Mother Upset Over School Assignment About Islam
The Huffington Post ^ | October 7, 2014 | Rebecca Klein

A mother in Michigan took to Facebook last week to express her outrage over a 10th-grade school assignment that she felt promoted Islam.

In an initial post, Jennette Hall complained about a Jenison High School assignment that asked students to make a pamphlet about Islam. The post, which had been shared over 5,400 times as of Tuesday morning, said students were told the pamphlet would be used to "introduce Islam to 3rd graders." ...

“This assignment upset me because they are presenting Allah as the same God of the Christians and Jews. This paper, in my opinion, is promoting Islam by describing Allahs names as 'beautiful'. To me this is not simply factual like it should be,” Hall wrote about the assignment ...

I have no problem with the assignment ... as long as my son/daughter can inform the 3rd grader that:

- Islam was created by a creepy old man who wants to rape little girls and boys like them
- Islam does not tolerate anyone else’s religion
- Islam hates anyone who draws pictures of their so called prophet
- Islam believes that lying is a good thing
- Islam worships the moon

etc

So the same God who loved the world that He gave His only Son to die for their sins, also gives specific advice to those not following His Son’s message, that these followers are “infidels” and must be slaughtered?

The mother should have ensured the daughter’s pamphlet had a picture of....a person’s head being cut off.

Oh, they’ll allow every other religion to do this - with the exception of Judaism and especially Christianity.

I’ll bet this is also a school which promotes “diversity” and “inclusion.” How hypocritical, how typical.

Is there a requirement that the pamphlet be positive toward islam?

If not, then I’ll be happy to help her 10th grader with their homework.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

You need to inform the Catholic Church. They say Muslims and Catholics serve the same god.
