ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center (“TMLC”), a national nonprofit public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, filed a federal lawsuit yesterday evening in the New Jersey District Court against several officials and teachers of the Chatham Middle School and the School District of the Chathams, located in New Jersey.
The lawsuit, claiming several violations of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, was filed on behalf of Libby Hilsenrath and her minor son. Seventh-grade students at Chatham Middle School were forced to endure Islamic propaganda and an explicit call to convert to Islam through a disturbing set of videos in their World Cultures and Geography class.
TMLC’s affiliated New Jersey attorney, Michael Hrycak, filed the lawsuit. TMLC staff attorney, Kate Oliveri, the principle drafter of the federal complaint, observed: “The Board of Education and other Defendants are waging a war against the religious protections afforded by the First Amendment. They attack religious liberty by enticing young school children with a direct call to convert to Islam and providing a step-by-step guide on how to effect that conversion.”
One of the videos, linked in this press release, seeks to convert students to Islam and is filled with the Islamic religious beliefs presented as facts, as well as pure Islamic propaganda. This five-minute video ends with the prayer “May God help us all find the true faith, Islam. Ameen.”

Same thing with people in prisons.
That lawsuit would have to be filed by the Americans United for Separation of Mosque and State. I heard such an organization was formed, but all the members were beheaded.
It is funny, there are passages and phrases even Islamic scholars don’t understand along with satanic verses in the most perfect book the cornhole ran. Can one call BS?
But that is not what they are teaching the little feminists snowflakes. They are teaching them Islam respects and protects women. You have a whole generation who wants to be coddled and protected from all of life’s discomforts. Their female Islamic manipulators are telling them how Islam would never allow Harvey Weinstein stuff to happen to them and trust me they are buying it. Here in Indianapolis every time there is some protest by college girls there are always one or two Muslim girls in the middle of the mob egging the little white girls into a frenzy that would get them beheaded or beaten in a Muslim country.
Liberal groups support the separation of CHURCH and State. They have never claimed to support a separation of Mosque and State.
I hope more liberals wake up.
The GOP is guilty, too. Remember, W said he prays to the same God that the Muslims pray to. I guess he thinks Jesus also answers to Allah.
I hope more liberals wake up.
Everybody has to have a dream................Good Luck with that one!
The “planners” had an easy job going up against a lukewarm church.
Whatever Islam is, it isn’t lukewarm.
I understand what they are trying to do, but as those white she-snowflakes age they’ll eventually learn the truth about Islam. I personally knew two infidel women married to Muslim guys - and both were beaten by them. Those truths can’t be concealed.
They will...when this whole push to “include women at the table” runs smack into powerful Muslims who will ensure they never have to deal with women unless they are wrapped in burqas and accompanied by male relatives. Do you think wealthy Arab Muslims deal with feminism on any level?
At some point some people get a hankering from being beaten, whether with sticks and stones or with words, believing in their dispirited weakness that this bestows a desirable power.
At some point some people get a hankering for being beaten....
At some point some people get a hankering for being beaten....
The video repeats the lie (invented in the West) that Islam “saved science” in the Middle Ages.
Although the teaching of all religions is mandatory in New Jersey schools....It shouldn’t. Reading writing and arithmetic belong in schools not religious teaching of any kind. That belongs in the home and churches, not in schools. When you start teaching religion in schools you get this, fighting among the religions and infighting between the different sects. STOP! Teach these kids how to read and write and at least do simple math.
Yep when churches became social clubs more interested in earthly issues than the eternal salvation they became easy targets. The funny thing was they never realized that the looser and more humanist they became hoping to keep parishioners the quicker those parishioners moved on.
Well, there were a lot of Arabic texts from the classical age of Greece, though they were almost all written by Jews. Today it’s pretended they came from Muslims.
Amen to that!!
The elimination of the mandatory school readings came, I believe, at the point where they would have done little good anyhow. The school wasn’t positioned to be an arm of the church anyhow. It couldn’t be credible.
Private gospel sharing works better.
