New Jersey school district apologizes for offending Muslim group with question about ISIS terror group in quiz

The question was offensive and contrary to our values of respect, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity'

A New Jersey school district apologized for offending a Muslim activist group this week after a middle school teacher featured a class quiz question naming the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, as a terror group

The Wayne Township Public Schools superintendent’s office sent out a statement to the district expressing regret over an "inappropriate" question that was asked during a quiz at Schuyler-Colfax Middle School earlier this week.

"The question was offensive and contrary to our values of respect, inclusivity, and cultural sensitivity," the office said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

The superintendent’s letter addressed a recent complaint made by the activist group "Teaching While Muslim" (TWM) on social media.

The group, which describes itself on its website as a network of Muslim educators that confronts "discrimination, implicit bias, and institutional racism" against Muslims in public schools, shared an Instagram post condemning a quiz question that one teacher posed to his seventh-grade students about the Islamic State.

The group shared a screenshot of the question, which read, "It is a terrorist organization that commits acts of violence, destroys cultural artifacts, and encourages loss of life in order to achieve its goal of global rule under strict Islamic Sharia law."

Edutards believe men can get pregnant, so they're gullible and/or intimidated enough to believe the islamic state isn't a terrorist organization.

If there were a "World Series of grievance mongering" like the World Series of poker CAIR and this relatively unknown Teaching While Moslem group would wipe the floor with BLM the SPLC and the HRC

There shouldn’t be any Muslim groups in New Jersey. Every politician that allowed muslkms to enter America should be tried for treason.

School: "Muslim terrorists won't think twice before cutting off your head."

Muslim terrorists: "You better apologize for that or we will cut off your head!"

School: "We don't want our heads cut off, so we apologize for our statement about Muslim terrorists cutting off your head."

Muslim terrorists: "Damn right! And, by the way, we will still cut off your head, if given an opportunity."

Can we please stop apologizing to everyone who feigns being insulted.
They have no problems insulting others.

Better rewrite all of history. Here’s a new outline to avoid triggering the sensitive moslems...

Conquest of the Levant, 634–641 — GOOD!

The Battle of Tours (aka, Battle of Poitiers), 10 October 732 — BAD! Never to be spoken of again.

The capture of Jerusalem in the First Crusade, 1095-1102 — BAD!! Never to be spoken of again.

Saladin’s Conquest of Jerusalem, 1187 CE, GOOD!

The Conquest of Constantinople, 29 May 1453 — GOOD!

The Battle of Lepanto, 7 October 1571 — BAD! Never to be spoken of again.

The Reconquists, Battle of Covadonga in 718 to the fall of the Nasrid kingdom of
Granada to the Catholic Monarchs in 1492 — BAD! Never to be spoken of again.

The Battle of Vienna, 12 September 1683 — BAD! Never to be spoken of again.

The Twin Towers, New York City, 11 Sept 2001 — GOOD!

All the “teachers” and “skool offishals” should be lined up and be forced to kiss the glutus maximuses of the “offended” fuzzy muzzies and their camels.

Hey, muzzies(SPIT!)...

You have the right to life, liberty and happiness.
You do NOT have the right to not be offended.

So were there questions about MAGA, abortion clinic bombers, white supremacists, anti-trans anti-gay activists, the Capitol attack?

Were Muslims the only ones whose ox was gored?

I will wait patiently for the apology to us White Christian Nationalist for being called Terrorist.

But I won’t hold my breath.
