According to Islam once you repeat the Shahada you have converted to Islam. So this teacher is asking his students, as well as the book, to convert to Islam.

And having "converted" to Islam, even if you did not intend to, if you then practice Christianity or anything else, you are guilty of apostasy, and subject to being killed...

We should teach my version of the Shahada. “Their is no god named Allah and Mohammed is a false prophet.”

[Skepolitic]

Lest anybody thinks that recitation of the shahada announces conversion to Islam, here's an Islamic proselytizer's website on this subject:

How to Convert to Islam - The Testimony of Faith (Shahada)

Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process. All that a person has to do is to say a sentence called the Testimony of Faith (Shahada), which is pronounced as:

I testify “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.”

These Arabic words mean, “There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” Once a person says the Testimony of Faith (Shahada) with conviction and understanding its meaning, then he/she has become a Muslim.

To insincerely recite the shahada is blasphemy. Blasphemy in Islam is any impious utterance or action concerning God, Muhammad or anything considered sacred in Islam.

So, the school is either teaching students to blaspheme or to convert to Islam, depending on the sincerity of the recitation.

The penalty for blasphemy is death. The penalty for renouncing Islam is death. So, the school is forcing any Christian student to commit a capital offense under sharia law. I am sure that the local school teacher is simply ignorant of the subject she is teaching. I'm not sure about the textbook authors.

And this is what parents should push and even sue the school for; forced coversion

What it does include ….. is the Shahada and the Five Pillars of Islam. The Shahada is an Islamic creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet. It is recited to convert someone to Islam. That’s right… they are actively converting your children to their religion.
