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.
She even looks STUPID
It is all illegal.
Where is this taking place?
Parents need to wake up and tell the teachers and schools system No to this kinda indoctrination in the American School System, WRONG
You can tell by looking at her she’s not very smart. If she likes isliam so much send her over there where they live and when she does, don’t let her come back
I agree! If you want to teach that sh@t so bad , go to Syria and learn it first hand.
I would rather be called a racist instead of a terrorist!
Not in a public school. She should be warned if that doesn’t work then fired. Religion should be left up to parents.
It is now govt indoctrination, not education
See how this person looks she feels bad about herself and trying to get Muslims to like her.wow what a flake.
