Teacher at Primary School Quits After Threats of Beheading

Those of us who are old enough to recall black & white televisions with big knobs on the front, also recall the school as a place of incredible safety. Other than the occasionally bully, or rare fist-fight, school was orderly, peaceful, and never a place where a kid had to worry about his or her safety. Even the walk to and from school through neighborhoods and parks was just no big deal even for grade school kids.

Fade out that world and fade in today’s. It’s too depressing to rehearse the problems that exist at our schools today, especially when examining this story reminding us that the problem exists in places other than America.

Students as young as in Year 5 are making the threats and pressuring peers into reading the Koran at Punchbowl Public School in Sydney’s southwest, the Daily Telegraph has reported.

Documents given to the newspaper reportedly reveal that at least three staff members have taken stress leave, received counselling and been paid compensation after bullying from Islamic students.

One woman reportedly claimed it all got too much for her and she eventually had to quit her job.

She said the final straw was when she received death threats to her family from her year 5 and 6 students, with some saying they would behead her.

Year 5 and 6 students in Australia would be age 10 to 12. Someone is indoctrinating these children at a young age and it’s not only dangerous but a crime, or should be.

The woman also said she was pushed into a corner by several students who then began marching around her chanting the Koran.

Many of the students also reportedly spoke of family members fighting in the war in Syria and pupils would walk out mid-way through a lesson to go and pray.

The woman also reported an instance of bullying during which students would say to that the child being targeted had “betrayed his religion” by “not going to Muslim scripture”. She said in an earlier incident a “group of boys had stood around a girl and called her horrible names like dog”.

Education is not going to happen in such an environment. Teachers will either quit, as this lady did, or play defense and put up with whatever just to keep a job the desperately need. Everyone loses. Especially if the following is true:

News Corp reports that the woman said her complaints to the NSW Department of Education were simply dismissed.

A spokeswoman for the Education Department did not deny that teachers at the school had been given compensation.

However, she said the department was not aware of any religious-related violence at the school.

“Not aware” should probably be replaced by, “not willing to admit.”

What happens when the problem is ignored?

Those students may have since graduated and moved down the road to Punchbowl Boys High.

Clearly these children are learning these violent tactics at home or with their peers at the mosque. This mix of cultures will not work when one group is allowed to behave violently, thereby destroying the education system and the fabric of society.

Those who claim Islam to be a religion of peace have a lot of work to do. Will they do it, or is that a false claim?
