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.

“”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.””

Does anyone know what the teacher/school/school district/school board has to say about this? I should think there would be a real stink raised over the issue. I would hope the father isn’t just going to complain and let it go.....

The root of it is that public education is stuffed with educrats that see Christianity as their primary implacable enemy. This they have in common with Islam, and why they continually promote Islam and deprecate and belittle Christianity.

It is intolerance, hatred, and bigotry.
