Trinidad-born Naima Khan-Ghany, along with her signature hijab and glasses, wears a big smile on her face. But her friendly and grandmotherly appearance is deceiving, as she promotes vile antisemitism and the destruction of Israel and is involved with those tied to violence and bigotry, targeting Jews, gays, and others. It is of major concern because she has been appointed and recently reappointed to positions within the Broward County School Board that ironically deal with “diversity” and “human relations.” Will Khan-Ghany’s controversial exploits disallow her from further serving in such positions? Does the School Board embrace her radical activities?

Khan-Ghany is a public school teacher and adviser to local high school and middle school chapters of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), a youth group founded by operatives from the Muslim Brotherhood in 1963. She has sat on the Broward County School Board Diversity Committee, since January 2016. She is also the Chair of the School Board’s Human Relations Committee. She was recently reappointed to both by newly elected School Board member Jeff Holness, who is no stranger to Islamist gatherings. Previously, she was appointed by Holness’ predecessor Rosalind Osgood, who vacated her seat to run for Florida State Senate.

According to the website for Broward County Public Schools (BCPS), “The primary responsibility of the Diversity Committee is to make recommendations to promote diversity through the Superintendent, to the School Board, while maintaining a unitary school system.” And “The Human Relations Committee… makes recommendations to the Superintendent and the School Board on matters that foster mutual respect and understanding among people within BCPS. The committee further supports the work of the District as it pertains to policies related to diversity, educational/vocational equity, nondiscrimination, inclusion, and character education.”

It would seem that the activities Khan-Ghany has been associating herself with fall in direct opposition to the missions of both the Diversity and Human Relations Committees and are huge conflicts of interest.

Khan-Ghany is a former host of Who’s Who in America, a show produced by the Al-Hikmat Islamic Network, the media arm of the Darul Uloom Institute (DUI). DUI has been a haven for high-profile al-Qaeda militants, including “Dirty Bomber” Jose Padilla and al-Qaeda Commander Adnan el-Shukrijumah. At Al-Hikmat, Khan-Ghany organized an event with el-Shukrijumah’s younger brother, Nabil el-Shukri. The leader and founder of DUI/Al-Hikmat is Shafayat Mohamed, an imam who has been thrown off several Broward County community boards for his talks against homosexuals. Mohamed has claimed that natural disasters are caused by gay sex.

In February 2015, Khan-Ghany was a speaker at a banquet for ICNA Relief, the social services division of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a group that has numerous ties to South Asian terror. In February 2019, Khan-Ghany was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Government Affairs Coordinator Syed Ammar Ahmed, who has previously joked about threatening to blow up a school. In February 2020, she was photographed with ICNA Relief USA’s Chief Operating Officer Abdul Rauf Khan, who has used his social media to promote the Muslim Brotherhood and anti-Semitic icon Louis Farrakhan and to target Jews and gays.

In May 2021, Khan-Ghany was a contact for and provided the introduction for an event featuring former South Florida imam Ibrahim Dremali, titled ‘LET’S TALK PALESTINE.’ The speech was co-sponsored by Khan-Ghany’s Broward County MSA Council. Throughout the lecture, Dremali incited against the Jewish community, telling the crowd, “The Jews… want to destroy the Dome of the Rock,” the Muslim shrine. Days prior to the event, Dremali urged others to fund Hamas; implored people to read the anti-Semitic fraud, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion; and said, “If the Arab leaders open the borders for Palestine… the Jews they’ll be inside that ocean.”

Khan-Ghany makes no secret of her own hatred of the Jewish state. In May 2021, she made a series of posts on her social media questioning Israel’s right to exist and right to defend herself and calling for Israel’s outright destruction. She wrote that Israel’s claim of “self-defense” was a “usual excuse.” She posted a call for prayers for the “liberation of Palestine… from the river to the sea.” She posted a video of similar statements from members of the condemned Jewish fringe group Neturei Karta, with one outrageously saying, “At the end of the day, the Palestinian flag will be on all of Palestine, from the river to the sea.”

After Khan-Ghany posted the logos of over 60 popular US companies, writing, “Boycott these products!” she was called out by an ex-colleague. Former Broward School Board Student Representative Beau Simon wrote, “Ms. Khan I have the utmost respect for you and I enjoyed working with you at the School Board but you really should look into other ways to promote peace in the Middle East rather than ‘boycotting’ Israeli products. This post and advertisement solve nothing, if anything it divides us more. I highly suggest you reevaluate some things you may post and ask yourself ‘Is this contributing to the solution or making the problem worse?’”

Khan-Ghany’s posts do not just target Israel with hate; some of them go after Jews themselves. Khan-Ghany has used social media to promote videos of notorious anti-Semite, TruNews host Rick Wiles. In one video, Wiles equates Jews with Communists, Bolsheviks, and Satanists and refers to European (Ashkenazi) Jews as “so-called” Jews. In another, he spews the libel about Jews owning the media, asking, “Who planted into our minds, here in America, that we should hate and kill Muslims?… [A]fter 9/11… we were saturated with media propaganda. Who owns the media in this country?” On top of the video, one reads the message, “Make this go viral.”

With all of Khan-Ghany’s extensively documented involvement with militant Muslim groups that are related to hatred and violence and her personal promotion of bigotry and fanatical animosity towards Jews and Israel, one has to ask how she can remain so long on committees associated with the Broward County School Board. This is especially the case, given that these committees deal with diversity and human relations.

The extremists whom she aids and abets cynically view ‘human relations’ as a vehicle for promoting the advancement of Islamist causes and ‘diversity’ as a means of placing radical coreligionists in positions of power and influence. As Khan-Ghany herself stated, regarding her work in getting recognition of a “Muslim Heritage Month” in Broward County and a day off from school for Muslims placed on the Broward School Board calendar, “I am not in this for the name, fame or glorification; it is for Islam.”

NY School Mandatory Sex Ed for Fifth Graders Features Graphic Depictions of Sex Acts

NY School Mandatory Sex Ed for Fifth Graders Features Graphic Depictions of Sex Acts

BY RICK MORAN

SEE: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/rick-moran/2023/05/17/ny-school-mandatory-sex-ed-for-fifth-graders-features-graphic-depictions-of-sex-acts-n1696067;

How young is too young? A progressive school on Long Island, N.Y., thinks that fifth graders are old enough to be exposed to graphic depictions of vaginal and anal sex as well as masturbation and homosexuality. The Waldorf School of Garden City is using the “Our Whole Lives” sex ed curriculum that uses the book It’s Perfectly Normal as a “supplementary resource,” which is progressive teacher-speak for making controversial books available for inquisitive pre-teens to read.

Can 10 and 11-year-olds grasp all the complexities of sex without being propagandized or corrupted?

“My concern is that when ideas are brought up in class repeatedly… it has a certain significance for the child and it’s now being inserted into the consciousness of the child,” one mother said during the school’s two-hour town hall meeting last month, audio of which was provided to the New York Post.

And the impact on kids? Certainly, they lose some innocence about the world. The better question is, are parents better able to guide a child through this loss of innocence or teachers with an agenda?

“(Her) play has changed, (her) thoughts have changed, it’s changed who (she) was as a person, as a 10-year-old. When our children bring us something, it’s the time to introduce it, but if you’re forcing it… I don’t want my 10-year-old, her play, her thoughts to be different from who she is right now.”

That’s it exactly.

New York Post:

Five parents spoke to The Post about the new sex ed curriculum and asked that they not be identified as they said some parents have been “intimidated” and threatened with being labeled as “against diversity” for speaking up.

One mother got upset when speaking on the phone with The Post, saying she feared retaliation from the school where parents sign contracts every February for their children’s enrollment for the following year.

“This school is the one place where they have always let children be children and they used to try to keep them away from social media and television,” another mother said.

“But now this ideology is becoming the forefront of the school’s focus. I’m all for diversity and inclusion but it takes on a whole new tone when your little kids come home lecturing you about pronouns and asking about oral sex.”

One of the many exercises in the curriculum involves telling kids how wrong they are in thinking certain things are for one gender only. “Teachers distribute ‘Gender Variation Cards’ and kids are encouraged to imagine they woke up one day ‘with a body and gender identity different’ from before.”

“This type of curriculum is intended to divide children from their parents’ values,” Slater told the Post. “It’s about values deconstruction. They’re told at a young age they have a right to sexual pleasure and sexual knowledge and it often turns kids against their parents’ views and values on sex and sexuality. The school administrators don’t worry about backlash because they know they have the backing of the Biden Administration.”

There appears to be a great effort to hide or conceal what’s going on in this particular school from parents. This begs the question, if what they’re teaching is so good for the children, why not be open about it and proud of it?

The school may be proud of what they’re doing but they’re terrified of letting parents know. Somewhere along the way, schools decided their superior education and experience gives them the right to decide how to teach kids subjects for which parents should, at the very least, have major input into developing curriculum.

The Threat Behind Biden’s Latest Lie~Was the speech written by Jesuit Pope Francis?~The Ominous Reason Why Biden Keeps Repeating His False Claim About a White Supremacist Threat

Biden Decries White Supremacy And Hate In Commencement Address To Howard University

BY ROBERT SPENCER

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-threat-behind-bidens-latest-lie/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Old Joe Biden gave the commencement address at Howard University on Saturday, and as he has done so many times during his presidency, he stoked the flames of racial hatred, resentment, division, and mutual suspicion. That’s par for the course for this conscience-free, senescent corruptocrat, but his words at Howard had an ominous edge that all Americans should not fail to discern. Biden wasn’t just lying, as he always does. He was signaling future plans of his regime.

Biden repeated his frequently repeated lie that Donald Trump had called Nazis “fine people,” and also said: “But on the best days, enough of us have the guts and the hearts to st- — to stand up for the best in us. To choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat.  To stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did in my Inaugural Address — to single it out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. And I’m not saying this because I’m at a black HBCU.  I say it wherever I go.”

What’s a “Black HBCU,” Joe? “HBCU” stands for “Historically black colleges and universities,” so our alleged president, who is sharp as a tack and not at all in the throes of advanced dementia, was saying that he was speaking at a “black historically black college and university.” This ridiculous phrase could be the result of Joe’s speechwriter making lazy use of the acronym, but it’s more likely that Biden was going off-script and saying something incoherent. Again.

Old Joe lied yet again when he said that he repeats the lie that white supremacists constitute the nation’s biggest terror threat everywhere he goes, but he has indeed said it before. And not just Biden, but also Gestapo chief Merrick Garland, and the FBI have told us so, and they wouldn’t lie to us, now, would they? In November 2021, FBI and Homeland Security Department officials increased investigations of “domestic extremists,” reiterating the claim that they are today’s foremost terror threat. Yet no matter how often Biden and his henchmen repeat this, actual white supremacist terrorists in any significant numbers have been conspicuously lacking.

Ever so conveniently for Biden, no sooner had he uttered this false claim again at Howard on Saturday than a couple of hundred actual white supremacist terrorists miraculously materialized in Washington. All were young, physically fit men; not a single fat Nazi in the bunch. All wore the same blue shirt and khaki pants uniform, all with their faces covered, and once again, the feds showed no curiosity about who they are and made no attempt to determine where they came from or where they went. This clumsy false-flag operation was widely exposed and ridiculed on Twitter, but conservative writer Chris Brunet pointed out:

“What’s sad about this clip is that everyone here on my side of Twitter instantly knows this is a glowie/fed operation… pure theatre. But it is actually a really effective psyop, they keep doing it, because it works. Ask any normal person on the street, ask your mom, ask your sister, and they will be terrified of this clip and fall for it hook-line-and-sinker.”

The FBI has also been busy fashioning a white supremacist threat in other ways. Whistleblowers have revealed that Old Joe’s pure-as-the-driven-snow FBI has been hard at work pressuring agents to classify cases as “domestic violent extremism” (DVE) when they aren’t, and rewarding them when they do. That’s how you create a white supremacist terror threat.

This revelation came last year in a letter that Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) sent to FBI top dog Christopher Wray. Jordan stated that “from recent protected disclosures, we have learned that FBI officials are pressuring agents to reclassify cases as ‘domestic violent extremism’ even if the cases do not meet the criteria for such a classification.” This was no surprise. This is, after all, the same FBI that investigated angry parents who protested at school board meetings against the imposition of the woke agenda in public schools.

That’s the threat that was contained in Old Joe’s words at Howard. Old Joe said it plainly last September in his ominous red and black speech: “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” The parents at the school board meetings were just the beginning. This regime aims to criminalize political dissent, and that will require demonizing and stigmatizing fully half of the electorate. Before too long it will be clear that when Biden claims that white supremacists are the biggest terror threat the nation faces, he means ordinary Americans who have never broken any law but who oppose his agenda. If everyone who opposes him is a white supremacist terrorist, then the nation has over a hundred million of them. Arrests and prosecutions on false pretenses will follow. That’s the threat that was contained in his words at Howard.

The Ominous Reason Why Biden Keeps Repeating His False Claim About a White Supremacist Threat

As Ben Bartee noted Saturday, Old Joe Biden’s commencement speech at Howard University “included a hearty condemnation of the alleged scourge of White Supremacy™ in America.” In fact, the alleged president called white supremacy “the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland.” Then on Sunday, Homeland Security Secretary and failed Disinformation Governance Board overlord Alejandro Mayorkas agreed with Old Joe, emphasizing that “domestic violent extremism is our greatest threat right now.” Many other Biden regime officials have said the same thing in the nearly two and a half years now that they have been inflicting themselves upon us. The reason why they keep making this false claim is clear and ominous.

At Howard, Biden first repeated his oft-stated lie that Donald Trump had called Nazis “fine people.” Then he said: “But on the best days, enough of us have the guts and the hearts to st — to stand up for the best in us. To choose love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat. To stand up against the poison of white supremacy, as I did in my Inaugural Address — to single it out as the most dangerous terrorist threat to our homeland is white supremacy. And I’m not saying this because I’m at a black HBCU. I say it wherever I go.”

A “black HBCU”? As opposed to all the white historically black colleges and universities, Joe? But anyway, Old Joe’s lie about white supremacists being the nation’s biggest terror threat has also been repeated by Gestapo chief Merrick Garland and the FBI. In November 2021, FBI and Homeland Security Department officials increased investigations of “domestic extremists,” reiterating the claim that they are today’s foremost terror threat.

Yet no matter how often Biden and his henchmen repeat this, actual white supremacist terrorists in any significant numbers have been conspicuously lacking. Yet on MSNBC (of course) Sunday, “journalist” Jonathan Capehart perpetuated the myth, asking Mayorkas: “The president, yesterday at his commencement address for Howard University graduates, called white supremacy the major domestic terrorist threat in this country. Is that correct?”

Mayorkas, of course, answered in the affirmative: “It tragically is. And the terrorism context, domestic violent extremism is our greatest threat right now. Individuals are driven to violence because of ideologies of hate, anti-government sentiment, false narratives, and personal grievances. Regrettably, we have seen a rise in white supremacy. The principle underlying our work is that when one community is targeted, Jonathan, when one community is targeted, we as a country are targeted.”

Note how Mayorkas related “anti-government sentiment” to “white supremacy.” Old Joe revealed the game that is being played here last September when he said in his ominous red and black speech that “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

This regime aims to criminalize political dissent, and that will require demonizing and stigmatizing fully half of the electorate. It is increasingly clear that when Biden claims that white supremacists are the biggest terror threat the nation faces, he means ordinary Americans who have never broken any law but who oppose his agenda. If everyone who opposes him is a white supremacist terrorist, then the nation has over a hundred million of them. Arrests and prosecutions on false pretenses will follow. That’s the threat that was contained in his words at Howard.

And ever so conveniently for Old Joe, no sooner had he uttered this false claim again at Howard on Saturday than a couple of hundred actual white supremacist terrorists miraculously materialized in Washington.

Indeed they will. They still have no idea what game is being played. But as Old Joe’s henchmen continue to move to make it possible for only their point of view to be enunciated in the public square, their objectives will become obvious to everyone.

Biden Calls ‘White Supremacy’ the ‘Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat’ in Speech at Black College

Biden Calls 'White Supremacy' the 'Most Dangerous Terrorist Threat' in Speech at Black College

Joe Biden is a born political panderer. It’s how he won the Democratic Party nomination, and it played a large role in his victory over Donald Trump.

Telling people what they want to hear is a political skill that most politicians possess. But there may never have been a politician as adept and skilled as Joe Biden in pandering to voters based on their race, their gender, their sexual identity, or any other aspect of their personhood that can be sliced, diced, and pureed to create a message tailor-made for a particular Democratic constituency.

Biden gave the commencement address to the historically black college of Howard University on Saturday and turned on the pander up to “10” in his bid to win over his audience.

Biden discussed racism and said that hatred “never goes away” and only “hides under the rocks.”  “A vivid demonstration when it comes to race in America, hope doesn’t travel alone. It’s shadowed by fear, by violence, and by hate,” he said.

Biden referenced the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville in 2017 and likened the scene to “the same ‘antisemitic bile’ that was voiced in the 1930s in Europe during the leadup to the Holocaust along with Nazi banners and members of the Ku Klux Klan,'” according to The Hill.

Biden said white supremacy is the most dangerous terrorist threat to the country. He said the battle against racism is “never really over,” but enough people come together to stand up to choose “love over hate, unity over disunion, progress over retreat” and against the “poison of white supremacy.”

He said the graduates he was speaking to represent the future who are going to be leading the country.

“In our lives and the life of a nation, we know that fear can shadow hope, but it’s also true that hope can defeat fear,” Biden said.

To compare a few hundred neo-Nazis gathering on a college campus to hundreds of thousands of stormtroopers marching through the streets of Berlin in the 1930s was not only idiotic, but it was also nothing more than an effort to pander to the lowest instincts of his audience. Instilling fear in black voters is a national obsession with Democrats. And that includes trying to identify “white supremacy” as the greatest terror threat.

“And I’m not just saying this because I’m at a Black HBCU. I say this wherever I go.” The audience laughed, knowing the only reason Biden made the statement about white supremacy was that he was addressing a black audience.

Twitter wasn’t convinced either.

“White supremacy” is as much a threat as black nationalists, Muslim fanatics, and radical left revolutionaries. But it wouldn’t be a Biden speech unless he pandered to one of the Democrats’ primary special interest groups.

Biden will protect black people from “white supremacy,” but will he address the fact that more than 70% of black babies are born to single mothers? That’s just one of a half dozen “threats” more dangerous to black people than white supremacy. But pandering does not allow for bringing up uncomfortable truths. So white supremacy it is.

Texas A&M received almost $500,000,000 in grants from jihad terror-linked Qatar regime

It isn’t just Texas A&M. Georgetown and Harvard, among many others, are bought and paid for as well. This is why our nation’s universities never speak the truth about jihad, Sharia, Islam’s origins, or other key issues, and instead pay lavish attention to the spurious phenomenon of “Islamophobia.”

“Documents Show Texas A&M Appeared to Receive Almost $500 Million in Grants from Qatar Regime,” Judicial Watch, May 3, 2023:

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced today that it received records from Texas A&M indicating that it received $485,811,921.33 in grants and contracts from the Qatar Foundation.

There appear to be discrepancies between what is listed in the gift reporting received from Texas A&M and what was reported by the school to the federal foreign gift reporting system. For instance, Texas A&M’s gift record for January 1, 2013 – May 22, 2018, only lists a total of $69,844.41 from the Qatar Foundation, whereas the Department of Education’s database shows a total of over $47 million for the same period.

The new information was released in a court victory last month in litigation on behalf of Judicial Watch client Zachor Legal Institute under the Texas Public Information Act.

[Read ‘Leftist Indoctrination: The New Curriculum in Our Public Schools’: CLICK HERE.]

In a pamphlet released this month by the David Horowitz Freedom Center, author Sara Dogan exposes the avalanche of leftist propaganda that threatens to eclipse public education in America and points the way toward a resolution.

Titled “Leftist Indoctrination: The New Curriculum in our K-12 Public Schools,” the pamphlet exposes the blatant indoctrination and partisan abuse of schoolchildren in America and proposes a simple yet effective solution: a Code of Ethics that when passed by state legislatures would forbid teachers from taking partisan political positions in the classroom, endorsing candidates or pending legislation, or promoting Critical Race Theory and radical gender theory to their students.

This updated and expanded version of the pamphlet, which was first published in 2018, documents the pervasive leftist propaganda which has inundated American public school classrooms and gives parents and concerned citizens the tools to start fighting back.

“The subversion of our K-12 public schools is already well advanced,” writes Dogan. “It is imperative that parent groups and concerned organizations initiate a counter-offensive to turn back this determined effort to make our schools into academies for leftist ideologies and anti-Americanism.”

Georgetown, the Oldest Catholic University in the U.S., Opens a Big Mosque on Campus

Georgetown, the Oldest Catholic University in the U.S., Opens a Big Mosque on Campus

Georgetown University, which was founded as Georgetown College in 1789 and is the oldest Catholic university in the United States, has earned yet another distinction: it is now the oldest Catholic university in the U.S. that has a large new mosque on campus. This is great news, right? This is just the sort of openness and good-heartedness that will erase misunderstandings, melt hostility and mutual suspicion, and usher in a new era of peace. Won’t it? Meanwhile, we eagerly await the announcement of which Islamic university anywhere in the world is planning to open a Christian chapel on campus.

The College Fix reported Friday that Georgetown “recently completed a major construction project erecting a large mosque on campus.” The university happily proclaimed that the Yarrow Mamout Masjid, which was named after a famous Muslim freed slave and entrepreneur who lived in the Georgetown area in the early nineteenth century, is “the first mosque with ablution stations, a spirituality and formation hall and a halal kitchen on a U.S. college campus.” How exciting! And really, what could possibly go wrong?

The Georgetown mosque has been happily welcomed at the highest levels. The College Fix stated that it has actually been operating since 2019 while construction continued, but finally the building “was completed earlier this year to much fanfare, with a dedication ceremony March 18 drawing Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, who issued a proclamation recognizing the mosque.”

Yet even with a proclamation from the mayor and proud Catholic university administrators boasting about ablution stations and a halal kitchen, the university didn’t seem eager to talk about its grand new structure. The Fix noted that “Georgetown University’s media relations, as well as representatives of its Catholic Faith Communities, Catholic Ministry and alumni center, all ignored requests over the last week from The College Fix seeking comment on the mosque.” Now, that’s downright strange. Are they proud of their new mosque or not?

They should be if they have any interest in being consistent. The College Fix also points out that “the Catholic Georgetown is not shy about embracing Islam. Its news release touted the fact that Georgetown was also the first U.S. university to hire a full-time Muslim imam 24 years ago.” And “in 2016, students at Georgetown University elected a Muslim student to serve as their student association president, a first for the school.” Fr. Mark Bosco, the vice president for Georgetown’s Mission and Ministry division, explained the underlying rationale for all this when he said: “We need to embrace interreligious dialogue.”

Fr. Bosco has several million reasons to say this. The Daily Caller reported back in June 2019 that Georgetown was among the American universities that have “taken hundreds of millions of dollars from the government of Qatar, a middle eastern nation with suspected links to international terrorism.” Long before that, the Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal gave Georgetown $20 million for the Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, which pumps out “Islamophobia” propaganda by the bucketload, gives Sharia supremacist and pro-slavery and rape apologist Jonathan A. C. Brown and other disingenuous Islamic apologists an aura of respectability, and sponsors the Bridge Initiative, which endeavors to hoodwink Catholic institutions into thinking there is no jihad threat and that “Islamophobia” is the real problem (as if they needed much convincing).

The links to Saudi Arabia and Qatar make it clear: Georgetown is bought and paid for, like so many other American universities today. The new mosque is more about that than about a genuine attempt to foster interfaith understanding and dialogue. And regarding that dialogue, a parting question for Fr. Mark Bosco: where is the Islamic university that is opening a Catholic chapel, or any kind of Christian chapel? Why does the “interreligious dialogue” to which you are so indefatigably committed, despite the fact that it has not saved a single Christian from persecution or prevented one church in a Muslim country from being destroyed, always and in every case go only one way?

The renowned twentieth-century Muslim Brotherhood theorist and Islamic scholar Sayyid Qutb put it plainly: “The chasm between Islam and Jahiliyyah [the society of unbelievers] is great, and a bridge is not to be built across it so that the people on the two sides may mix with each other, but only so that the people of Jahiliyyah may come over to Islam.” Georgetown, still supposedly a Catholic university, has become one of those bridges.

Sharia State University: San Francisco State University persecutes a professor for displaying an image of Muhammad.

Last month, swimmer Riley Gaines came to San Francisco State University to discuss the fairness of men competing against women. A man wearing a dress assaulted Gaines and a crazed trans mob forced the NCAA champion to take refuge in a barricaded room.

SFSU president Lynn Mahoney (pictured above right) said Gaines’ message was “deeply traumatic for many in our trans and LGBTQ+ communities,” and proclaimed, “To our trans community, please know how welcome you are. We will turn this moment into an opportunity to listen and learn about how we can better support you.” That’s a tough act to follow, but SFSU is up to the task.

“San Francisco State is trying to railroad a professor who showed a portrait of the prophet Muhammad in his history class,” reports Evan Gahr of the California Globe. “The school is investigating the professor for supposed harassment.”

Last fall, SFSU associate professor of history Maziar Behrooz was teaching his class on the history of the Islamic world between 500 and 1700. Professor Behrooz showed a drawing of the Prophet Muhammad, as he has done for many years, without any objection from the class. This time a single student claimed that all images of Muhammad were forbidden and complained to the department chair.

Behrooz countered that the student’s view is not shared by all Muslims, that the same portrait of Muhammad is sold at marketplaces in Tehran, and that many Shiite Muslims have drawings of Muhammad in their homes. The student then took his complaint to the next level.

In March, the university’s Office of Equity Programs and Compliance told Behrooz it was launching an investigation.  According to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) and the Middle East Studies Association of North America, the image of Muhammad was “pedagogically relevant to the course at issue.”  Both groups asked SFSU to discontinue the investigation, on First Amendment and academic freedom grounds.

A mouthpiece for president Mahoney said SFSU had a “duty” to respond to all reports of discrimination, and harassment.  Once an investigation is started, SFSU “has a limited ability to discuss it.” The complaining student, unnamed, isn’t talking to reporters.

Professor Behrooz would not tell the California Globe what happened in his April “interview” but did indicate that the issue is “pending.” That portends the possibility of discipline or worse.

In Minnesota, Hamline University recently fired adjunct professor Erica Lopez Prater for showing students images of the prophet Muhammad, including a 14th-century painting. The images prompted a complaint from at least one student.

Professor Prater’s purpose was to show that there is “no one monothetic Islamic culture.” FIRE and PEN America advanced the First Amendment and academic freedom arguments, and Professor Prater apologized. It was all to no avail.

Hamline bosses deemed the showing of the images “disrespectful and Islamophobic” and dismissed Lopez Prater. The proceedings against the professors raise disturbing issues.

At private and state institutions, Islamic law and custom are taking precedence over American law and academic liberties. When Professor Behrooz accepted the SFSU job, he did not cede his First Amendment rights. Freedom of choice also comes into play.

The complaining student was perfectly free to unroll at universities in Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, or Qatar. That student chose a public American institution under American law. San Francisco State University has allowed the complaint of a single student, disputed on its own terms, to upend longstanding rights and practices. This development does not exhaust the concerns of Professor Behrooz.

Islam teaches that men are men and women are women, and also that Allah has made men superior to women. If men fear disobedience from a wife, they may beat her. Members of other religions are to be shunned, jihad waged against the unbelievers. And safe to say, there is no such thing as gay rights or trans rights under Islam.

Last year, Islamic scholar Sheikh Yousef Abu Islam criticized Gay Pride Month and said that Allah has commanded that homosexuals should be thrown head first off the highest rooftops and then stoned. This was the Islamic State’s favored method of executing homosexuals.

So far, the LBGTQ+ community has not mounted a “peaceful” protest against Professor Behrooz or Muslim groups on campus. Were they to do so, it would be interesting to see how SFSU bosses would respond.

San Francisco State’s privileged “trans community” prefers to attack swimmer Riley Gaines, who stands five foot 7. She wants to discuss the fairness of competing against the likes of Lia Thomas, a 6–foot-one male, rudder intact, who thinks he’s a woman. A crazed mob menaces Gaines and SFSU basically sides with the attackers.

No word of any investigations of the sort Professor Behrooz must endure for exercising his academic freedom and displaying pedagogically relevant material.  Everything’s up to date at Sharia State University, but they haven’t gone as far as they can go.

Teachers union boss Randi Weingarten faces grilling from Republicans on Capitol Hill

I’m sure there are many admirable individual teachers among the millions of them spread across the country. But on the whole, many of them are on par with DMV employees in terms of effort and commitment — at least in the diverse areas of metro Atlanta where I attended.Why wouldn’t the teachers’ union be rotten as well and its corrupt leader the most rotten of them all?

In all fairness, it’s not all the teachers’ fault that most of them are checked out. They are small and expendable pawns in deeply impersonal bureaucracies that are primarily concerned with churning as many of their little charges through the system as possible with as few snags in the meat grinder as possible. That is their main incentive.

There are three kinds of teachers in public school, probably divided roughly into thirds: the ones who never really cared but like the benefits the union negotiates for them, the burned-out idealists, and the burned-out idealists in training.

The degeneracy of the public school teachers’ union is perhaps best illustrated by the preposterous and wholly unnecessary school closures enforced by the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) and maintained in many jurisdictions well into 2021 — all while teachers raked in their pay unabated.

The Democrat wing of the uniparty state was also heavily implicated in the COVID-19 hysteria regarding school closures. According to one 2021 survey, a full 56% of Democrats supported vax mandates in all schools, irrespective of the fact that children’s risk from COVID is so low as to be statistically negligible.

The Public Health™ authorities, working hand in glove with the corporate media, were also heavily involved in maintaining the necessary fear to justify continued school closures.

As revealed via questioning in the hearings yesterday, AFT boss Randi Weingarten has CDC Director Rochelle Walensky’s direct phone number, a privilege that even members of Congress outside of the corporate state’s favor don’t enjoy.

All that to say this: there is plenty of blame to go around, and all of these entities worked in close collaboration with one another to keep the terror going and kids cloistered at home, staring into computer screens for years. The AFT was at the very heart of the operation.

The net effect of this was to irrevocably damage children’s intellectual, social, and speech development.

With some of the context established, Weingarten appeared before Congress yesterday to account for her union’s role in the brutal school lockdowns.

It didn’t go very well for her.

Multiple Republican Representatives rhetorically bludgeoned her, but in my estimation, Reps. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) and Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) were most effective in exposing her status as a craven political operative for the biomedical state, bumbling and unable to answer basic, direct questions.

Wisconsin Man Claims to Be A Woman, Showers with Young Girls

Enough Is Enough: Wisconsin High School Allows Man Claiming to Be a Woman to Shower With Girls

BY ROBERT SPENCER

The society-wide acceptance of transgender madness made this inevitable: at Sun Prairie East High School in Sun Prairie, Wis., an 18-year-old dude claiming to be a woman walked into the girls’ locker room, where four freshman girls were showering, and joined them in the shower. If Sun Prairie High School still had any students registered there at all after this incident came to light and school district officials proved reluctant to do anything about it, their continued enrollment is an indication of how much our society has already degenerated and grown accustomed to this level of insanity.

Some people, however, are fighting back. Fox News reported Friday that the Wisconsin Institute of Law and Liberty (WILL), in a letter entitled “Serious Violation of Girls’ Privacy Rights in Sun Prairie East Locker Room,” has accused the Sun Prairie Area School District (SPASD) of not “adequately” addressing this breach of students’ privacy rights. And of course, it must also be noted that there was a possibility of rape or sexual molestation. But all that is being obscured by the young fellow’s canny claim that despite obvious appearances to the contrary, he is, in fact, a woman.

That most trendy of claims has completely befuddled the school district. How can they admit that anything was amiss here, when in the view of the world that Leftists demand we all accept, this was simply an instance of five high school girls showering in the school’s locker room? Trans women are women, after all, as the Big Lie pushers constantly insist, and so there’s no problem here, none at all. Now if a male had walked into the girls’ shower area and started showering with four freshman girls, that would certainly have been something that would have moved the school district to take action. Of course, that is exactly what happened, but if the school district acknowledges that, it will offend the woke. Oh, what to do?

Apparently, district officials have decided to do nothing. According to patriot activist Scarlett Johnson, the school district didn’t even bother to contact the girls’ parents, and it didn’t offer the girls any support. Nor did it “file the required Title IX complaint.” The Wisconsin Institute of Law and Liberty accordingly charged that SPASD’s actions regarding this incident have “been completely inadequate.” It added, “We are calling on you to address this immediately and put policies in place that will protect the safety and privacy of all students (and provide public notice of what those policies are).” This puts the school district in a real dilemma: will it deny the transgender madness and risk the wrath of the Left, or continue putting young girls in danger?

The incident took place on March 3, when the four freshmen girls jumped into the shower after swimming during a physical education class. Fox reports that “they noticed the transgender student, a senior, in the area containing lockers and benches. WILL claim that the transgender student was 18 years old at the time of the incident.” He was not in the swimming class they had just taken; he was just lurking in the locker room.

Fox adds that “the girls were surprised to see the transgender student in the locker room, although it additionally notes that they knew that the student identifies as transgender and had used girls’ bathrooms before.” The enterprising young fellow “entered the girls’ shower area, approached them, and announced ‘I’m trans, by the way.’” Smooth! He then “undressed fully and showered completely naked right next to one of the girls. He was initially turned towards the wall but eventually turned and fully exposed his male genitalia to the four girls.”

WILL contends that “SPASD did not follow its own policy in this instance regarding District Response to Alleged Sexual Harassment.” But how could they have done so, when doing so would have been tantamount to admitting that this young “trans woman” was no woman at all?

The transgender madness is bad enough for encouraging young people to mutilate their bodies and become dependent on pharmaceuticals for life. But this case makes it abundantly clear that the damage is not just limited to those who succumb to the delusion and to the women who find themselves bested by men in women’s sports competitions. The school district is just bowing to the Left’s cultural hegemony by pretending that there is nothing amiss here. But in reality, its acceptance of the transgender fantasy resulted in four young girls being put into a menacing situation that no girl should have to endure.

And now the school district either has to admit that the whole transgender thing is a fraud or signal to the world that it will continue to stand by as girls are endangered. The trans madness is reaching its logical endpoint.

Canada: On Good Friday, Ottawa school board’s gender consultant calls Jesus a drag queen

Canadian School Board Trans and Gender Student Support Coordinator Tweets That Jesus Was drag queen

The obtuseness, offensiveness, and danger of woke doctrine are growing on a daily basis. Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Trans and Gender Diverse Student Support Coordinator tweeted this message about Jesus on Good Friday:

Not very long ago, Sara Savoia would have been ridiculed, but the madness of the over-the-top purveyors of wokeness has become all too familiar.

Robes are worn by Catholic, Orthodox, and Anglican priests, Hindu priests, Buddhist monks, and others. Savoia’s reasoning extends to insinuating that they are all “drag queens.” It is reckless for the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board to pay a wage to Savoia to spread what education advocate Cristina Bairos Fernandes accurately described as “mind-bending” disrespect. She is unfit to be around children.

Would anyone be willing to bet that Savoia would never have tweeted a similar message about Muhammad? Or about a revered figure from any other faith but Christianity? And that the school would have instantly fired her had she done so?

“Ottawa school board’s gender consultant ripped for Good Friday tweet calling Jesus a drag queen: ‘Disrespect,'” by Taylor Penley, Fox News, April 12, 2023:

A since-deleted tweet from an Ontario, Canada school board’s gender consultant garnered criticism on Good Friday when she posted a message stating that Jesus was a drag queen.

“Here’s a reminder that Jesus himself was a radical activist … and a drag queen. And also not white,” Sara Savoia, the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board’s Trans and Gender Diverse Student Support Coordinator, wrote in part, including a painted illustration of Jesus surrounded by several children.

The illustration itself showed Jesus wearing a white robe and contained the text: “Oh look, it’s a man in a dress telling stories to children.”

The tweet ended by wishing a Happy Easter to all who were celebrating.

Savoia, who uses she/they pronouns, according to her Twitter profile, manages the district’s affairs regarding gender identity, sexual orientation and other LGTBQ+ rights.

She deleted the tweet after a firestorm erupted and locked the account shortly after, prompting users to take their criticism elsewhere.

Chanel Pfahl, an Ottawa resident and education advocate, shared a screenshot to her own account where she captioned the image with, “Happy Easter everyone! And a reminder from OCDSB’s gender consultant:”

“You’ve gotta be kidding me,” one user weighed in.

Education advocate Cristina Bairos Fernandes wrote, “The disrespect is mind bending.”

“She’s trolling us right?” a third wrote. Others criticized the comment for insinuating all who wear traditional Middle Eastern attire are “drag queens,” ripping the remark as “out-of-touch.”….

Another Transgender Guy Plots to Shoot Up Schools

Another Would-Be Trans Mass Shooter Arrested

Copycat Transgender School Shooter Stopped - William "Lily" Whitworth manifesto planning mass murder

Here's the latest on 19-year-old's failed plot to shoot up middle schools

William Whitworth, a 19-year-old male who claims to be female and goes by the name “Lilly,” has been arrested in Colorado Springs, Colo., after threatening various local schools. Whitworth has been charged with two counts of criminal attempt to commit murder in the first degree, as well as criminal mischief, menacing, and more. His case, following so soon after Audrey Hale, a woman claiming to be male, murdered six people at a Christian school in Nashville, once again raises the question: wouldn’t we be better off treating this “transgender” business as mental illness rather than coddling and celebrating people who suffer from these delusions?

KRDO in Colorado Springs reported Thursday that Whitworth made “threats involving schools in Colorado Springs Academy District 20.” This was where he himself went to school between 2014 and 2016; KRDO adds that “they attended both in-person and the district’s Homeschool Academy.” Whitworth did not have an accomplice; KRDO is referring to him as “they” because Whitworth himself apparently prefers to be referred to in the plural; after all, the demons said long ago, “My name is Legion, for we are many” (Mark 5:9). Curiously, however, KRDO begins referring to Whitworth as “she” and “her” later on in its report.

It is a peculiar manifestation of the madness of our age that even as a mentally ill individual plots to act upon his mental illness by murdering people, those who report on this fact still treat his mental illness as if it were perfectly normal and even torture the English language in order to accommodate it. Apparently, no one at KRDO had the vision or wisdom or simple guts to say, “Hey, this trans kid was just planning to kill people, maybe we shouldn’t coddle him and pretend that he’s in his right mind by referring to him according to the pronouns of his delusion and fantasy.” No one would have dared.

Nevertheless, all was clearly not sane or well at the Whitworth household. Police were first called out to visit the Whitworths last Friday, when they received reports that the sister of the reporting party had “threatened to shoot up a school,” had “anger issues,” and had spoken the day before about “school shooting.” When deputies arrived at the house, according to their report, “someone at the door” told them that “someone inside” was “very upset and punched holes inside the walls,” but nonetheless initially refused to let them in. Eventually, they were let in, however, and found “two holes that appeared to be punch marks in the wall,” as well as a door off its hinges. In a bedroom, they encountered the reporting party’s “sister.” It was “Lilly,” that is, William Whitworth.

When the deputies asked Whitworth if he was planning to shoot up a school, he nodded. When they asked him why he would do such a thing, Whitworth replied: “Why does anyone do it?” He was then asked if he planned this massacre at Timberview Middle School, which he had attended, and he nodded again. Asked why he picked that school, he mumbled: “No specific reason.” He added that he also planned shootings at local churches.

The deputies eventually found Whitworth’s manifesto, which he himself dismissed as “schizophrenic rants.” Asked if he was schizophrenic, he answered: “I hope not.” Well, it may not be that, Whitworth, but it’s something and all the people who told you that “transgender people” were beautiful and courageous and stunning and brave and not at all mentally ill share responsibility for bringing you to this point.

Authorities also found floor plans of the school and directions for how to build a detonation device. They also found a copy of The Communist Manifesto (well, well, well), a list of weapons and 3D printer instructions, hit lists, and a list of various public figures, including conservative YouTuber Lauren Southern, whom Whitworth described as “Pathetic,” and Donald Trump, whom Whitworth dismissed as a “Con-mam” (sic). “Bad cops,” said Whitworth, were “useless garbage.”

William “Lilly” Whitworth, in sum, is yet another Leftist “trans” would-be mass murderer in a society whose leaders steadfastly ignore the existence of such people and blame their victims. Old Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, and the rest are virtually certain to ignore Whitworth as well since he doesn’t fit their narrative about how “white supremacists” constitute the greatest terror threat the nation faces today. Or if they pay any attention to him at all, it will be to affirm their solidarity with the “transgender community” and scold patriotic Americans once again for daring not to believe that men can become women. William Whitworth isn’t the only mentally ill person in this scenario.

Massachusetts School Official’s Job Offer Rescinded Because He Called Two Women ‘Ladies’

Massachusetts School Official’s Job Offer Rescinded Because He Called Two Women ‘Ladies’

The good little Maoist conformists of the Easthampton Public School District in Western Massachusetts dodged a bullet Thursday: they had very nearly hired a wrong thinker, an unenlightened, non-woke individual who was even a cis white male as their new superintendent. But just in time, the school district was saved: the sinister candidate committed an offense against all that is good and holy, and the job offer that had been extended to him was summarily rescinded. The errant near-superintendent’s crime? He called a couple of women “ladies.”

I apologize for not affixing a trigger warning to the immediate beginning of this article. I realize that you likely read that unguardedly, unaware of the enormity of the offense that had been committed. If you need counseling now, I certainly understand. It isn’t every day that one comes across such a flagrant crime against decency as this one, and the shock is indeed severe. The Daily Hampshire Gazette, a paper that publishes out of Northampton, Mass., reported Saturday that a man named Vito Perrone was a finalist for the job of superintendent and indeed, had actually been offered the job before he committed the unpardonable offense that led to the job offer being withdrawn.

Perrone “said Friday that the School Committee rescinded its offer to hire him in executive session Thursday night, alleging that the reason was a perceived microaggression contained in an email he sent to the committee chairperson.” The process of his hiring was so far along that he had already entered into salary negotiations with the district, “after he was offered the position the morning of March 24.” The Easthampton School Committee “offered Perrone a three-year contract with an annual salary of $151,000 — approximately $14,000 less than what he has made [sic] as an interim superintendent of West Springfield Public Schools.” Yet “despite the lower salary, he said he was keen on accepting the role.” He seemed like a good catch for Easthampton. But then he sent the fateful email.

Perrone recounted: “This job was not about the money for me. I honestly felt like I was coming home to Easthampton. I coached football here. I was the principal here when we built the school. I have such wonderful memories … I was excited to come back.” But as the contract negotiations went on, Perrone sent an email to School Committee Chairperson Cynthia Kwiecinski and the committee’s executive assistant, Suzanne Colby. In it, he addressed Kwiecinski and Colby as “ladies,” and all hell broke loose.

Kwiecinski, according to Perrone, charged that his use of the word “ladies” constituted a “microaggression,” and he should have known better. His clumsy word choice demonstrated his dangerous ignorance: “The fact that he didn’t know that as an educator was a problem.” Understandably, Perrone was dumbfounded at this woke lunacy: “I was shocked. I grew up in a time when ‘ladies’ and ‘gentlemen’ was a sign of respect. I didn’t intend to insult anyone.” But that’s how authoritarian societies work: you never quite know the rules, which are constantly changing anyway. That way the citizen is always living in fear and always on his toes, extra careful not to offend the elites, who could strike against him without warning at any time. A fearful populace is a compliant populace.

Kwiecinski has remained resolutely mum about this entire ridiculous (and ominous) incident, but Perrone thought it was important to clear the air: “I don’t want people to think I was not willing to negotiate in good faith. I have chosen not to just leave it as ‘negotiations stalled.’ I would rather share my truth, my sadness, and disappointment and try to find a way forward positively.”

While his disappointment is understandable, it’s really Perrone, and not the Easthampton Public School District, who has dodged the bullet here. Imagine having to work on a day-to-day basis with these woke harridans. It would be like living Kafka’s The Trial, in which the protagonist is charged with a crime but never told exactly what he is accused of having done. “Honestly,” Perrone reiterated, “I am truly, truly disappointed that I won’t be in Easthampton in that building. I’m just sad.” He should be dancing a jig, were it not for the fact that pretty much anywhere that he does ultimately get a job is likely to present him with the same humorless, censorious, and unforgiving Leftist environment.

UK schools don’t tell parents when kids ‘change gender,’ force classmates to accept gender swaps

BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS

Transgenderism is now deeply entrenched institutionally in Western countries, many times against the rights of children and their parents. The degree of its rapid advance is troubling.

How could such a violation of rights happen so quickly? Where were level-headed teachers in schools, not only in Britain but across the board? Perhaps they were bullied and intimidated into silence. Concerned parents, too, for that matter.

Transgender activism is being endorsed by woke governments all over the West, while defenseless children are left unprotected and vulnerable to abuse. While governments have placed restrictions on children driving, consuming alcohol, and to voting, woke governments are enabling children who say they identify as the opposite gender to be pumped full of hormones, while their bodies are being changed before they could ever understand the magnitude and implications of what is being done to them.

It is past due that Britain’s Department for Education halt this abusive practice. Ditto for other countries.

“English Schools Not Telling Parents If Kids Switch Gender, Require Other Kids to Accept Gender Swaps,” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, March 31, 2023:

Research suggests a majority of English schools are not reliably informing parents when children change gender, and are requiring other pupils to go along with supposedly trans classmates’ gender swaps.

Citing previous research that “found that one in four young people (18-20) identify as LGBT”, a report by Policy Exchange said it was likely that “many school leavers [were] exploring their identity at school” — and raised questions about “the appropriateness of current RSHE” — Religious and Sexual Health Education — “and the impact of this teaching on children’s beliefs about their own sex and gender.”

Using the Freedom of Information Act, the think tank asked a representative sample of 304 schools a range of questions regarding supposedly transgender pupils, including whether they inform parents of the gender their children are adopting at school, how gender transitions are facilitated with respect to, for example, single-sex sports, changing rooms, and toilet facilities, and how gender issues are taught in class.

Ninety-one schools did not respond and three refused to respond, compared to 154 which responded “either fully or in part” — with a further 56 special schools excluded from the data “on the basis that many of the issues raised are not applicable or relevant” to them.

Policy Exchange found that fully 62 per cent of schools were not reliably informing parents if their children were transitioning, with a further 10 per cent providing “insufficient detail” — and an even higher 69 per cent of schools required all pupils to “participate” in the social transition of transgender pupils.

Another 18 per cent provided “insufficient detail” as to whether or not accepting transgenderism was mandatory, with only 13 per cent claiming they did not require pupils to indulge their trans peers…..
