Isn’t this unconstitutional? Wasn’t there a decades-long struggle to get Christianity out of public school classrooms? Now what had been accepted norms for the separation of religion from public school education are out the window. This initiative to introduce Islam into classroom teaching is based on spurious claims that Muslim students are bullied, when actual FBI statistics show that incidents against Jews are far more common.
“Department Of Education Encourages Islam In Classrooms To Stop Muslim Bullying,” by Diane Palmer, Parent Herald, April 27, 2016
The U.S. Department of Education calls educators to include Islam in the curriculum to address the bullying of Muslim students.
The Department of Education (DOE) in the U.S. encouraged educators to be more responsible in protecting Muslim students from bullying by teaching Islam in class. Many people rejected the demands of the DOE’s instructions by saying that it is inappropriate to bring up religion in class.
The DOE posted instructions on their website urging teachers to include Islam in classroom discussions. Educators are encouraged to incorporate experiences of Muslim people into the curriculum through current events, social studies and children’s literature.
The alleged bullying is said to be largely based on the lack of information about the religion and the tendency to associate Islam with terrorism. Although no firm statistics show how often Muslim students are bullied, activists claim that the numbers became higher after the attacks of 9/11, according to Huffington Post.
A 2010 survey of 57 Muslim teenagers aged 11 to 18 reported being called a name because of their faith. About 80 percent of the respondents also said they have been called a ‘terrorist’.
DOE cites an increase in incidents targeting the Muslim community due to the 10 incidents that happened nationwide, according to WND. Of the 10 events, two resulted in assaults, three reported the vandalism of mosques, five involved alleged threats and intimidation and only one involved a student inside school.
Parents were also called to educate their kids on how to prevent bullying. Parents were told to teach how to appreciate their peers and make friends across different cultures.
However, many groups rejected the claim of DOE by organizing a Change.org petition drive demanding the department to stop efforts to Islamize children in school. Nowhere in the blog does it talk about incorporating Christian or Judaism into classroom discussions despite far more actual violent attacks on Jews and Christians all over the world, according to Martin Mawyer, president and founder of Christian Action Network….
They are in favor of it.
More Islamic indoctrination into the BS death cult..... paid for by the Saudis and another reason for Trump to ABOLISH THE DEPT OF EDUCATION!
IWe homeschooled our three with occasional terms in private and parochial schools.
The Constitution explicitly forbids the government to promote a religion. OK, izlam is not a religion, but a world-domination movement cleverly disguised as a religion, but everyone thinks it’s a religion.
This is wrong, unconstitutional and illegal. It is done on orders from the Imam-in-Chief.

“”Educators are encouraged to incorporate experiences of Muslim people into the curriculum through current events, social studies and children’s literature.””
They left out “health education” - they need to be taught that “MUSLIM PEOPLE” are dangerous to their health!!!
With Christianity banished from public school lands, Islam will have no competition. For Islamic countries, this is money from home.
This is the behavior of a country which is already conquered, at least federally. Our nation is Kind of like a headless body now, which still has life of a sort...
