Parents Outraged After Students Are Given Arabic-Themed Assignment. It’s the Translation That Has Them Infuriated. (I AM OUTRAGED AS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN) Be sure to read the last paragraph)
Angry parents claim that students at Riverheads High School in Staunton, Virginia, weren’t given the translation of the calligraphy assignment, which was in Arabic and was handed out during a world geography class.
But district officials have said that there was no attempt to indoctrinate children, as some critics have charged. WHO ARE THEY KIDDING! HAVING CHILDREN WRITING OVER AND OVER AGAIN “THERE IS NO GOD BUT ALLAH” IS BRAIN WASHING AND COMPLETELY AGAINST OUR AMERICAN TEACHINGS… THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND WHO EVER IS TRYING TO CREATE THE NEXT GENERATION OF RADICAL MUSLIMS NEED TO BE FIRED NOW!! Look at the photo below and the wording in the assignment. This is indoctrination and brain washing.
Consider parent Kimberly Herndon, who organized a forum on Monday at Good News Ministries church in Greenville, Virginia, that saw around 100 people show up to discuss the issue. Herndon unleashed a strong rebuke against the school assignment, the News Leader reported.
“That’s why we need to join together. If my truth can not be spoken in schools, I don’t want false doctrine spoken in schools. That’s what keeps it even across the board,” she said, taking specific aim at the teacher. ”She gave up the Lord’s time. She gave it up and gave it to Muhammad.”
Others agreed that similar assignments surrounding the Bible would have not been permitted, and questioned why a Muslim-themed assignment was allowed. The district, though, has attempted to temper these criticisms.
“Neither these lessons, nor any other lesson in the world geography course, are an attempt at indoctrination to Islam or any other religion, or a request for students to renounce their own faith or profess any belief,” the district told conservative commentator Todd Starnes.
Officials continued, “The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief.”
Female students were also invited to try on a headscarf during a discussion about the modest garbs that Muslim women often wear — another point of contention that frustrated parents, according to Starnes.
