The Not-So-Subtle Ways Public Schools Promote Islam at the Expense of Christianity
National Review ^ | October 13, 2015 | David French

Posted on 10/13/2015 1:25:55 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Here in Tennessee, the public battle over Islamic indoctrination in public schools rages on. Last month, I reported that parents in my home county were upset after their Middle School-age children were forced to recite the Shahada – the declaration that there is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet. Following this revelation, my old colleagues at the American Center for Law and Justice filed open records requests with Tennessee school districts, demanding to see copies of policies, communications, and curriculum related to instruction in Islam and other world religions. Incredibly, several school districts flatly refused to comply with the request. And now my state representative, Sheila Butt, has introduced a bill that would ban the teaching of all “religious doctrine” in public schools until at least the tenth grade, a bill that CAIR says is rooted in “Islamophobic claims.”

Besides common core, TN is a major sanctuary state.

Notice how over the past few years CAIR has given up all pretense of being benign friendly organization?

Cair is a useless organization and has the right to demand NOTHING. I think the kids should all have to say Catholicism is the only religion, God is in favor of Catholicism, the Pope is the boss of everybody......who could complain about that?????sheesh

So, if it was “bad” for Christians to invade muslim territory in the name of religion, why isn’t it just as bad that the muslims invaded Europe? You won’t hear that side of the story in school.

I did...of course I was in a Catholic school......the Crusades are just one more reason for all Christian denominations to say thanks to the Catholics so they don't have to learn to speak arabic.

I don’t fear muslims, I don’t hate muslims. Muslims are like snakes to me, if I don’t find them in my yard or around my kids they get to live. There are too many maniacs among them to allow any more in the country.

why isn’t someone suing over separation of church and state? if they were being forced to say the Lord’s Prayer there would certainly be screaming at all levels. After all what’s fair is fair.

Yes, the Muslims will kill all the liberals once they take over but at least half the Democrats politicians out there have a plan to save their own necks by selling the other half to the executioner.

Apparently the freedom from religion & the aclu are too busy targeting Christians to bother suing schools over muslim indoctrination.

“Incredibly, several school districts flatly refused to comply with the request.”

This isn’t rocket science. Conservatives need to get off their lazy butts, show up at the schoolboard meetings and tell them to stop this muslim propaganda...or else. Liberals are castrated little wimps and will cave in at the first hint of determined resistant and confrontation.

And while you’re at it, elect a 2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your counties. If you can’t show up to protect your families and communities, then learn how to yodel and bow to the muslim moon god.

I don’t hate them, but in college in the 70’s I lived in a dormitory with foreign exchange middle easterners. Let’s just say I have first hand experience with them that fostered a strong distaste for them. We do not need them here and we do not want them here.

Don’t know why there isn’t a lawsuit from an individual.
Jay Sekulow has a petition at his website.

What do they think will happen when females are attacked for going to school here? We already had terrorist bombings and honor killings; no reason to think this genuine “war on women” won’t rear its head.

I’m glad I don’t have daughters; let the two “preferred victim” groups battle it out...

Don’t get me wrong. Muslim religion is a gutter religion and anyone that professes to it I refuse to associate with. I don’t need to waste my few moments on earth with scum that believe it is their right to enslave or kill me because the inbred prophet of an obscure, moon god said so.

Muslims belong in the desert wasted far away from civilization.

Totalitarianism hates liberty. Control seeks control and likes it. The American system founded on Christian ideals of liberty is contrary to all that. Islam and Progressivism have more in common despite differences in language, culture and geography, than is at first apparent.
Furthermore, they both serve the same master who seeks slavery/domination and does so by lies.

I believe and think you are right. Money along with threats of some kind. Or else it is there is just a dangerous mass delusion going on. The former sounds most likely.

Why are public schools pushing islam? Are they being bribed? Threatened? I just don’t get it.

Leftists run the schools. They tell the liberal teachers what to do. The liberal teachers do it. Period.

There is no "why" for a liberal teacher.
