LA public school district, superintendent Mohammed Z. Islam, assigns students to debate veracity of Holocaust

May 6, 2014 9:53 am By Robert Spencer

Holocaust Hoax AssignmentThe assignment asked students to write about whether the Holocaust was “merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain.” Has any reporter had the guts to inquire as to whose idea this was? Was Superintendent Islam aware of the assignment before it aroused controversy? And now police are saying that Islam received death threats because of the assignment, even though we’re also told in this article that no parents complained about it. Have police actually seen the threats received? Are they sure that the threats themselves weren’t fabricated to deflect unwelcome attention and claim victim status, as we have seen in so many cases? In any case, they posted guards outside school district headquarters: threats or claimed threats to Muslims always get action, while death threats against counter-jihadists (I just got another yesterday) get scant law enforcement attention. They’re just business as usual.

“School District Officials Reportedly Threatened Over Holocaust Assignment,” CBS Los Angeles, May 5, 2014 (thanks to all who sent this in):

RIALTO (CBSLA.com) — School district officials in Rialto have received death threats in connection to a class assignment instructing students to debate the veracity of the Holocaust, according to reports Monday.

Rialto Unified School District officials first responded last week to reports of the assignment, which asked students to compose a written debate over whether the Holocaust was “merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain.”

The controversial question in the assignment read: “…write an argumentative essay, based upon cited textual evidence, in which you explain whether or not you believe this was an actual event in history or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain wealth…”

The district initially defended the eighth-grade assignment – which was one part of an 18-piece essay – as an exercise to help students “evaluate the quality of evidence made by advocates or opponents of an issue.”

Rialto Police Captain Randy De Anda told KCAL 9′s Tom Wait the school district’s interim superintendent, Mohammed Z. Islam, received death threats in connection with the assignment. A district spokesperson was also threatened, De Anda said.

Officers were seen Monday standing guard outside district headquarters in response to the reported threats.

“We do not know who the suspect is at this time,” De Anda said. “However we do have some leads to follow up on.”

District officials – who say they have not received any complaints from parents about the project – are now revising the assignment, admitting it was a mistake, Wait reported.

“We are striking the sentence that claims, ‘Did the Holocaust occur?’ Absolutely the Holocaust occurred,” Rialto District spokesperson Syeda Jafri. “It was an error and we have to correct it,” Jafri added.

Jafri also said that the Education Services department was behind the assignment, and will be required to undergo sensitivity training….

    Did I read this right, it happened in LA, not in Pakistan?

    What will Islam Mohammed (LOL at the name, is this a joke) assign next? “The truth about 9/11: The CIA or the Mossad? Discuss”.

    I wonder how he feels about Israel.

      Mohammad Z Islam denies knowing anything about the assignment.

      “Interim Rialto Unified Supt. Mohammad Z. Islam was not aware of its topic until school officials received an email about it, Jafri said.

      Islam was “deeply disturbed” by the assignment and acted swiftly, she added.”

      From an LA Times article of May 6:

      http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-teachers-discipline-holocaust-writing-assignment-20140506-story.html

      How in the world does an American school superintendent have the last name “Islam.” And the first name Mohammad. What in the heck is happening?

    I just wanted to say Robert Spencer that you are a true hero of the Western world, even if many of the people you are trying to save refuse to accept the reality of your words.

    It saddens me greatly that you received another death threat, but that just tells me that you are on the right track. You are a brave man for doing what very few others are either capable of or willing to do – that is, exposing the evils of Islam and it’s most fervent adherents world wide.

    I imagine that these threats, as frequent as they may be – must be extremely disconcerting, even now after years of your tireless struggle to rid the world of the greatest evil facing it today. I want you to know that many people, both those who comment and those who read your illuminating site; keep you and your brave struggle in our thoughts. If I was a religious man, you would be at the top of my list of people to pray for.

    You are my hero, and your work has done much to give me hope that the future will not be dictated by Islam and it’s evil message. May God watch over and protect you and your family.

      I would take a different approach. Instead of allowing them to backpedal, claim it was a mistake, and go through the whole sensitivity training nonsense that will allow them to claim good citizenship in the minds of cultural relativists, I say get on with the essay.

      Students need to learn to think critically so they can battle evil ideologies like Islam. Then I would follow this assignment with one that challenges students to read certain passages from the Qur’an and hadiths and asks if there is a connection between those passages and Islam’s nod to lying and violence against non-Muslims. Or I would do a compare and contrast between the message of Muhammad and Jesus.

      This would have to be followed by deep scrutiny of the whole administration of the school system.

        ………………………………

        I agree that students need to be able to learn to think critically, Jorge—but what sort of lesson materials do you think they are being presented with before they write their essays?

        These are *eighth-graders*—typically just twelve or thirteen years old. Consider—many *adults* cannot present a reasoned argument against Jihad and Shari’ah.

        Clearly, the whole purpose of this assignment is anti-Jewish Muslim propaganda.

        And what happens to the few brave and savvy kids who *do* write to affirm the historicity of the Holocaust?

        My guess is that they will in many cases be humiliated by their teachers, and may well receive lower grades.

        How many eighth-grade kids—even really brilliant ones—can out-argue an adult?

        I’m afraid the “lesson” these kids will receive is pretty clear—and it won’t likely be one about how to think critically.

          May 6, 2014 at 5:25 pm

          I agree with both of you, gravenimage and jihsd3tracker. I was not born yesterday. But that is what it takes. It would happen if parents are involved.

          The road is hard and there are no easy alternatives. So we either push back as Robert does, or we will all be swallowed up.

          It was that way with Nazism. It was that way with Communism. It has been that way with Islam for 1400 years now. And it may take many more years before it is totally destroyed. The longer people sleep, the longer it will take. But it will happen, it cannot continue to stand.

          Of course, it’s much harder now than in the past. But the point is, it is up to us to stop the evil. Robert may be called a bigot now. But ten thousand Roberts will be enough to slap even the UK into reality.

          We either do the work by getting involved locally, come what may, beyond simply agreeing with one another on a web site, or we are toast.

          I’m pressing for answers regarding the obvious negligence and appeasement going on at a local university. We must all get involved in various ways.

        • gravenimage says

          May 8, 2014 at 10:08 pm

          Agreed, Jorge—but I believe that *part of pushing back* is having Islamo-forming lessons like this one removed from our young childrens’ curriculum.

          I already fear that more and more children are getting a bowdlerized, whitewashed view of Islam in school—bad enough—I don’t what them given the same sort of lessons they would receive in Tehran or Ramallah.

          It would take a very unusual child to resist this kind of brainwashing.

          It was a sarcastic rhetorical question, because the commenter I was replying to, “jihad3tracker”, a couple of weeks ago posted a comment that parroted the usual Leftist meme that demonized Joe McCarthy and his “McCarthyism”.

          The fact that a person can be evidently zealously anti-Islam, and yet still buy into the myth that McCarthy was not, in fact, a patriot who was warning America about the real dangers of Communism (a myth that has been thoroughly refuted by the great work of M. Stanton Evans and Diana West, among others), just goes to show the various ways in which the PC MC neurosis can be so sociopolitically influential, it can even reach into the hearts and minds of those in the Counter-Jihad.

      Here’s something interesting—Mohammed Z. Islam is just the *interim* superintendent of the Rialto school district, per KTLA:

      http://ktla.com/2014/05/05/rialto-assignment-asking-to-students-to-question-holocaust-to-be-revised/

      That might make him easier to oust. It looks as though most of the publicity for this stunt have been negative—Islam may have overstepped himself.

      As well as KTLA, this story have been covered in the LA Times—it has the critical headline, “Holocaust writing assignment called a ‘bad mark’ for school district”. Laughably, Islam says he was “not aware” of the assignment topic.

      The Blaze has pretty good coverage; but the egregious Huffington Post—predictably—is focusing on the probably bogus “death threats”.

      In your sport, sir, that beard will prove to be a liability.

      The University sees peaceful co-existence among faiths and peoples as necessary to its environs and educational objectives.
      The problem is that a widespread tolerance in the case of Islam will bring about a radical change it what the university teaches and how it teaches it.
      Islam is not just “another of the world’s religion.”
      The Ummah’s vision of itself involves conquest and domination of other traditions and enslavement of the weak.
      This tolerance could be construed easily as weakness to a medieval sensibility.

Ditto that for the plurality of private schools. Given that the left has embraced islam (they have a common enemy, aka, liberty) they have provided their new found “buddy” a stage to promote and dispense hatred aimed at the West, this time with an islamic as opposed to communist flavor.

Instead of turning that region to glass the United States bowed and scraped and the U.S. president described Islam, amid the carnage and destruction of Ground Zero, as a “religion of peace.” How anyone could be so dumb is incomprehensible.

      I had a run in with the thugs who pass for the local police department when I went to one too many council meetings in Rialto to complain about those audio terrorists in their “boomer cars” who have destroyed the quality of life for millions of communities across the country. The Osama bin Ladin of these audio terrorists is Cong. Darrell Issa. Check out a promotional video put out by Pioneer; “Disturb” at NoiseOff.org.

    LA public school district, superintendent Mohammed Z. Islam, assigns students to debate veracity of Holocaust
    …………………………..

    Sometimes I think at this point that I am unshockable when it comes to the stealth Jihad being waged against us, and then I see a story *like this one*—I didn’t realize that we were *this far gone*.

    I had no idea that the superintendent of our *largest public school system* was a Mohammed Z. Islam—and that the Rialto District spokesperson was a Syeda Jafri.

    Mohammedans have made far greater inroads into our school systems than I had realized.

    More:

    “We are striking the sentence that claims, ‘Did the Holocaust occur?’ Absolutely the Holocaust occurred,” Rialto District spokesperson Syeda Jafri. “It was an error and we have to correct it,” Jafri added.
    …………………………..

    “An error”—what bullsh*t. This is standard Mohammedan verbiage. The only reason they backpedalled is because they got caught and realized they had overstepped themselves.

    Doesn’t this sound more like a school assignment *from Tehran* than from Los Angeles? *My God*.

    More:

    The assignment asked students to write about whether the Holocaust was “merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain.”
    …………………………..

    This last, of course, is slam at Israel’s very existence—the bogus claim that the Jews invented the Holocaust in order to ‘gain sympathy’ an found the state of Israel.

    Never mind that the foundations of Israel were laid well before WWII, that Jews have a history in the region dating back *three thousand years*, and that the Holocaust was one of the most heavily chronicled atrocities in history—by survivors, by liberators, and by the Nazis themselves.

    Never mind, also, that while Muslims deny the Holocaust when they believe it to be politically expedient, that they also admire Hitler for his genocide of the Jews, that Mien Kampf is a best-seller in the Muslim world, and that Muslims regularly taunt Jews with chants like “Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas!”, and claims that when it comes to the Holocaust, that Muslims will ‘finish the job’.

    Worst of all, perhaps, is that this news story starts out not with a report of the shocking assignment, but with probably bogus claims that Islam has received death threats.

    That changes the entire focus of the story from Muslims viciously misusing our school system and presenting students with antisemitic propaganda to their supposedly being victims.

    They pull this fake victim narrative all the time—in this assignment, and in their reaction to being found out. And so often, credulous Infidels let them get away with it.

    Notice that they never said they were going to withdraw this assignment—just that they were going to put a fig leaf over their most outrageous claim.

    And where else is this sort of thing going on—both in the US and the rest of the West?

      Thanks for the update, Champ.

      This shows that good Infidels can accomplish a great deal when they pay attention.

      The next step will be to ensure that interim Rialto school superintendent Islam doesn’t become permanent.

        This is the Obamas’ Common Core curriculum. They intend to make Holocaust Denial part of every school system. It is why he got rid of Churchill bust: Obama could not stand the prescient wisdom of Churchill who stated: “Islam in a man is as dangerous as rabies in a dog

      Nope, same article. “Scraps” is editorial wishful thinking. Still rewriting this assignment, not deleting it and bringing in survivors to talk to the kids like real human educators would do.

    So far this has a Mohammed quotient of 50%; not good, guys! Need to work on that.

  22. Think of England says

    May 6, 2014 at 4:46 pm

    But one more comment: Where did the school think the students would get “textual evidence”? Was that evidence part of a study session? Assigned reading? Was there any verbal guidance given?

    • gravenimage says

      May 6, 2014 at 5:35 pm

      Think of England, this was an eighth-grade assignment. I doubt the students were expected to do much independent research—so I shudder to think what materials they were presented with in class.

      Even though this particular repulsive assignment was scrubbed, I think parents of Rialto students need to take a *very* close look at what their kids are being taught.

    • kikorikid says

      May 10, 2014 at 9:27 pm

      I mean, really!
      They’ll get their “textual” evidence out of

    For clarification: Rialto is *not* part of the city of L.A. It is a suburb within the confines of L.A. County, has it’s own school district, city hall, etc.

    L.A. Unified School District is not part of this, although it wondn’t surprise me if something like this would happen there in the future.

    Sometimes Mohammedans push the Islamic agenda a little too fast and have to retreat a bit, as here, but we who know what Islam is really all about know what remains in the heart of the Saracen.

    so lets get this right the superintendent Mohammed Z. Islam, is a Muslim and so is Rialto District spokesperson Syeda Jafri

    what the hell is going in that area that so many Muslims are involved in the management of the education system??

    • Larry A. Singleton says

      May 9, 2014 at 1:46 am

      I doubt if Syeda Jafri has anything to do with this other than being a spokesperson. I’ve met her a couple of times many years ago and she used to have a spot on the local radio where she played easy listening music. When she left and cancelled her program it was like a part of me left with it. I mean this was a truly ass-kicking music station. And if I remember correctly Syeda was pretty hot all by herself. And an all round nice person.

      I wouldn’t jump to conclusions where Syeda is concerned.

    I assume that in USA such officials are elected so many people must have voted for him. Then do Superintendents choose curriculum items by themselves if they choose them at all. Surely this kind of thing is done by a committee not a single official. The whole thing seems very odd.

      ………………………………..

      Not necessarily, bill. The US has a whole patchwork of systems school district by school district—some superintendents are elected, some are appointed by school boards—which, in their turn, may or may not themselves be elected—and some are appointed by city, county, or state officials.

      Given that islam is an *interim* superintendent, this almost certainly means that he *wasn’t* elected.

      And “interim” can mean anything from a “placeholder” who holds the office for just a few weeks or months until a new election or appointment; in other cases inertia can take over and barring complaints an “interim” official might serve for years or even decades.

      The thing to do is to make sure there are *lots* of complaints about the ugly Islam.

      As for assignments, it also varies. some curricula are virtually carved in stone, with exact materials and sequencing of lessons—in other cases individual schools or teachers have a lot of leeway.

      As you might imagine, “current events” is often necessarily quite flexible—for good or ill.

      The official assignment here might have been as vague as having students debate an important topic—with the nature of the topic left open.

    This is what happens when you import Muslims into America and Obama has fast tracked the immigration of Muslims. Our police, our judges and school teachers and superintendents are becoming Muslims. This will bring on another Holocaust.

    Robert,

    Thank you for this story.

    I am a N.Y. boy who wound up in sunny California in ’83 because I couldn’t stand the northeast climate any more.

    I have watched the general climate/culture of California degenerate from Ronald Reagan territory into state government ass kissing of illegal aliens [South Americans, also from, pick your country (state sponsors of islamic terror, etc., AND MUSLIMS!!!!, YOU BETCHA!!!!)] … sure! give them illegals drivers licenses, … WHAT ME WORRY?

    I will try to keep tabs on this story.

    Do the parents of these kids realize the muslim infestation of their school system that is encouraging this horseshit-disguised-as-education to poison their childrens’ minds?

    DO THEY EVEN CARE?

    Stay tuned … there are a lot of brainless liberals out here that really think this asshole is a real American, and not the muslim manchurian candidate he truly is …

      They call the Inland Empire “the armpit of California”. Personally I think it’s another part of the anatomy. I grew up here. If you want a poster child for corruption and “sold out” politicians this is the place, including Riverside.

  34. somehistory says

    Not to worry, the two listed will sneak in other things to promote islam.
    I have seen more than my share of photos of what went on in the concentration/extermination camps, with starvation, gassing, working in freezing cold, etc,; read personal accounts from a few who survived, and historians records. I wouldn’t need anything more than that. But, I met a woman from Germany some years ago who was a guard at one of the infamous camps. She told of her job with pride in her voice, so I have no doubt it all occurred.
    However, not all children (or adults) have a good foundation at home for learning history, and for those children, it’s a battle for them to know the truth against *teachers* who are not being truthful, and yet, have authority to claim they are speaking the truth.

    The re-writing of history, much like in “1984” is happening. And the claims of *death threats* are all too easy to make and might be difficult to prove they didn’t happen. After all, how to prove a negative? Interrogation would be the only way; just talk it out of the ones making the claims. It’s happened before. Perry Mason was fictional, but others have been real people who caused real confessions by asking the right questions.

    Truth is stronger than lies and in the end, good is stronger than evil. Evil and lies make one a slave, but ‘Truth sets one free’.

  35. Joey says

    I don’t understand why lefties are so warm to Islam considering Islamic culture goes against everything lefties claim to believe in. Islam treats women like chattel, and women who have an abortion are routinely killed. Gays and lesbians are murdered, and fathers kill their daughters for simply being with a boy from another clan. Practicing Muslims are intolerant, religious extremists, and lefties typically don’t like that, except when it comes to Islam. Like I said, I don’t get it.

    Poisoning children’s minds with an assignment where students are asked to interpret three sources, one of which describes the Holocaust and “The Diary of Anne Frank” as a hoax
