"A teacher at Northeast Middle School in Bristol, Connecticut, invited a Muslim woman to speak this month to her social studies class about Islam, as part of the school's curriculum covering world religions."

She was most likely trying to shove Islam down her students' throats and the parents weren't having it.

Good for them.

What’s happened to free speech is truly tragic but it has to apply equally. If we can’t have ours, you can’t have yours.

Just show the kids video from 9/11.

Explain that it shows the heart and soul of Islam. The real face of Islam.

It would not apply to mudslimes as church and state are one and the same thing. Every other religion, not so much.

Oh liberals are VERY much in favor of separation of church & state. As long as it stops Christian ANYTHING from being taught.

Islam, however, somehow gets an exemption. Tells me that TPTB KNOW islam is not a religion but a war plan.

“What’s happened to free speech is truly tragic but it has to apply equally.”

Chain of command: A school board is legally authorized on behalf of the taxpaying citizens to run the school.

There is no freedom of speech on the taxpayer dime.

Well, it’s about time!!! Two can play this game and it’s way past time that “our side” played by THEIR rules! BRAVO for the parents. Now it needs to catch on nationwide with the “tours” to mosques, school kids dressing in “their” garb etc. Make it end now!

Gatestone Institute has a post about the incredible increase in stabbings in Germany. It’s a “yuge” list, and the German police and authorities are trying to keep it hushed up. Germany is lost, and we are bringing the same danger to our country.

The problem is it's becoming "only theirs" in the schools. Anything having to do with Christianity (Christmas, Easter) is thoroughly and completely banned. Anything having to do with Islam is welcomed, encouraged and praised.

Islam is being taught as a "religion of peace" and that there's nothing to fear when 10,000 backwards Muslim refugees are dumped into your small town.

Object? You are a Bigoted, Racist Nazi who wants to Clone Hitler!

Liberals don’t have to worry about separation of church and state, since Islam does not represent a church. Islam represents a license to rape, torture, burn alive, and behead fellow humans.

This teacher is promoting the rape, torture, burning alive, and beheading of fellow humans.

Which school gave this person a teaching degree?
