A Maryland high school punished a student for refusing to profess faith in Islam, gave her failing grades for a series of assignments that violated her Christian beliefs then threatened her father with arrest for complaining, a federal lawsuit charges.
The suit was filed in U.S. District Court against the Charles County Public Schools in La Plata, Maryland, its board of education, Principal Evelyn Arnold and Vice Principal Shannon Morris by the Thomas More Law Center.
[ ]
The lawsuit charges that the defendants' "curriculum, practices, policies, actions, procedures, and customs promote the Islamic faith by requiring students to profess the five pillars if Islam."
The students, the complaint says, were required to "write out and confess the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith."
The lawsuit charges that school officials concealed the curriculum by using two separate history textbooks, one of which contained the Islamic teachings and which students were required to leave at school. The other, which did not contain the teachings, was allowed to be taken home, the complaint explains. The school also excised the Islamic teachings from the course syllabus.
[ ]
"Defendants have treated plaintiffs' Christian beliefs and heritage with deliberate indifference, and have been hostile toward C.W. [the student] and her family," the complaint alleges. It explains the Arnold and Morris violated the First and Fourteenth Amendments as well as state and federal law by "depriving plaintiffs and C.W. of their fundamental right to be free from a public school's promotion of certain religious beliefs, their fundamental right to be able to speak freely and raise concerns about religion being taught in our public schools without retaliation, and their fundamental right to be free from unjust discrimination against their Christian heritage."

CRICKETS from the “separation of church and state” crowd,,,
You would think that the American government and press would be sensitive to the needs of a Marine Corps veteran who saw the atrocities committed by Muslims and doesn’t want his child to suffer under Sharia, but, oh, wait, no... that doesn’t fit the narrative.
America is under attack, and most of us are asleep.
also from article
“For non-Muslims, reciting the statement is sufficient to convert one to Islam,” the complaint says. “Moreover, the second part of the statement, ‘Muhammad is the messenger of Allah,’ signifies the person has accepted Muhammad as their spiritual leader. The teenager was also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam.”

WT...? This is a violation of “church and state”. Somebody needs to have their asses sued off. Kids are celebrated for refusing to say The Pledge of Allegiance but they are punished for refusing to pledge their “faith” to radical Islam? I don’t think we’re in America anymore, Toto.
Public schools are Satan’s American masterpiece.
Fact!
This is Satan’s time.
This is exactly what I’d expect in a country that doesn’t have a Constitution that guarantees that the State shall not endorse a particular religion. Oh, wait...
That family should be given a scholarship to send their child to Catholic school
“There is no God but the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Satan.”
That should be a B, since I got more than 80% of the words right.
“That family should be given a scholarship to send their child to Catholic school”
Right after they put a tomahawk with a unitary warhead into the window of the administrative offices of that school.
Most American public school systems are infected with the same malady that western European societies are.
Why aren’t all the parents & students protesting???
Why aren’t all the parents & students protesting???
Seriously
Those kids cannot even say “ Merry Christmas” on school property but they have to memorize the pillars of islam?

It is not just this school; it is common core
Go to this link - hypertext links in the article
Common Core: Even classroom education has not escaped the tentacles of the Muslim Brotherhood. The connection between Common Core and the international terror group is through, once again, Qatar. The Connect All Schools initiative is a program to promote “One World Education.” It is aligned to Common Core State Standards, and is funded by the Qatar Foundation International (QFI). The director of QFI’s Research Center for Islamic Legislation and Ethics is Tariq Ramadan, grandson of Muslim Brotherhood founder, Hassan al-Banna.

The big secret - Common Core is the indoctrination of Global Marxism!!!!
Common Core Not State Led - Here’s Proof

Many parents across the country are protesting. See post 16
This is common core.
If the school’s study of Christianity had required the students to recite the Apostle’s Creed, the resulting lawsuit would be breaking news on the major networks, especially if there were any Muslim students in the mix.
This is an absolute and total outrage. Sue until you die. I would have told officials you would have to kill me to force this on me or anyone in my family. Death would be more honorable.
