California School District Forced To Dump CAIR’s Islamic Indoctrination Program

San Diego district settles federal lawsuit brought by Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund.

The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund forced an unprecedented lawsuit settlement on the San Diego Unified School District, which partnered with the terrorism-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations, requiring the district to shut down its discriminatory, unconstitutional “anti-Islamophobia initiative.”

The embattled CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in 2007 in an alleged criminal conspiracy to support both HAMAS and the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development. In 2014 the United Arab Emirates designated CAIR a terrorist organization.

CAIR, which poses as a Muslim civil rights organization, falsely claimed that President Trump’s election caused a wave of attacks on Muslim students in the San Diego school district.

In fact, the discrimination ran the other way, against those who were not Muslim.

“CAIR’s insinuation that there are hordes of MAGA hat-wearing students prowling the schools and terrorizing Muslim students is a study in mass deception,” said Charles LiMandri, chief counsel for FCDF.

The Shillman Foundation provided funding to the Rancho Santa Fe, California-based Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund to pursue this case in federal court.

David Horowitz, founder of the David Horowitz Freedom Center (publisher of FrontPage), recognized Shillman for his vital contribution to this legal triumph. “Our patron, Dr. Bob Shillman was behind this victory. Bob is a fighter and we are proud of our association with this stand-up American.”

LiMandri said that the school district’s collaboration with CAIR allowed Islamists to run wild in San Diego schools.

“Under the guise of promoting inclusivity, CAIR had unfettered power to target conservative Christian students and smear them as ‘Islamophobic’ if they don’t accept Islam. More broadly, the liberal school board ran roughshod over the First Amendment by empowering CAIR to indoctrinate impressionable children. We applaud our clients for standing up and fighting back.”

As part of its Project for Religious Liberty in America’s Schools, FCDF informs school authorities nationwide about CAIR’s Islamist infiltration agenda as well as the organization’s ties to terrorism. Among the school districts affected are Seattle Public Schools, Minneapolis Public Schools, Cajon Valley Unified School District, and Gilroy Unified School District. FCDF said it has sent policy memos to the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education, advising them of the pernicious effects of so-called “anti-Islamophobia” initiatives in public schools.

In May 2017, FCDF filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California on behalf of five families and two advocacy organizations, Citizens for Quality Education and San Diego Asian Americans for Equality. The legal complaint asserted that the San Diego Unified School District’s “anti-Islamophobia initiative,” launched to fight purported anti-Muslim bullying somehow allegedly inspired by President Trump, violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.

The idea is to eventually make it as difficult and uncomfortable as possible to criticize the faith founded by Muhammad in the seventh century after the birth of Christ. And a lot of well-heeled funders are part of a long-term campaign aimed at mainstreaming the tenets of Islam in American society.

The political correctness that has metastasized in American culture aids Islamist groups like CAIR by requiring that no one speak ill of Islam or say anything that might stigmatize or “other-ize” a Muslim in any way. All Americans must think and say only nice things about Islam. CAIR and its ilk are determined to stamp out criticism of Islam, and they have an army of nonprofit organizations, foundations, academics, media outlets, and name-calling activists to help them.

Supreme Court precedent holds that “government must be neutral toward religion; and it may not aid, foster, or promote one religion or religious belief over other religions or religious beliefs,” the complaint stated.

The school district’s program, developed with CAIR, required training on “how to become allies to Muslim students,” and allowed CAIR officials to teach students about Islamic religious practices and change school curricula to provide an “inclusive” portrayal of Islam. Students and parents had to watch biased videos

The program at issue began in April 2017 based on the lie that Trump’s election caused a tidal wave of Islamophobia to swamp schools. As FCDF argued in the lawsuit, the district accepted bogus evidence from Muslim students and skewed “bullying” surveys that generated questionable evidence of discrimination against Muslims. State records indicate there is no evidence of so-called Islamophobia in the school district.

CAIR isn’t the only well-funded radical group pushing the line that Trump’s ascendancy has ushered in a new age of intolerance. The far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, which in recent days pushed out its founder, Morris Dees, and its president, Richard Cohen, unveiled an ambitious propaganda offensive in 2017 called “The Trump Effect.”

The legal complaint against the San Diego Unified School District stated that its CAIR-sponsored program ran afoul of the Constitution for singling out Muslim students for preferential benefits and for giving CAIR what amounted to governmental decision-making authority, which in the process unconstitutionally entangled government with religion.

Under the terms of the legal settlement, the school district had to permanently drop the program and not permit CAIR to spread propaganda in its schools.

The district is required to make sure that all students are equally protected from bullying and harassment, regardless of religion. The district sent out a policy memo to area superintendents and principals about the First Amendment’s “limits on the conduct of public school officials as it relates to religious activity.”

School officials have been instructed to correct the pro-Muslim bias and blatantly disproportionate emphasis on Islamic history in the curriculum.

Educators now have to “treat each religion with equal respect, with the time and attention spent discussing each religion being proportionate to its impact on history and human development and the material presented in its historical context.”

Educational materials dealing with religious subject matter “must be neutral and may not be presented in a manner that promotes one religion over another.”

School officials inviting guest speakers to district events “must ask them not to use their position or influence on students to forward their own religious, political, economic or social views or and shall take active steps to neutralize whatever bias has been presented.”

Guest speakers from religious organizations “are not permitted to present to students on religious topics.”

“This is a tremendous victory against radical Islamic indoctrination in America’s schools,” said LiMandri. “This settlement agreement will serve as a warning to politically correct school boards nationwide to think twice about partnering with CAIR.”

That's just the beginning......the rag-headed Muslim joke in Congress has convinced herself, she alone makes US policy.

As a Minnesota state representative, joke-Omar asked a judge to show leniency for a group of men who were convicted of trying to join ISIS. “The best deterrent to fanaticism is a system of compassion,” Omar wrote in a letter to the judge presiding over the case. “We must alter our attitude and approach; if we truly want to effect change, we should refocus our efforts on inclusion and rehabilitation.” One of the men she had asked for compassion for had told the judge, “I was not going there to pass out medical kits or food. I was going strictly to fight and kill on behalf of the Islamic State.”

CAIR has been named as unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorist financing case in U.S. history. Rep. Omar has conveniently called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement — as well as the Department of Homeland Security — to be defunded.

This creepy woman is traveling around to Muslim countries acting as if SHE and SHE alone makes policy for the US.

The rag-headed creep has an agenda no one could ever imagine.
Omar has been very busy-----setting up her world-wide terrorist connections.

Here she is, just a few weeks after her election to Minnesota's state legislature.
The sap-happy Omar is chatting up then-Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, a favorite for re-election.
He reportedly invited her---a state legislator--- to appear beside him prior to the Somali election taking place.

The Minn legislator Endorsed Somalia’s New President. Four Days Later, Omar’s BIL Had a Powerful Job in the Somali Administration.

What was the deal she made with the corrupt-ridden Somali govt? Are the violent Somalians she once fled,
privy to US security reports from Omar's current position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee? Duh.

==================================

A foray into foreign politics, should have disqualified her from getting US security clearance.
How did she get US security clearance in Congress? Did she falsify govt documents?

Free Beacon Report – Ilhan "The Joke" Omar Holding Secret Fundraisers With Groups Tied To Islamic Terror…

Free Beacon Report----Democratic freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (Democrat--Minn.) has been holding a series of secret fundraisers with groups that have been tied to the support of terrorism, appearances that have been closed to the press and hidden from public view. The content of these speeches, given to predominately Muslim audiences, remains unknown, prompting some of Omar’s critics to express concern about the type of rhetoric she is using before these paying audiences, particularly in light of the lawmaker’s repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes in public.

Omar recently spoke in Florida at a private event hosted by Islamic Relief, a charity organization long said to have deep ties to groups that advocate terrorism against Israel. Over the weekend, she will appear at another private event in California that is hosted by CAIR PAC, a political action committee affiliated with the Council on American Islamic Relations, a group that was named co-conspirator in a massive terror-funding incident.

Omar’s appearance at these closed-door forums is raising eyebrows due to her repeated and unapologetic public use of anti-Semitic stereotypes accusing Jewish people of controlling foreign policy and politics. With Omar’s popularity skyrocketing on the anti-Israel left, it appears her rhetoric is translating into fundraising prowess.

It remains unclear what Omar has told these audiences in her private talks. Free Beacon attempts to obtain video of past events were unsuccessful, and multiple local news and television outlets in Tampa where Omar spoke to Islamic Relief last month, confirmed they were unable to gain access to the closed door event. Islamic Relief has come under congressional investigation for what lawmakers have described as its efforts to provide assistance to terrorist group such as Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The charity has been banned by some countries as a result of these ties.

In 2017, Congress sought to ban taxpayer funds from reaching the charity due to these terror links.

On Sunday, Omar will hold another meet and greet in Irvine, Calif., for CAIR PAC. Those wishing to hear Omar speak are being asked to donate anywhere from $50 to $250 dollars, according to a flyer for the event. The CAIR event also appears closed to the press.

CAIR, a Muslim advocacy group known for its anti-Israel positions, was named by the U.S. government as part of a large network of groups known to be supporting Hamas. CAIR has been cited by the Anti-Defamation League, or ADL, for using its network of supporters to promote an “anti-Israel agenda.” “CAIR’s anti-Israel agenda dates back to its founding by leaders of the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), a Hamas affiliated anti-Semitic propaganda organization,” according to the ADL. “While CAIR has denounced specific acts of terrorism in the U.S. and abroad, for many years it refused to unequivocally condemn Palestinian terror organizations and Hezbollah by name, which the U.S. and international community have condemned and isolated.”

“I just wonder what is Rep. Omar saying to a group of Islamic supporters that she feels is so secretive that she cannot say it to the American people, as a whole?” Stern wondered. “What is so secretive that it has to be off the record and closed to reporters? Will she say the same things in public to her Jewish voters in Minnesota that she says to her Islamic friends? What does this tell us about her openness, her honesty and her integrity?”

One veteran Republican political operative expressed concern about the secretive nature of these talks, telling the Free Beacon that Democrats must hide behind-closed-doors to appease these groups with anti-Israel rhetoric. “Of course she’s holding these meetings in secret. That’s just how Democrats roll these days,” the source said. “They’re for limiting your ability to spend money on the candidates you want to support, and for secretly fundraising from Islamist groups who support them. It really puts their support for campaign finance reform into perspective.”

“Rep. Omar’s presence as a keynote speaker to raise funds for Islamic Relief USA, whose parent organization and chapters have documented ties to terrorist organizations, demonstrates that she has learned next to nothing over the last few weeks when she was reprimanded by your office and by other Democrats for posting ugly, anti-Semitic attacks on Jews and their organizations,” the pro-Israel groups wrote in a letter send to House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Elliott Engel (D., N.Y.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.).
