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.”

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

I have a theory on this.

Bill Ayers and Obama in their "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" Marxist days, . . . their enemy is Capitalism and Western Civilization. . . Ayers heavily influences the Department of Education and Common Core. . . Both Ayers and Obama know socialism/communism and Islam view capitalism as their enemy.

They have amalgamated the two, promoted the two and have now incorporated both in our schools. Destroy America and Western Civilization. . you know those evil capitalists and colonialists . . That's their mantra.

Do you remember Obama carrying this book around during the 2008 campaign, "The Post American World"?

What does Obama want for America after America is gone? What's his long term vision after the fundamental transformation?

Is this not sedition? Are they both domestic enemies? Why are they both not under arrest for suspected treason? Almost everything Obama does undermines the country, the culture and rewrites our history. He is a lawless President who blatantly ignores the constitution and the rule of law. He is a soft tyrant at best and a full blown communist/islamist dictator at worst. And we have 391 days until Obama and Ayers are out of office. What evil will they continue to do then?

The fact that Ayers and his wife are walking around tells me all I need to know about America’s justice system.

Actually, what they should be doing is making other plans for their kids’ education — homeschooling or private or religious schools. Why is that so difficult? Too lazy? Hope the problems are all going to go away? That the problems won’t affect your kids?

Today’s public school administrators have absolutely no respect for parents’ wishes regarding their children’s education. Why would you send your children to a school that treats you and your children as if your opinions don’t matter?

You’ll find another way to educate your kids and close down the schools.
You pay their salaries. Tell them to take a hike.

Combine Planned Parenthood and every Islam in the same building. They can trade notes and kill each other.

“You pay their salaries. Tell them to take a hike.”

Agree 1,000%.

Parents need to take back their public schools from the purse-carrying leftists. My gosh, how hard can that be? Show up at a schoolboard meeting and read the riot act to these wimps. These leftist simpletons have names and addresses. Go visit them and tell these castrated fools that they’re no longer welcome in the community. Ostracize them. Sell them no food, no water, no fuel and no handicapped parking spots.

It’s not that difficult to run leftist cowards out of town.

Easy answer: anything to undermine American constitutional principles. Embrace every foolish and evil policy to do so.

Most people don’t vote in school board elections, which are usually won by liberals even in “conservative” districts. People are too uninformed to know much of anything.

The American people say they are against slavery and for “civil rights”, but they seem to be reconciled to slavery for themselves without “civil rights” to protect them.

There are whole counties and even entire states where, if conservatives and Christians removed their children from the government K-12 schools, the entire evil system of government owned ,socialist-entitlement, and price-fixed cartel K-12 schools would immediately **implode**!

Your county and state might even be one of them. Mine is, yet, conservative and Christians feed the beast with their precious children.

Yes, go an fight the school board. Parents and concerned citizens have been doing this for several generations and the government cartel schools just get worse. The permanent fix is to shut them down. Permanently!

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.

“People are too uninformed to know much of anything.”

That’s a fact. Spring local elections get about 10-12% of the electorate voting. If Conservatives got off their fat, mammon-worshipping butts and voted in serious numbers, they could take over local schoolboards, county councils, city and town councils and township boards.

If conservatives controlled even half the local governments, the entire criminal fascist syndicate occupying Washington would collapse in less than a year.

The Founders understood that and created Committees of Safety to control the local governments. In fact, the Committees of Safety were so powerful that they kicked the king’s governor out of South Carolina before the Sullivan Island battle in Charleston Harbor in 1776.
