If any of you are trying to put a pamphlet together, please let me know. We're organizing a protest in front of the school by the end of the week hopefully. It would be great to have something to hand out.

Also, poster ideas would be a big help. It looks like this may be a huge protest. Such a pamphlet could be used by FReepers all over the country.

I hope to have one put together for my own fight with my daughter's public school's lunacy; but probably not by your protest this week. But if you are good with creating brochures using basic software, or know someone who is, take some of the ideas here and go with it. And I have seen some great poster ideas here on FR. "I learned everything I need to know about Islam on 9/11" is a powerful statement. Anyone else have ideas for pistolpaknmama? I am very proud that you are protesting this insanity at the school. I wish I could be there, but I am there in spirit. All we can do is fight back, and as Americans, we excel in fighting back! (and you are a Southerner, too, so you get extra points...)

Guys, I have called the Principal's office of this school. I requested why mr. Arastu is permitted in the first place to mislead the kids by discussing about the 5 pillars of Islam. The principal's office has no answer except to say "he does not work here anymore okay?", then I asked the principal that the administration, going forward should promise me not to permit instructors to teach the misleading information that Mr.Arastu was allowed to teach about the historic background of the American constitution, its evolution and the fundamental founding principles of America. The principal seems very irritated and said "don't you hear me, he does not work here anymore". At that point I asked again "are you going to promise me such acts as those perpetrated by Mr.Arastu, teaching Islam in the class won't happen in the class again?" At this repreated question, they hung up on me bluntly.

Please call the school as much as you can and let the school know that, TEACHING THAT ISLAM, LIKE CHRISTIANITY IS ALSO THE FOUNDATION OF AMERICA, as Mr.Arastu was teaching WILL NOT ME TOLERATED.

I'll post that snippet of Oxen in Fla's info from the " Holiday Tree Removed From Federal Courthouse" thread here, too:

'Howard Simon, Executive Director of the ACLU of Florida, said the decision should send a message to other U.S. school districts that were considering adopting the New Testament curriculum. He also said the ACLU would monitor and videotape the Old Testament classes.

"If we find that these so-called history classes remain disguised religion classes,
or that they are not taught in an objective manner,
or that they are an attempt to indoctrinate students with a particular religious point of view,
then we will be back before Judge Kovachevich with the videotapes and other evidence," Simon said.
Kovachevich said she expected the ACLU to monitor and videotape the classes and return to her court if it was dissatisfied with the courses.'
