Isn’t this unconstitutional? Wasn’t there a decades-long struggle to get Christianity out of public school classrooms? Now what had been accepted norms for the separation of religion from public school education are out the window. This initiative to introduce Islam into classroom teaching is based on spurious claims that Muslim students are bullied, when actual FBI statistics show that incidents against Jews are far more common.
“Department Of Education Encourages Islam In Classrooms To Stop Muslim Bullying,” by Diane Palmer, Parent Herald, April 27, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
The U.S. Department of Education calls educators to include Islam in the curriculum to address the bullying of Muslim students.
The Department of Education (DOE) in the U.S. encouraged educators to be more responsible in protecting Muslim students from bullying by teaching Islam in class. Many people rejected the demands of the DOE’s instructions by saying that it is inappropriate to bring up religion in class.
The DOE posted instructions on their website urging teachers to include Islam in classroom discussions. Educators are encouraged to incorporate experiences of Muslim people into the curriculum through current events, social studies and children’s literature.
The alleged bullying is said to be largely based on the lack of information about the religion and the tendency to associate Islam with terrorism. Although no firm statistics show how often Muslim students are bullied, activists claim that the numbers became higher after the attacks of 9/11, according to Huffington Post.
A 2010 survey of 57 Muslim teenagers aged 11 to 18 reported being called a name because of their faith. About 80 percent of the respondents also said they have been called a ‘terrorist’.
DOE cites an increase in incidents targeting the Muslim community due to the 10 incidents that happened nationwide, according to WND. Of the 10 events, two resulted in assaults, three reported the vandalism of mosques, five involved alleged threats and intimidation and only one involved a student inside school.
Parents were also called to educate their kids on how to prevent bullying. Parents were told to teach how to appreciate their peers and make friends across different cultures.
However, many groups rejected the claim of DOE by organizing a Change.org petition drive demanding the department to stop efforts to Islamize children in school. Nowhere in the blog does it talk about incorporating Christian or Judaism into classroom discussions despite far more actual violent attacks on Jews and Christians all over the world, according to Martin Mawyer, president and founder of Christian Action Network….

Michael Copeland says
A teacher in London UK whose job it was to teach about the different religions in the world was ambushed by three muslim men and severely attacked with a brick to his head. He has been left badly injured and traumatised. Islam does not accept an infidel expounding Islam.
No doubt the US Education Department is unaware of this.

( US Education Dept encourages Islam in classroom to stop bullying of Muslims)
I knew for years that the US and Western governments are profoundly pro islam and very decidedly Anti-Christian and this is another article that proves my point.

CB is wrong. Cultural Marxists are favoring Muslim immigration in order to destroy Western civilization. They see Muslims as ‘noble savages’ who will do their dirty work of destruction for them, while they sit back smugly and pretend to be blame free.
Get it?

And “cultural marxists” are running the West. Right?
Shane says
Yes, you get it, plus the Democrats view Muslims as another voting block that they can dominate as they dominate Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, and young women. The Dems will go to great lengths to pander to their loyal voting blocks as Bernie and Shillary proved by bowing to the BLM terrorists.
خَليفة says
To CV and Mortimer – I think you are each partly right and partly wrong
1) To be pro-something you have to truly understand it
( most western politicians don’t understand islam )
2) To be anti-something you just have to not like it
3) The third choice is to be FOR-something because it is a contemporary thing to do
I think politicians do a combination of 2 and 3
Back in the 1920s there was an interest in Islam and orientalism. People self identified as Muslim to be different ( not cause the really understood Islam ). I can’t recall the name of the movie, it was from the 1920s, it included a song and dance of the “Hokie Pokie” towards the end of the song you could hear a faint “praise Allah” several times as the people went to center circle and back out.
Carolyne says
Please be so kind as to clarify where one would find your definition of being “Pro-something.” The one you cite does not agree with my definition.
IMO to be “Pro-something” does not require a thorough understanding Taking Islam as an example, Muslims the world over don’t speak Arabic and therefore cannot have a thorough knowledge. . Their understanding is based on what is told them by their parents and at a mosque by an Imam who doesn’t fully understand it.
And while I have read the Koran and the Hadiths, I do not set myself up as an expert on Islam, nor do I have a thorough understanding of it. I know enough, though, to understand its danger to the west, a knowledge most Americans neither have nor believe.
simon says
Because it is easier to control and enslave people with Islam. Mein Kamp has its inspiration from the Koran and the Establishment saw how powerful Hitler became. This in turn has inspired the Establishment to usurp Christianity and replace it with Islam. The rich will always be in control and they will have a slave population. They can also execute anyone who shows any sign of rebellion.
All the Establishment have to do is become nominal muslims and payoff the local imams. This way they can fornicate with children, drink alcohol and just turn up once in a while to Friday prayers – much like the Saudis do now.

This is really worrying, why the people in power do this? Why discourage Christianity and encourage islam, the most evil religion on earth?
In Europe, we tend to automatically blame the EU regulations for this kind of madness but America is free to make its own decisions. I know Muslims love such blunders but I blame the west for the decline of the West.
I wrote this here before: When you see a charging bull causing mayhem you don’t blame the animal but the people who allowed this to happen.
Yes, its the Muslims who cause the damage but the civilised world is to blame for allowing it to happen. The West has the military, financial and intellectual supremacy to defeat and eradicate Islam in no time. Of course, this not going to happen because the West is not willing to score such an easy victory.

Salim, the traitorous US and the Western political/religious establishments have deep hatred for Christianity but profound respect and love for islam.

CB is totally wrong. There is no ‘love for Islam’. There is however hatred for Western civilization. It impedes the Marxist multicultural utopia.
Cultural Marxists think incorrectly that they can mold and absorb Muslims.
Trevor Phillips in UK claimed he believed that 20 years ago, but now confesses HE WAS COMPLETELY WRONG.
Cultural Marxists of today need to read what Trevor Phillips said…HE WAS WRONG.

This the usual explanation but I find it hard to swallow. The gulf states have got nothing at all except oil while America and the West got everything else (and oil as well). Without the Western help the Arabs wouldn’t even know about their oil and wouldn’t be able to dig for it. How come all such marvellous technology is sold cheap while oil, which depends on that technology is expensive?
Besides, do we really need oil? All previous civilisations managed without oil, all great discoveries were made without oil. In the 21 century we have, or should have, the ability to replace this dirty source of energy.
Susan says
As many people believe, the powers that be have acquired any and all real alternatives to using oil. They own and hold from the world so that they can profit from whatever they allow to be released into the marketplace. Example is Nikola Tesla. Look it up.

Fission: The power density is 6 orders of magnitude over combustion. An American’s lifetime of Electricity can be had by fissioning about 3 M&M’s volume of Actanide, like Thorium or Uranium.
That would of course so alter the financial landscape that it has been seen as untenable; The Rockefeller family financed Hermann Muller (experiments on fruit flies) and the BEAR (Biological Effects of Atomic Radiation) committees over a long period of time. The “fix” has been in since even before the Manhattan Project, since the late 30’s.
Sandra Lee Smith says
Yes, we have, and we the people are opposed to all this; but the power over our military has been seized in 2 coups d’etat, in my lifetime, and by deceit, to the point we actually have no control, short of outright revolution, over what they invite and/or do here or abroad. We allowed this back in 1871, and the immediately preceding years when our citizens allowed the government to change our Constitution in ways that took the power of governance out of the hands of the people and made them a private corporation!
Angemon says
Surprisingly, I’m in favour of this proposal. If it were up to me, teachers would have to read a selected list of books including, but not limited to, some of the works by Mr. Spencer and Bat Ye’or before being declared fit to discuss islam in the classroom.
Which it clearly is – pepole seem to have forgotten that the core concept is religion, i.e., it’s not applicable only to Christianity.
You want to talk about religion in classes? Makes sense in, for example, in History class (the arabs, rallied under the banner of islam, conquered a large swath of Christian lands and imposed on its inhabitant sharia law, a set of draconian measure that discriminated non-muslims and ensured muslims got special treatment and benefits at the expenses of non-muslims, who, among other things, were not allowed to practice their religion freely). But other than that? I can imagine P.E. teacher struggling to find a way to shoehorn islam into their syllabus (“Gether up, maggots. I have a very spacial game for you to play today. It’s an islamic game called ‘taḥarrush’. Boys to my right – you’ll be the devout, poius muslim males. Girls to my left – you’re the filthy Western whores. Now get on your underwear, whores – show us some skin”).
Heads should roll for this nonsense…
That tendency being the result of pious, devout muslims, including high-profile muslim clerics, committing and/or justifying terror acts with islamic scripture.
Well, if CAIR and the SPLC, I mean, the Huffington Post says so, it must be true and can be taken at face value, no data or evidence required – just listen and believe…

Hey, Angemon,
Do you actually believe the DOE will do more than whitewash jihad so that it sounds like flower arrangement or taking a first aid course?
They are trying to disguise the genocidal core doctrine of Islam.
jihad3tracker says
Hello Angemon — Thank you for that HUGE response — astonishingly comprehensive.
Mortimer writes relevantly about the “genocidal core doctrine”, so go to that PARENT HERALD hotlink, and watch the posted video’s first minutes by a suspiciously sympathetic “atheist” defending Islam being discussed in the classroom.
NOTICE THAT HE TALKS ABOUT ONLY THE FIVE PILLARS — not any of what the Qur’an actually says regarding non-believers deserving violence or subjugation for their refusal to submit.
Such restriction of dialogue by students and teachers to those calm obligations — omitting Muhammad’s important supremacist revelations — are like limiting a reading of Mein Kampf to petty grievances, before getting to content on the eventual fascism launching World War II.

It’s worth pointing out that the video, dated from 08/11/2014, has exactly zero to do with the Parent Herald’s article. It’s a rebuttal to a specific incident in 2014 and therefore meaningless to the DOE’s call to educators to include islam in their curriculum. It’s not a matter of “students are learning about islam in World History”, it’s a matter of “teachers are being asked to cuddle muslim children by mentioning islam in their classes.
Not only that, he claimed that we can’t understand American policy without understanding Evangelical Christianity. I don’t know in what sort of bizarro world that guy is living in, but I’d like him to explain to me why understanding American Evangelical Christianity explains, for example, the Obama administration push for gay marriage.

“Congress shall make no establishment of religion.”
Does anyone in the Department of Education recognize where that statement is written?
Department of Education elites haven’t read the Sira, hadiths, Koran, canonical commentaries or Islamic history, and yet, preposterously and complacently, they present themselves as authorities on Islam.
How can they be authorities on Islamic behaviors if they have not read the Life of Mohammed or Islamic history?
jihad3tracker says
THIS IS MORE EVIDENCE OF THE HUGE **** STEALTH JIHAD **** EFFORT IN AMERICA.
I have written about that several times before here on Jihad Watch. Who knows how many Muslim supremacists like CAIR are devoting full days — every day of the week — to bombarding school districts with lies ?
I could not find a contact path for the educators involved in this situation — but if you can, please let them know of that tireless effort to get Islam normalized as if it is not a totalitarian ideology.
mortimer says

Alarmed Pig Farmer says

This is different. The Dept of Education isn’t calling on educators to work for the establishment of Islam as a religion, they are calling for understanding of Islam and sympathy for Moslems. Yes, this move is highly unusual and pushes legality to the limit, but let us not forget that there has been a massive wave of hatred of Moslems in this country and the DOE just wants it to stop. Plus, education in this country is so successful at teaching the 3 Rs that they have an hour or two a day they need to fill with something besides academic subjects, and inculcation programs is a good way to do that.
Jerry says
Asking our educators to include islam is like asking the Jews of Israel to be tolerant of Nazism. It might not be so bad if they’d teach the truth about islam, their 14 century tradition of jihad, the misogyny, muhammad’s demonic character, allah’s immoral and ungodly teachings in the koran, the sharia abuses and human rights violations…but ya just know that ain’t going to be the case, it’s a religion of peace remember? We see how Saudi money is corrupting our education. Some curriculums are bending over backward to please islam, no more separation of church and state when it comes to islam. Very dangerous, perverting the minds of our young with their lies and religious propaganda.
And I don’t buy the “bullying” accusation one bit. Everything I’ve seen on the internet and news suggests the opposite, the muslim kids are ruthlessly attacking non-muslims. But you just know every little boo boo some muslim kid gets is going to be twisted into some kind of race hate or bullying. It’s all part of their victimology. CAIR in my home state does the same thing, they take every cloudy day as a sign of persecution. Never mind that there’s virtually no solid evidence for race hate or religious discrimination, some muslim just had a bad day so they’re victims. Then they post videos telling their muslim constituency to “walk in pairs” and to have a “buddy system” if they go in an “unfamiliar zone” to “ensure your safety.” HAHAHAHAHA! They’ve brought so much serious crime to our neighborhood it’s almost epidemic! We need to be walking in pairs! And of course their street crimes are in addition to the jihad threat their religion poses to our culture and nation.
Decent, moral people should have a say on what’s taught in our school’s, and to have the right to reject teachings that threaten our nation’s values, laws, and security. The Jews wouldn’t tolerate Hitler’s race hate in their schools and we should tolerate islam’s religious bigotry and threats of murder. And I think I’m being rather fair minded about this.

This is turning the truth inside out.
Kepha says
I like the idea. As soon as the Muslims have their say, the Christians may legitimately demand equal time. We can demand, for example, that texts point out that Syriac Christians were a major vector in the transmission of Hellenic learning to the Islamic world.
Further, this sort of thing shows the utter moral cowardice of the secular Left. They admit Islam because they know that resisting it could get their throats slit. Yet I don’t really blame the secular Left for its moral cowardice. It has long preached against patriotism, loyalty, and family. It has pretended to uphold “reason”, while demanding that all reasoning be done from its own relativistic axioms. How then, can we expect moral courage from people who deny that a true morality even exists; and disparage courage as something proper only to stupid cannon fodder?
Guys, when Shrillary Shroooooooooo is the POTUS and wants us to go into some country to save one set of Muslims who hate us from another set of Muslims who hate us, or to make somewhere safe for abortion on demand and SSM, I will join the “Hell, no; we won’t go!” movement. I’m for loyalty and courage, but I don’t think the American people should sacrifice theirs for a government headed by a very cynical and corrupt woman who’s proven her incompetence and bad judgment as SecState. Indeed, if we value the West, we really ought to do what we can to make it impossible for Shrill and her cohort to govern.

If…if they told the truth, it would be a good thing and then the kids could know that many of the moslim students were harboring thoughts of terrorism…carrying it out or strongly supporting it.
If they told the truth, the kids could go home and tell their parents the truth and then the parents would know their kids are sitting across from kids who might be harboring thoughts of terrorism and actively planning it…ie: clock boy and his sister. And then the parents could take their kids out and send them to private school or home school them.
If they told the truth. But they have no intention of telling the truth. They want to make the beast out to be a good thing…one that preaches peace and harmony…to build an image of the wild beast that will fool the majority into worshipping at the altar of satan. One way or another.

How many levels of the education administration would such an edict have to go through to be approved for promulgation at school level?
Surely at a low level it should have been killed off?

There is a message here that bullying of Muslims in not OK but bullying of disabled, Asians or Jews is left to take its course.

Don’t forget federal judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange’s reasoning in striking down the Oklahoma law to not apply sharia law. All she needed to do was claim that there was animus toward Muslims and that this, not any law itself, was enough to strike down the legislation. Never mind that this was preposterous on its face, as a legal basis for striking the legislation. Then even a federal appeals court agreed with the outcome. (Awad v. Ziriax et al)
The cry of “bullying” is all that they will need in our current runaway court system.

This is just another reason I’m so glad my daughter is home schooled with a Christian based curriculum. If my kid did attend a public school and this crap was being pushed down her throat, I would obtain mini Christian Bibles from our church to have her hand out and have her cite passages from a Christian Bible in the classes that were promoting Muslim. I would also have cite passages from the Koran that incite and promotes violence and murder against infidels, and what they are allowed to do to infidels wives and children such as rape and molestation as being good and normal to Allah. Posters would be made, copied and distributed around the school showing how Muslim is a religion of violence and hate, and how women are looked as being sub-human, owned and treated like animals. The instant they try pulling the church and state crap, I would say that when they stop teaching Muslim than we will stop teaching Christianity. Amerika needs to grow a set and stand up for itself.

And of course you’d be the one to end up in court on some kind of hate or incitement charge. That’s where we’re at with all this; the good people who stand against islam’s barbarity are ostracized or threaten with legalities while islam just keeps on killing, raping, and torturing. But oh, I forgot, it’s a religion of peace. My bad.

That’s Obama – he has done everything he can for Muslims and Islam – I really don’t think he is passionate about anything else.
As with other socialist types who get elected on promises to help the working class people of that country – the objective soon shifts to helping all those less fortunate around the world – for Obama – besides those coming over the southern US border illegally – it has been Muslims.
::
More Islam taught in the classroom – in order that Muslim kids not be bullied – is one step away from establishing the need to introduce sharia based laws to bring an end to ‘Islamophobia’ [the small print includes – that not wanting Islamic laws can also be described as ‘Islamophobic’]
Obama flies all the way to Saudi Arabia – where there is not a single church. Citizens jailed and then beheaded for leaving Islam. And returns with the conclusion that more of this will help America.
::
The idea that school aged kids can’t be taught the best of western values – of extending basic respect and tolerance towards others – seems to be a suggestion that the Obama led Education Dept believes that Islamic values to be superior to our own.

DOE, like some other parts of the government, needs to be shut down. Catering to Islam is the prelude to the destruction of your culture and your country. Look at Europe today as a result of liberalism and free flow of Islam into their countries. They will be in civil war in a few years.
Don Foss says
YES !!! By all means, teach Islam in our classrooms, including Hijrah and post-Hijrah Islam, Suras 9 and 3 and all the hate, attacks, supremicism, mysogeny, brutal laws, and justified mass murders that come with it. Teach it! Make our next generations learn about Islam from its sources: The Qurán and Hadiths. That will clear up any confusion once and for all.

If I went to a school in Pakistan wearing a Zoot suite, and ate pig’s feet in front of them for lunch, I would probably get killed, and my parents’ hhome would get looted and burned down.
The muslims need to learn about different cultures when they immigrate to non-muslim countries , and leave their dark ages behavior in the muslim country they left.
Religion is not studied in American Public schools. Stop trying to force feed others your supremacist beliefs.
