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.

fire her and revoke her teaching creditional
Ridiculously stupid libtard but job
She should be fired!
Who gave her the right to give this assignment in a public school in America??? Who is behind this agenda?
That teacher should be fired !!
teachers and school boards who support this filth need to be terminated,immediately !!!
Maybe she’s looking for a husband who will impose sharia law on her. Stupid, airhead, uninformed nut case!
There should be no mandatory of any type with a class like this. My son took a class on the monotheism religions that dealt with Islam, Christianity, Buddisim, Hinduisim, Judaisim, and Sikhism. I gave my permission for him to take this class and it made a well rounded person out of him. The difference being was the class did not try to convert, cohearce, or indoctrinate any of the students into one particular religion, It presented the factual historical aspects of these religions and the basic dogmas of each. It appears that the class in question here is in violation of the constitution because it infringes on the rights of other students and their religious rights.
Spit in there face!!!
Fire her ! It’s not her agenda , it’s ours !
