Utah homework: make propaganda poster for terror group

Nov 20, 2015 5:58 pm By Robert Spencer

The local Fox affiliate has covered this, but just imagine the national outcry if students at Salem Junior High had been told to make a recruiting poster for…AFDI. Then we would really have had a media uproar on our hands. But when a school has children telling people to join the Islamic State, the mainstream media yawns and only the “right-wing” is concerned.

This is why the Islamic State has the upper hand in the war against the U.S. and the free world. Only one side is fighting. The other side is clueless, compromised, and — look! Kardashians! We’re so busy being multicultural and empathetic toward those who hate us, we have forgotten why we should defend ourselves.

“Utah school apologizes for homework assignment to make propaganda poster for terrorist group,” by Dora Scheidell, Fox13, November 20, 2015 (thanks to all who sent this in):

SALEM, Utah — Students in ninth grade at Salem Junior High School were given a homework assignment where they were told to draw a propaganda poster for a terrorist organization.

After parents complained, the assignment was canceled. However, many students had already completed it, leaving some parents concerned about what they had been exposed to in the process.

Annie Langston couldn’t believe her 14-year-old daughter Mikalia was given the assignment.

“My initial response was, ‘there’s no way you’re going to do this assignment,'” Langston said.

To complete her assignment, 9th grade Mikalia ended up on the Internet, where she typed in, ‘how to recruit for ISIS’ into Google. Her mother thinks it’s an inappropriate topic for her teenager to explore while the world remains on high alert after recent threats from the deadly terrorist organization. She decided to write a letter to the teacher and the principal, asking for an explanation.

Langston said: “In light of what happened in Paris, is that the reason for this assignment? I feel a different assignment or report could’ve been chosen or a discussion in class about the tragic events.”

Langston received a response from the teacher soon after, apologizing for the misunderstanding and informing her the assignment had been canceled. She also received a phone call from the principal.

“They’ve sat down with this particular teacher, and it has been taken care of,” Langston said. “The assignments that have already been turned in, they have been shredded.”

Mikhail never turned in her poster, and she brought it home to show her mother.

“When I found out she kept it, I told her rip it up,” Langston said.

The assignment was given by a first year teacher, but Annie Langston doesn’t want to see anything bad happen to her. She believes it was an honest mistake and in every other respect, this is a good teacher for her daughter….

    There’s a special verse in the Bible (Matthew 18:6) that talks about what’s better for those who lead children into evil.
    No lie, my assignment would have been a poster encouraging you to join the liberal left they’re basically the same thing these days… Milstones…

    Question: Is the *teacher* moslim? If not, then what does this teacher do when not in class with the kids?
    When I, and then my kids, went to school, there was a weekly part devoted to current events.
    This teacher needs to handle that assignment for her own enlightenment.

    APOLOGY??!!! This “particular teacher” and the co-consenters SHOULD BE FIRED IMMEDIATELY!!

    Hey “teacher” did you know THE ISLAMIC STATE OTHERWISE KNOWN AS ISIS HAS BURRIED CHILDEREN ALIVE, SHOT BABIES IN THE FACE TO SEND A “MESSAGE”?

    NO EXCUSE for this absolute outrageous idiocy. **D *FF’n damn these people!.

    Students in ninth grade at Salem Junior High School were given a homework assignment where they were told to draw a propaganda poster for a terrorist organization.
    ……………………………..

    WTF??? This isn’t some clueless “Islam is a religion of peace” thing–bad enough–this is *recruiting for ISIS*, a group known and acknowledged as being for the murder and enslavement of innocent people.

    This teacher wanted to have these kids thinking like Islamic predators who target Muslim kids. I cannot imagine the hell she was thinking.

    More:

    To complete her assignment, 9th grade Mikalia ended up on the Internet, where she typed in, ‘how to recruit for ISIS’ into Google. Her mother thinks it’s an inappropriate topic for her teenager to explore while the world remains on high alert after recent threats from the deadly terrorist organization.
    ……………………………..

    *No shit*. This could actually expose these kids to danger. It could *certainly* expose them to, to put it blandly, “inappropriate content”.

    For instance, I Googled the same thing and found this video, which shows ISIS shooting a man execution-style, and murdering another man by dragging him to death:

    http://www.zerocensorship.com/t/uncensored-isis-execution/180384-new-isis-dragging-execution-graphic-video

    You can also find videos of American and other Western teen Muslims recruiting for the Islamic State.

    A lesser issue, but it could also wind up attracting national security to a false positive, if they suddenly found a flurry of “how to recruit for ISIS” queries from the same small town.

    The assignment was given by a first year teacher, but Annie Langston doesn’t want to see anything bad happen to her. She believes it was an honest mistake and in every other respect, this is a good teacher for her daughter….
    ……………………………..

    Who the hell is this teacher? A Muslim? A hard Leftist? It’s hard to see *any* explanation that could make this assignment innocent.

        Joseph and Swami, I’m actually a very mild mannered person. I won an award for teaching a few years ago and the host singled out my being extremely patient and supportive.

        But I have no patience with outright evil, and little patience with those who expose the innocent to evil.

        Happy Thanksgiving to you both!

      to Gravenimage – You go, girl! I agree; this is beyond moronic; it is creepy as hell, a shocking infiltration of the most egregious kind, and in taxpayer-paid PUBLIC SCHOOL. I, too, wondered whether this teacher is herself a Muslim. The article doesn’t mention her name. To whom but a Muslim or a serious America-hater would such an assignment even occur? Again, very odd to ask 9th graders to “draw pictures” to express in a positive way.ANYTHING about Islam.

      There was another article last week in JW describing a similar assignment in public school I don’t remember what grade for sure, but seems to me it was also 9th grade. The students were asked to draw pictures expressing the beliefs of Islam or something like that. That this daft “drawing pictures” assignment has made headlines here at JW at least twice, and at about the same time, makes me wonder whether such an assignment is suggested or required in some Nationally distributed guidelines for 9th grade teachers by a bullying Federal Dept of Education.

      We are in such deep shit with Infiltration Jihad and politically correct diversity worship, I wouldn’t be surprised if some Muslim in the Dept of Ed has hijacked and contributed to sections of Federally mandated requirements to teach such toxic, suicidal garbage. What do you think? Do you remember that other assignment – I think it was in Texas. A very strange assignment. “drawing pictures” is more like kindergarten than 9th grade, though maybe these students can’t actually WRITE. Essays have gone the way of horse and buggy.

      Cheers!

        to Graven and Quotha
        Agreed this is some creepy stuff

        I finally Googled the photo of Pope Francis kissing the Koran also creepy however, if Pope Francis had pork chops and wine for lunch his spit might have had a malicious intent.

        So Muslims will allow the pope kiss their supposed sacred Koran yet Pakistani Muslims want to murder a Christian for drinking water out of the same cup.
        No good Samaritans in Islam.
        Islam is so evil, duplicitous, and hypocritical.

        Quotha, there’s been a *lot* of suicidal foolishness in the US schools–a steady whitewash of Islam.

        “Texas: State investigation launched after non-Muslim public school students dress in burqas”

        “Tennessee openly promotes Islam: 7th graders made to recite Islamic statement of faith”

        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/09/tennessee-openly-promotes-islam-7th-graders-made-to-recite-islamic-statement-of-faith

        “Islamic indoctrination taking place in Georgia public schools”

        http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/10/islamic-indoctrination-taking-place-in-georgia-public-schools

        There are many more such stories.

        But as appalling–and dangerous–as this is, I can still imagine a teacher, if they are sufficiently ignorant or in deep enough denial, giving such lessons in something resembling good faith. There is no excuse, of course, for this stupidity–but it is not necessarily actively evil.

        But asking your Junior High students to *produce propaganda for ISIS*? Even the most deeply clueless teacher must know that ISIS is regarded as utterly horrifying by anyone who is even marginally decent.

        As for the pictures–even though I am an artist I know these assignments seldom have anything whatsoever to do with art. It is more laziness on the part of the teacher, and is sadly very common these days, all the way up to the high school level.

        Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Quotha.

    Imagine the reaction if the child had drawn “Join Hitler’s Nazi Party!”

    Libtarded cultural Marxists are unacquainted with Islam but present themselves as experts.

    Teachers need to put patriotism back into the curriculum.

    American politicians, intelligence agents, teachers, social workers and police all URGENTLY need to learn the JIHAD DOCTRINE, the TAQIYYA DOCTRINE and APARTHEID DOCTRINE (al Walaa wal Baraa) of canonical Islam.

    Without the BASIC doctrines of POLITICAL Islam, they cannot resist or fight it.

    That first-year agitprop-producing shill of a so-called teacher should be losing her bloody jobs over this.

    But unfortunately the girl’s mother is also a moron.

  8. TheBuffster says

    Nov 21, 2015 at 5:47 am

    The article leaves us in the dark regarding what we really want to know: was this teacher a Muslim, and what was the purpose of having the kids do this assignment? What was the rationale?

  9. TheBuffster says

    Nov 21, 2015 at 5:57 am

    The kind of kid I was, I would have made up a terrorist group, Like “Attack Rabbits of Carterville”. Or I would have done an ISIS poster, but very snarky and satirical. Even if the teacher had told us to be serious, I wouldn’t have been. I couldn’t have been. I would have been too morally repelled and rebellious to the core of my soul.

    I agree with the posters that say the teacher should be fired. Liberals start their anti-american brainwashing of our children at kindergarten. To the so called educators, America is a Christian nation. We allow people of all religions to live and prosper in our country. These young teachers were taught in college to hate America and American values then they pass it along to our children. They should be learning about American excepionalism and how this is the best country on earth, not drawing ISIS recruitment posters. This madness of the liberal agenda has to stop. If you don’t love America you have the freedom to leave. STOP this brainwashing of our children.

    Produce a photoshopped picture of the teacher being burned alive or stoned to death. See how funny they think it is.

  15. Jay Boo says

    Nov 21, 2015 at 11:18 am

    Remember what we learned from listening to BBC children, — ISIS is not Islam.
    The Islamic State must always be proceeded by qualifiers so we have:
    The (So Called) or the (Self-Styled) or the (Self Professed) — Islamic State.

    So in conclusion, ISIS has absolutely nothing to do with Islam dear children just as the (So Called) BBC has absolutely nothing to do with being BRITISH. BBC is merely an extension of the Saudi propaganda network.

  16. Lioness says

    Nov 21, 2015 at 11:34 am

    An “honest mistake” my foot! This teacher knew exactly what it means to promote ISIS. Don’t tell me that an adult person in a teaching position doesn’t understand the meaning of drawing ISIS recruiting posters. Either way she should be fired and investigated by the authorities. Which of course is not going to happen.
