Girl Flunked for Failing to Pledge Allegiance to Islam…Parents Sue

IslamTeachingHO

Ever wonder why everyone thinks liberals are nothing more than rolled up balls of horse crap?  If you have, I may just have the answer.  While it has been determined that no child should be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance, a child can be flunked for failing to pledge allegiance to Islam.

John Wood, a former Marine, and his wife Melissa Wood, have filed a lawsuit against La Plata High School in La Plata, Maryland.  The lawsuit claims that students spent two weeks studying Islam and just one day studying Christianity, which promotes Islam over Christianity, which would violate the First Amendment.  It doesn’t stop there.  She was also instructed that she must, as part of her classwork, profess to the Shahada, which says:

”There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”’

The student, known only as CW, refused to commit a sin by reciting the screed, and was subsequently failed.  CW and her parents had reacted sensibly, even asking for another assignment to make up for her refusal to profess to Islam.  You can’t force the Pledge of Allegiance, but you MUST profess loyalty to Islam.  This is an old liberal trick.  They put out garbage like this and eventually it’s spoken about so often it seems almost normal.

From the Daily Mail:

‘Such discriminatory treatment of Christianity is an unconstitutional promotion of one religion over another,’ President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center Richard Thompson said.

Thompson claims that, for non-Muslims, reciting such a statement is the equivalent of converting to Islam.

He also said the school failed to clearly make known to students and their families that a study of Islam was to be part of the world history curriculum.

Students were also required to memorize and recite the Five Pillars of Islam and were subjected to disparaging teachings about Christianity, the Woods claim.

‘The course also taught false statements such as Allah is the same God worshiped by Christians and Islam is a ”’religion of peace”,’ Thompson said in the filings.

‘A school cannot achieve diversity by punishing and alienating students who hold Judeo-Christian beliefs, while bolstering the doctrines and teachings of other religions.

The suit also contends that Mr Wood was banned from school property after criticizing the curriculum.
