A dad in England was shocked after seeing a note from his 12-year-old stepdaughter announcing she was converting to Islam.
Mark McLachlan was even more stunned when he learned the note actually was a homework assignment from his daughter’s public middle school.
The instructions read: “Write a letter to family about converting to Islam.”
Like many non-Muslim parents, McLachlan was upset that Islam indoctrination had infiltrated his stepdaughter’s middle-school curriculum.
“She was told to Google ‘Why should I convert to Islam,'” McLachlan told the U.K. Daily Mail.
“I just don’t see why they should ask a child to write a letter addressed to their family about converting to another religion,” he explained. “If they want children to learn about Islam, then go teach them all about it and its history.
“What I don’t want is a school asking my stepdaughter to look into reasons for converting to another religion,” he added.
The School in Houghton-le-Spring, England, claimed the Muslim-conversion letter was part of a class about religion. But no similar assignment was given to students asking them to write letters to their parents confessing they were converting to Christianity, atheism or Judaism.
If you think Mark McLachlan is overreacting, then turn the tables and imagine the reaction if a Muslim dad saw a homework assignment asking his child to write why he was renouncing Islam to become a Jew or a Christian.
Predictably, liberal media slammed McLachlan as a “racist” (Earth to liberals: Islam is not a race). But is he wrong for rejecting the brainwashing of his 12-year-old daughter? Consider Islam’s brutal history of oppressing women, and you can be sure that most reasonable parents would side with McLachlan.
Meanwhile, this Islamization of Europe has quickly become the norm in Western European nations as their Muslim populations skyrocket.
Mohammed is now the most popular boy’s name in the world, starting with the U.K.; Oslo, Norway; Brussels and Antwerp in Belgium; and in four of the biggest cities in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague and Utrecht.
Many observers note that this is not integration; this is an invasion. And it’s not just Europeans who are being brainwashed to embrace a political ideology masquerading as a religion.
In the United States, many public schools (which are supposed to be secular) have prayer rooms set aside to accommodate Muslim students, who pray five times a day. But try to say “Merry Christmas” in these same schools or pray before a high school football game, and you’ll immediately get smacked down.
Martin Mawyer, president of the Christian Action Network, recently threatened to sue the Department of Education for “funding pro-Islamic propaganda.”
Mawyer said federal taxpayer dollars were being used (unbeknownst to parents) to provide an Islamic education program to American public school children grades 5 through 12.
Mawyer said the “educational” lesson plan gives detailed instructions on Islamic prayers and rituals and has teachers quiz students on them.
He was especially outraged because similar lessons are not offered on Christianity, Judaism or any other religion. Mawyer told Fox News that Islam-promoting liberals would be furious if similar lessons on Christianity or another religion were rammed down students’ throats.
“We know the ACLU would be outraged,” Mawyer said. “They’d be running to the courthouse steps with a lawsuit in their hand. They’d probably break a leg trying to get up those steps fast enough!”
If Muslim students were forced to take detailed lessons on Christianity or Judaism, you can be sure their parents would already have filed lawsuits.
In his 2015 novel “Submission,” French satirical writer Michel Houellebecq imagined Paris in 2022, where France’s Islamic party comes to power and Shariah is the law of the land.
Women are forced to wear hijabs and aren’t allowed to work outside the home, Jews are pressured to emigrate to Israel and non-Muslims are forbidden from teaching.
While “Submission” is meant to be satire, could such a new world order be far off given how things are going now?
Public schools are no different. Material things are not mentioned in Islam. We’re losing.
The left instinctively sides with evil.
Allahu FUBAR!
The rest are independents, moderates, and conservatives.
There will be a counter reaction in the U.S. against islam.
And then there is the Saudi Arabian movement toward moderation.
Times are a'changing...but not necessarily toward islam.
Europe on the other hand is gone. That said, it will collapse economically when the shiites (and sunnis) hit the fan.
Islam kills economies first. Then come the deserts.
Many here at FR say islam isn't a religion...it is a war plan.
I suggest they are wrong.
There is a deity--a god--at the center of islam and underlying it--islam. And this god has great power over minds and souls. The evidence of this is quite clear when looking at the brainwashing of islamic militants. They are given over to another kind of thought...of purpose and being.
This is an evil work. Methodical and effective.
Deny its existence at your peril.
Islam has a war plan...but it worships a god who has power over those who believe.
When those who worship that god act out, we see the nature of that god.
The god of islam is destructive...without mercy.
And it isn't just islam...this evil has emerged inside the Left (consider the Antifa...and Devin Patrick Kelly).
Pure evil.
Ignore the truth and you will be merely nipping at the heels of the force behind Islam and the Left.
All that’s missing is wandering livestock, eating the trash. With that you couldn’t tell the difference from a hell hole dump city.
To prepare us to willingly accept our new masters.

A culture that allows this cannot survive.
Christians need to stop turning the other cheek. If schools are accommodating Muslim customs and practices, Christians should demand to be treated equally.
Forcing people to adopt a posture is not the same as "popularity." This name is no different than "Dear Leader" is in North Korea. What choice do they have but to try to make lemonade by taking perverse price in their oppressed situation?
It's not a god, RR. It's a fallen angel, Lucifer, posing as a god.
“Many observers note that this is not integration; this is an invasion.”
This would make a great NY Slimes piece, eh?
FYI...the Biblical consequence for nationally legalized child sacrifice is...invasion and conquest.
into this...?
You’re preaching to the choir. We get it.
NIMBY or NIMCOUNTRY!
The question, of course, is whether it is a 2A religion. The answer is a resounding "NO".
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
