PUBLIC SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE NATION MANDATE ISLAMIC INDOCTRINATION

republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

 In April, NewsWithViews.com published a news story about Islamic 

indoctrination in the San Diego, California, schools. Now we have discovered the

 indoctrination is spreading to school districts such as Maryland, Massachusetts 

and New Jersey.

 Parents throughout the U.S. have been objecting to a school program called  

“Access Islam.”
 The federally-funded program is directed at grade-school children is 
also featured on various websites. States such as Maryland and 
Massachusetts are now joined by New Jersey, where Morris County’s 
Chatham Township has jumped into the legal fray.

The Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a non-profit, public interest law
firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, announced that it is representing two
Chatham Township (Morris County), New Jersey mothers who are being
lambasted by members of their own community.

“Their crime: appearing on Fox TV’s Tucker Carlson Show to voice
concerns about the Islamic indoctrination of Chatham Middle School
seventh graders,” according to a TMLC press statement.

While seventh graders in this public school are taught: “May God help
us all find the true faith, Islam,” they are prevented from even
mentioning the name Jesus Christ even during the Christmas season.

Richard Thompson, Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center,
commented: “The promotion of Islam is worse than what the mothers
presented to [when they appeared on Fox News Channel’s] Tucker Carlson
show. After viewing one of the videos which the seventh graders were
directed to watch, I can’t imagine any objective person saying this is
not Islamic indoctrination. Clueless school administrators across our
nation are allowing this type of indoctrination to take place and it’s
up to vigilant parents to stop it. Libby and Nancy should have been
praised, not pilloried.”

Libby Hilsenrath and Nancy Gayer, with sons in different classes in
the seventh grade, detailed their concerns in person to the Chatham
Board of Education at their public meeting. Superintendent Michael
LaSusa indicated that any change to the curriculum
was unlikely, and the next day also refused their request to meet
privately with him to discuss their concerns, according to the Clarion
Project.

According to their attorney Richard Thompson, Libby Hilsenrath and
Nancy Gayer were subjected to personal attacks throughout their campaign
to stop Islamic indoctrination at the Chatham Middle School. They were
defamed as “bigots” and “Islamophobes”, “hateful”, “ignorant”,
“xenophobes”, “intolerant”, “racist”, “closed minded”, “sad and
ignorant” in social media, and the list goes on. The attacks
significantly intensified after their appearance on the Tucker Carlson
Show.

Commenting on the community’s reaction, Nancy Gayer stated: “It’s
just not fair that within this unit of study the Chatham school district
taught one religion to the exclusion of all others, and for the
community to be so unkind and unwelcoming towards us, just for having
raised legitimate questions as concerned parents.”

Libby Hilsenrath added, “One of my fundamental obligations as a
parent is to guide the religious and secular education of my children.
That’s why I will continue the fight against the Islamic indoctrination
now taking place at Chatham, regardless of the personal attacks.”

Nancy Gayer contrasted the World Cultures and Geography lessons on
Islam to her son’s previous experience in fourth grade when he was
precluded from including a short quote from the Bible, “he who lends to
the poor, lends to the Lord.” (Prov 19:17)

The quote was a part of his video presentation related to gathering
warm clothes for underprivileged children. Nancy said that her son’s
teacher informed him that the brief Biblical quote “belongs in Sunday
school, not in the classroom.” Obviously, based upon the World Cultures
and Geography lessons being taught to children within the same school
district, this abridgment of religious speech does not apply to Islam.

Maryland

As part of the school’s “World History” curriculum, high school students in Maryland were taught extensively about Islam — without any context of current events — and required to list the benefits of the religion.

In one homework assignment obtained by a news outlet, the question
was asked: “How did Muslim conquerors treat those they conquered?” The
correct answer was, “With tolerance, kindness and respect.”

One parent, John Kevin Wood, who objected to the mandatory class
said, “I don’t force my religious views on them, so don’t force your
religious views on me.”

His wife, Melissa, noted, “We cannot discuss our Ten Commandments in school but they can discuss Islam’s Five Pillars?”

The couple asked that their daughter be excused from this part of the
curriculum and given an alternative assignment, a request which was
refused. The father was told that the assignment must be done or his
daughter would receive a zero. Students are allowed to opt out of other
modules in the high school, for example, sex education.

Massachusetts

Charges that teaching materials about the Middles East are biased and funded by Saudi, Palestinian, and other Arab states were levied against Newton high schools.

One of the books the schools recommend as reading material included extremist writings by Muslim Brotherhood leaders Sayyid Qutb and Yusuf Qaradawi, who is known for his sermons calling for the murder of Jews and homosexuals.

Newton school officials have continuously refused to make school curricula and teaching materials available to residents.

Public pressure previously forced the high schools to discontinue using the Saudi-funded Arab World Studies Notebook, which makes spurious charges against Israel. The book has been rejected by a number of other school districts as well.

School officials claimed the book helped to develop the students’ “critical thinking skills.”

A number of anti-Semitic incidents were reported in Newton high
schools during use of the book. School officials, in violation of
mandatory reporting procedures, failed to inform parents and police of
the escalating incidents.
