After a teacher at a Virginia school handed out a standard homework assignment on Islam, such an angry backlash flooded in that it prompted officials to close every single school in the county as a safety precaution.

I will not read or be responding to the content of any of your posts. If you continue to post to me, some may conclude that you are a stalker.
The letter from the school reeks so bad that the stench is coming through the screen.
Where did they introduce Hebrew and have the students copy the Ten Commandments in it?
Of NT Greek and have the students copy in it that Jesus is Immanuel, that is God with Us, or copy that Jesus is Lord, or maybe what Pilate wrote and nailed to the cross?
There’s far more effort expended in *educating* the kids about the finer points of islam than any of the other religions they studied from the tone of the letter.
All they did was defend their actions. They did not prove in the least that it was part of an equitable treatment of world religions in that class.
And besides, nobody but an educrat would believe what comes from another educrat when they are defending themselves against the ire of rightfully indignant parents.
BS pure and simple, from the school board. They’re just covering their butts.
Teaching ANYTHING about islam in our school system should be against the law.
Well, maybe teaching the TRUTH about it. Like that mohammed was a pedophile, a lunatic, and a warlord, that they can lie to infidels to advance islam, and that they are called to slaughter them might not be a bad thing.
We do need to be aware of the enemy.
Islam is opposed to REPRESENTATIONAL art, not non-representational art.
Says the public school drone.......
LOL...like that’s happening. I never heard the word ‘islam’ in school, and I am quite clear on what ‘islam’ is, and what it represents.
Yeah. I know.
Because staying ignorant is the best way to deal with anything.
Interesting, you were not intelligent enough to get a degree but your daughter is attending college....
1) There was **no** threat whatsoever!
2) The statement was a “Mean Girl” insult intentionally meant to hurt, smear, and destroy the reputation of **peaceful** Christians.!
Holy Shiite. The equivalent would be to have all the non Christian kids pray to have Jesus be their Lrd and Savior. How far would THAT get? Unbelievable.
Teachers have done enough damage to America’s children without covertly converting them to islam on top of it...
Sorry, the assignment was wrong, and anyone who taught it, or anyone who oversaw these teachers should be fired and permanently banned from similar work.
I took comparative religion in high school, and while we learned about many world religions, including islam, we were not instructed to write or recite any religion’s profession of faith.
This is like having a bunch of Orthodox Jews who are studying the culture of fundamentalist evangelicals in Appalachia and giving them an assignment reciting the words, “Jesus, I acknowledge you are the Son of God and God the Son, and died for my sins, and I invite you into my heart to be my Lord and Savior.”
As a devout Catholic, I recognize that would be deeply inappropriate. I recognize that the “teachers” of such propaganda should be fired, but this is worse. For many moslems, the recitation of the islamic profession of faith makes one a moslem.
The murdering rapists should be required to recite that....or GET OUT!
Gd bless you and Merry Christmas. We parents of kids in classes like yours are so grateful for you, the comfort and support and safety you provide for those who can’t take care of themselves. (We are in a new district where there isn’t a great setup like we used to have so I appreciate the places where they are working!)
NO threat at all.
The schools are reacting as if the parents are going to act like muslims.
Irate parents = *threat*?
Bullsh!’ite.
What nonsense. Their actions more than imply that the school board or superintendent think the parents are going to go off on them and that there’s danger to the students. They’re labeling concerned parents are a danger to their own children.
What a bunch of crap.
If there’s no specific threat, then they were out of line for closing the school. Interesting how if a parent keeps a child home for any reason but an illness, it’s an illegal absence and the parents can get in trouble for it.
I’m not sure to which murdering rapists you’re referring. I didn’t read that any of the folks mentioned in this article were murdering rapists.
Bullsh*t. You got caught, and now you simply trying to cover your islam-enabling *ss.
I wish they would act like muslims. A few fire bombs in the school. Behead a teacher or two. That would put a quick end to this anti-Christian stuff.
