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."

Maryland ping. Sharia indoctrination in LaPlata high school being fought.
She doesn’t belong in a public school.
God said that Satan will send a false prophet. His name is mohamed.
His followers are skipping the effort to convert adults and going straight for the next generation.

That’s ok, it can never happen ‘here’, just at ‘those crappy schools’ over ‘there’.

I would love to know how this turns out.
You’d expect them to take the opportunity to say to all the country - “see what we meant the whole time” - but they’re not actually worried about the substance in any way.
I've had past discussions with leftist morons on this very subject (the failure/refusal of the elders to respond to the aggression) and gotten shouted down.
The story (history) is usually told by the victors and in this case, the glorification of a warped, murderous and evil culture has been disguised and few can see that or even want to see it.
The glorification of a warped, murderous and evil culture (islam) is now underway again, with the leftist sycophants leading the way.
In our schools, our governments, our entertainment...you name it, our children and impressionable youth are being indoctrinated.
I'm an old warrior...I only know one way to fight it, and should it come to that, I will...with every thing I have at my disposal.
My deep, abiding concern is that your message, and any other message of this nature, is being effectively shunted aside by the leftist loons that are permeating every segment of society.
They cannot turn it aside with intelligent responses, so they throw labels of racism, ignorance, bigotry.
Keep up the good work...and watch your six.
In a perfect world, the people responsible for this type of garbage would get the hell beaten out of them.
Curious... What would the charge have been had they arrested the dad? Disturbing the peace, I suppose...
Wow! This is a very big story. Of course, the news media are all over it, right?
What worries me is all the kids that did pledge.

New Lawsuit Challenges Constitutionality of Common Core
http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/06/22/new-lawsuit-challenges-constitutionality-of-common-core/
The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) has joined in filing a lawsuit against the governor of North Dakota and other officials that claims the state’s participation in one of the federally funded interstate Common Core test consortia and the implementation of the Common Core standards is unconstitutional and violates federal laws that ban federal control of public schools and curriculum.
In February, Cole County, Missouri Circuit Judge Daniel Green ruled that the interstate consortium that is creating one of the tests aligned with the Common Core standards is an “unlawful interstate compact to which the U.S. Congress has never consented.”

At the national level, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R) has brought a lawsuit against the Obama administration’s Department of Education, one that syndicated radio host Hugh Hewitt and his fellow law professor John Eastman have said could be as significant as the court’s decision in Texas to halt Obama’s executive amnesty.
Jindal’s lawsuit claims that “through regulatory and rule making authority, Defendants have constructed a scheme that effectively forces States down a path toward a national curriculum.”
