Massachusetts high school students pretended to be Muslims in the "Islamic" city of Jerusalem as part of a class assignment used in Newton Public Schools to teach about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a new report revealed.

One father was particularly upset when he discovered his daughter had been assigned what he described as an inflammatory pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel article, according to the report. The man was allegedly told by the school's principal that lessons the next year would be even more upsetting to him.

"As our concluding project on the Islamic world, you will work in groups to simulate a historical hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca in class," a teacher wrote in the assignment description. "Each of you will be part of a group of Muslim pilgrims from one of the following eight Islamic cities or regions, around a rough time period."

Don’t worry the ACLU will be all over this.

Anyone not familiar with Greater Boston...Newton is a very wealthy,very “progressive”,very Jewish suburb of Boston.Although I haven't checked the numbers I'll wager that Newton went 85-10 for ILLary.

[txnativegop]

if I were the parent of a student, the teacher and I would be having a dark alley type of conversion very soon.

[Mr. K]

SOMEONE PLEASE SUE THEM FOR “SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE”

They killed all Christmas and Jewish holidays using that.

File a lawsuit demanding that they stop observing Christmas, Hanuka, AND RAMADAN.

Demand that they teach what the Koran teaches... about GAYS, and WOMEN.

Watch their heads explode.

When is the beheading class?

My brother did that to his lib teacher. Call it a “talk” or “threat” whatever, the imbecile was teaching about the benefits of faggotry in my nephew’s grade school. Parents were mad as it is a conservative district.

[longfellow]

This is the original Tea party State, the students should’ve told the teacher to f off.

[I want the USA back]

Just preparing the kids to understand their replacements.

[txnativegop]

didn’t get in trouble did he?

[Maceman]

If I were a high school student in that class, I would wear a yarmulke to demonstrate the experience of a Jew who tried to enter Mecca (or who happened to make it into Mecca).

[NativeSon]

Don’t a mess of them get trampled to death at that pilgrimage?

[Maceman]

I lived in Newton for many years. I am appalled.

[Uncle Sam 911]

And the next assignment will be to follow Jesus as he arrives in Jerusalem for his final clash with the Romans, hailed as the Son of God. Right?

[C19fan]

/src on/For European History or English do the students simulate a pilgrimage to Canterbury??? /src off/

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Newton is a very wealthy,very “progressive”,very Jewish suburb of Boston.

And formerly represented by Barney Fag...er...Frank.

So, there you go.

CAIR -The Council on American-Islamic Relations – Massachusetts (CAIR-MA) is a chapter of America’s largest Muslim civil rights organization. CAIR-MA’s mission is to enhance understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims and build coalitions that promote social justice and mutual understanding.

...with Islam there is no debate! Gov. Charlie Baker should take a second look at this invasive religion/government....how many Muslims condemned publicly the Tsarnaev brothers?

File a lawsuit demanding that they stop observing Christmas, Hanuka, AND RAMADAN.

If they don't stop observing Ramadan, I have written a Ramadan carol they can sing:

A Ramadan Carol
(To the tune of “Deck the Halls”)

Fill the floors with lots of victims
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
'Cause we really need to fix 'em
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Don we now our Muslim head gear
(Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Shoot the bloody kafirs dead here
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Kill the queers with guns and roof drops
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Spill their beers and hear those gun pops
(All-ahu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
’Cause Mohammed said to do it
(Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Watch Obama misconstrue it
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Death to all who doubt our prophet
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Take a bomb to work and drop it
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)
Rape and sell off all their women
Alla-hu, Alla-hu, Ah-akbar)
Leave the streets with blood a-brimmin’
(Alla-hu Akbar, akbar, akbar)

Sorry, liberals. There's only 1 interpretation of Islam — Muhammad's

Ditto...Waban...the part of Newton (along with Newton Center and Chestnut Hill) whose residents would most want to take a trip to Mecca.

[beergarden]

He wasn’t the only one who confronted the teacher. A lot of them did as well. He was well-prepared that the idiot was going to retaliate on my nephew but so far, so good...for now.
