Below is an article about what we have going on here in CA.<br /><br />7th Grade Classes in California Teach Islam !!! <br /><br />Thursday, Jan. 10, 2002 <br /><br />California Pupils Indoctrinated in Islam <br /><br />Parents in Byron, Calif., are outraged that government schools are forcing their children to learn the tenets of Islam, adopt a Muslim name, wear a robe and even stage their own jihad ("holy" war). <br /><br />Complaints to their taxpayer-supported principal were brushed off, ASSIST News Service reports. <br /><br /><br />"The public schools in California so stealthily slipped this course into the 7th grade curriculum that even another 7th grade teacher, Elizabeth Christina Lemings, was totally in the dark that this was being taught until her son, Joseph, who is a 7th grader in the same school where she teaches, brought home the handouts," ANS reported. <br /><br />"We could never teach Christianity like this, Lemings told ANS. "We cant even mention the name of Jesus in the public schools, but over there
, she pointed to the building next to hers, "they teach Islam as the true religion, and students are taught about Islam and how to pray to Allah. <br /><br />California's government schools have adopted the textbook used for the Islamic course, "Across The Centuries," published by Houghton-Mifflin (Boston). Islam is shown in a totally positive manner, whereas everything Christian is depicted negatively, says ANS. <br /><br />In contrast, "there is not one negative to be found about Islam in this one-sided account, such as the wars, massacres, cruelties against Christians and other non-Muslims that Islam has consistently perpetrated over the centuries." <br /><br />"Nor is any mention made of the way Muslims treat their own people, cutting off hands, feet and heads for even the slightest violations of the Islamic tenets of faith, or the shocking way they treat their women. <br /><br />"The miraculous events leading up to the Koran, the holy book of Islam, and other revelations are presented as factual. Any reference of the miraculous regarding Christianity is always set next to a disclaimer stating that; 'It was (is) believed by Christians (or an individual such as Martin Luther) that
,'implying an absence of credibility about the stated event," ANS reports. <br /><br />As Lemings put it: "Can you imagine the barrage of lawsuits and problems we would have from the ACLU if Christianity were taught in the public schools, and if we tried to teach about the contributions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the Apostle Paul? But when it comes to furthering the Islamic religion in the public schools, there is not one word from the ACLU, People For The American Way or anybody else. This is hypocrisy! <br /><br />ANS reported, "Even more disturbing; students are to pretend that they are Muslims, wear Muslim clothing to school, stage their own Jihad via a dice game, and pick out a Muslim name (to replace their own) from a list of thirty." <br /><br />Every pupil questioned by ANS thought the brainwashing course "was fun. Some described Islam as "a pretty culture. <br /><br />Lemings told ANS: "This is not just a class of history of examining culture. This course is entirely too specific. It is more about indoctrination. <br /><br />And government educrats keep wondering why more and more parents want school choice. <br /><br />"comming soon to town near you!" sl
