Okay, so they made them wear towels on their heads. But did they teach them the most efficient way to go about a homicide bombing, what to study in flight school and how to bite the hand that feeds them?

A child cannot voluntarily bring a Bible to school, pray, or recite the Pledge of Allegiance but, he can be forced to be a Muslim. Twisted.

[TADSLOS]

As part of an Islam simulation" project, students prayed in the name of Allah, chose a Muslim name, and played a "jihad" dice game

Hey, why not? They have spare time on their hands now since they won't be allowed to cite the Pledge of Allegiance.

[ArrogantBustard]

I suppose they then spent three weeks each learning to be Baptist, Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox, and Presbyterian? No? Hmmmmm.... Something's wrong, here...

[EggsAckley]

When my brother's kid was this age they were being taught American Sign Language (a cursory course in it.) Being at that smart-ass age, this kid wouldn't talk; if she was being asked about something or to do something, she would respond by using her (basically pretend) "sign" language. It was infuriating. I can picture these kids coming home and quoting the Qu'ran just to tick off their parents. I'd sue too.

[Alouette]

Students were required to memorize Muslim prayers, fulfill the Five Pillars of Faith and fast during lunch period

Did this assignment also require reciting the Shihada? ("There is no *** but Allah, &c.") Saying this in public automatically makes one a convert to Islam. Then, according to jihadi law, these people are subject to the death penalty as "apostates" if they continue to practice their original religion.

[swarthyguy]

According to Islam, all these kids are hereby considered Muslims, whether they or their parents acknowledge it or not. Stupid Dummy School Admins with no knowledge of islam or its practices willing assisting in the conversion of their kids. No mention of whose idea it was in the first place. With no evidence, my suspicion falls on all the 'mainstream' islamic groups of America who probably sold this to the school as an outreach, tolerance building and sharing islam with others measure.


They're Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!!

California schools are atrocious and have been for many years! The perverts have ascended to positions of power and leadership throughout the society but most prominently in the schools. California is going to Hell and fast. I've got to wonder if it will ever recover! I went from grade-school through college here, in another era, but the level of education in California today is demoralising.

students prayed in the name of Allah

AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH What on earth made this school think this was legal. If the pledge is illegal, and if you can't say God in a commencement speech, then this is illegal. Actually, this was ALREADY illegal. It is coersion and religious indoctrination. I hope the students and parents take all of the school district's money for this civil rights violation.

Although this is sickening, it doesn't surprise me at all. I am constantly hearing about how all of the Middle Eastern studies departments around our nation's colleges are being bought out by Saudi Arabian donors and converted to basically Islamic Studies departments.

I wanted to ask any of the Freepers if they can point out any documentation of this phenomenon, or contradict it?

[Illbay]

I'm going to be fascinated to know what the Ninth Circuit decides here, assuming it gets to them.

[ladtx]

At the risk of offending some good, conservative Californians but California is becoming a joke. Hollywood is a town full of hypocrites, the school system now is showing its rearend to the rest of the world and its courts are racing into judiciary senility. Californians used to be able to hold their nose in the air to the rest of us in the hinterlands with their so-called progressive attitudes. But now they just need to hold their nose so as not to be sickened by the apparent sewage their public officials seem to spew and then wallow in. The rest of the country is beginning to snicker when the name California is mentioned where in the past it was mentioned with an tinge of envy. No more.

/RANT OFF.

[usconservative]

Let's see here ...

The 9th District Court (the most OVER-TURNED Court in the land!) says that we must take out "UNDER GOD" from the Pledge of Allegiance, but Allah is ok?

Do I have this right?

[cubreporter]

Well, I don't know about the rest of you but...I would NOT have allowed my children to take part in this ridiculous process. I would have fought it all the way and appeared on every TV, radio station that would have me to shout it from the higest mountain. No, my children shall not be Muslims or anything else for 1 second or three weeks! It's up to the parents to fight these things...kids are kids and go along but...the parents have to be the responsible adults and take a stand. I'd pull my kids out before I would have let them participate. That's once again forcing the left's ideas on everyone else. It's time the buck stopped where it should. With the parents and the American people. This is America and One Nation Under God!!!

[Drew68]

According to the lawsuit, students were encouraged to dress as Muslims and to use such phrases in their speech as 'Allah Akbar,' which is Arabic for 'God is great.'

Interestingly enough, strict ragheads abhor the usage of "Allah Akbar" by non-mohammedans.

What has the Left Coast come to? For all thinking Kalifornians, it's time to either move or take over the asylum by force.

[weikel]

As part of an Islam simulation" project, students prayed in the name of Allah, chose a Muslim name, and played a "jihad" dice game, according to the group that filed the lawsuit. The Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center is representing parents and children in the lawsuit against the Byron Unified School District.

I thought the 1st amendment forbade this kinda crap.

[abishai]

FORGET THE MIDEAST OR MEXICO! We need to invade and liberate Kalifornia!
