,"[Schools] are not teaching about radical Islam right now - going around beheading people in America and Australia and they're not teaching that. They're just teaching, 'Oh, it's peaceful.' And it's not peaceful."

Zainab Chaudry, Maryland Outreach Manager for CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said she was "saddened but not surprised," continuing, "Unfortunately there is a growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States. It's important that if these [extremist] groups are mentioned [in schools] and that students are taught about that, that a distinction is made so students understand that these groups are not following the teachings of true Islam."

If I lived in Maryland, I would help escort this vet to the school board hearing.

The leftists are willing to fight to change America. We are willing to vote while they steal, cheat, lie and commit voter fraud to win. Will peaceful methods bring our country back? Maybe, but that’s only IF many leftists suddenly realize they are wrong. They don’t want to hear the truth, they don’t want to consider our opinions. How about something involving chicken feathers happens , and lets get this show started. The time of peaceful resistance is over, because they don’t care. If we want any chance of freedom, we’re going to have to go out and fight for it. School board hearing? There shouldn’t even BE a school board hearing. Even allowing discussion to bar a marine from this school is traitorous and un-American. How about we show these people how un-American they are?

This is the price of free babysitting. If the dad wants his daughter in the care of communists then suck it up.

[Fungi]

Bingo. Unfortunately, it is not free, property taxes prove that.

[Toespi]

Free babysitting? Hardly, we the taxpayers pay plenty for education and at some point we the people need to start making hard demands rather than hide our children in their homes. Maybe this father can call the ACLU, I am sure they will be all over this.

>>t’s important that if these [extremist] groups are mentioned [in schools] and that students are taught about that, that a distinction is made so students understand that these groups are not following the teachings of true Islam.”<<

“true islam” is known by anyone who has read the accursed qu’uran is what is practiced by isis, hamas, al quaida and the rest.

The version being offered up by 5th-column cair is a deeply edited and false one that is NOT “true islam.”

[HiTech RedNeck]

An alarmingly large proportion of Muslims who would never think of beheading anybody themselves, cheer the appearance of such factions as ISIS.

When it’s Christians, and you ask them about, say, Westboro Baptist Church (which doesn’t even behead anybody), they will groan in agony and tell you they wish that group never existed.

The difference between an evil muslim and a nice muslim.

The evil muslim wants to saw your head off with a dull knife.

The nice muslim is kind, and will use a sharp knife.

Took our kids out of public school six years ago. The financial struggle to do so has been tough, but worth every single penny! Public school is akin to child abuse, imo.

[GeronL]

interesting isn’t it

a parent complains about a prayer before a football game and the school tries to shut down the prayer

same with the student speakers

they never seem to ban those complainers

[DoughtyOne]

No threat? Why he disagreed with their dogma. That is a clear threat “TO THEM”.

Shudder to think even one person might disagree with “an educator”.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly right! I term it child abuse too.

[Pajamajan]

What would happen if this school taught about the benefits of Christianity?

[wintertime]

Government schools need two things to survive:

1) kids
2) Money

They need **both**! Starve them of both. The best way to control these outrageous principals, superintendents, and the Useful Idiot teachers who assist in the evil is to eliminate their JOBS!

[HiTech RedNeck]

“AUGGGGH! YOU’RE EVANGELIZING!”

[faithhopecharity]

take that kid out of that enemy indoctrinatrion center, ASAP!

ridiculous how we are letting our country go right down the damn*d toilet like this!

[DoughtyOne]

Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  Red Alert!  

Any questions?

Free my ass. I pay 5 figures in property taxes every year to fund that particular democrat brain washing mechanism. I hope the guy gets a lawyer and I’d be happy to make a contribution to his legal defense fund.

[wintertime]

It is free to the parent who subjects their child to this **abuse**! Shame on them!

[wintertime]

It is tuition-free to the parent who subjects their child to this child abuse.
