Christmas break came early for the students in the Staunton, Virgina school district when their classes were canceled due to the controversy surrounding the Islamic calligraphy lessons given to the ninth grade World Geography class. As reported by Truth and Action, the “district closed schools the Friday before Christmas holiday as the media covered the complaints regarding the assignment, resulting in an onslaught of phone calls and emails. An increased police presence was felt necessary, as well as the closure, as some of the tweets and emails raised concern.”
More has been uncovered since the original story about the forced writing of the shahada-the Islamic statement of faith took place.
Not only were the students forced to practice Islamic calligraphy, that said, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”, but the Koran was circulated and girls were forced to put on a hijab and photographed for the yearbook, as well. One student in particular refused the headdress but ultimately felt forced to comply.
The teacher, Cheryl LaPorte, and the district seem to have no qualms regarding the one-sided exercise in religion and claim it lines up with state standards.
No where in the lesson were other religions, that are part of the Arab culture, brought in; nor did LaPorte pass around a Bible or Torah as a comparative pieces of literature.
The Virginia Department of Education curriculum framework for the World Geography lessons demonstrate that LaPorte’s Islamic indoctrination is not compliant with state standards.
Read about the standards on page two and evaluate for oneself LaPorte’s subversive intentions.
The parents should protest that islamic studies BS and have that teacher fired. They should also bombard their local representatives with protest letters and phone calls to have all muslim studies banned.
She should be terminated and shipped off to ISIS!!!!!
I agree Carlton. I have seen idiots wearing Islamic symbols around their necks in place of the Cross they normally wear. I said to one ” do you think that will save you when they attack”? I also said that they had better hope that the Militia doesn’t catch them if the SHTF because we will be just as aggressive in finding sympathizers. Now they wear nothing around their neck.
Makes me sick..
Then that fool needs to be fired. Just as one should be for doing the same with a bible,unless it’s a parochial school.
FIRE HER
Inch by inch!
Good for the parents, put a stop to this insanity
She looks like a mental patient! Bug eyed nymph, suffering from nostril-itis. Bloated chipmunk cheeks, triple chin and overbite!
She is not teaching, she is trying to brainwash children. She doesn’t need to be in any classroom.
