Sharia law is being packaged and marketed to public school children. Parents send their children to school, trusting that they are in good hands. Instead, the children in New Albany-Floyd County schools in Indiana are being indoctrinated to view Islamic jurisprudence as positive — even in its oppression of women.
“Worksheet on ‘Sharia law’ irks school parents”, by Kirsten Clark, Courier-Journal, January 18, 2017:
Parents in Southern Indiana are upset by a middle school worksheet’s portrayal of “Sharia law,” which they say casts the Islamic code in a positive light while ignoring human rights violations and the oppression of women.
“The way that the worksheet is left would be like describing how effective Hitler was at nationalizing Germany and creating patriotism but leaving out that he slaughtered 6 million Jews,” said Dean Hohl, one of several parents who spoke out against the assignment at a recent New Albany-Floyd County school board meeting.
He added: “I’m just not OK with my daughter – or any child that age – leaving class with the understanding that anything about Sharia law is OK.”
The worksheet, assigned to seventh-graders at Highland Hills Middle School, presents a passage written by a fictional 20-year-old Saudi woman named Ahlima, who feels “very fortunate” to live under Sharia law in Saudi Arabia. She writes about how she will soon become a man’s second wife and explains her modest dress: “I understand that some foreigners see our dress as a way of keeping women from being equal, but … I find Western women’s clothing to be horribly immodest.”
“That document by itself, it’s almost propaganda,” said Jon Baker, whose daughter also received the worksheet. “If you read that, you would think everything’s wonderful in that world.”
Bill Briscoe, a spokesman for the district, said the curriculum is being reviewed in light of the complaints, per district policy.
The same worksheet, created by InspirEd Educators Inc., caused a controversy when it was used at a middle school in Smyrna, Ga., in 2011. Sharon Coletti, the creator of the worksheet and president of InspirEd Educators, said she received death threats and was accused of “indoctrinating” children at the time.
Coletti, who is a Christian and longtime educator, said in an interview with the Courier-Journal that she wasn’t trying to indoctrinate anyone. She said she was just trying to create a lesson that was more engaging than dry, expository text pulled from a textbook.
“If I can shape something so that kids have to decide for themselves, once I get them involved in the situation, they never forget it,” she said…..

I agree with you. Once I asked some fellows at work what they thought of Sharia law and they had no idea about it. So I told them if we had Sharia that they would not be able to sit on their front lawn wearing just shorts, drinking a beer, eating a ham sandwich, listening to music with the pet dog at their feet and their wife in a sundress working in the flower garden. All of that would be outlawed.

Indoctrination of kids in fascist ideology. And Christ seems forbidden.

Islamist supremacy is a lot like Soviet style Bolshevism.You have the denial of Christ,rejection of personal freedom,supression of free expression,disdain for democracy and a willingness to use violence to achieve their evil aims.
So it is not surprising that the Left and the Islamic supremacists work together to control and dominate us.
Christ of course is their greatest Enemy.
It may seem that they are winning the battle sometimes but they will most certainly not win the War.
2 Thessalonians 1 v 5-10
“[Jesus Christ at His Coming}..will punish all those who reject God and who do not obey the Good News about our Lord Jesus…”
Christians of all denominations are required to know and understand the prophetic teachings of Christ and His Apostles.It is called the Good News for a reason:it means that Christ can never be defeated..
It is Bad News for all anti-Christ forces:islamists,lefties and I’m afraid the Vatican too is betraying Christ(this was predicted by Catholic prophecy incidentally*…)
It is very important to know these prophetic teachings.If you wish to ignore them… see Matthew chapter 25 for the consequences.At least make sure you read Matthew Chapter 24 in full.Jesus predicted that many would abandon the faith….as you can see is clearly happening…
*If you are a Catholic you should remember that 2017 is the 100th anniversary of Fatima 1917.
That the highest levels of the RCC would be infiltrated right up to the pontiff and that Rome would preach
heretical falsehoods is one of its predictions.We can see the truth of that…..at least for those who have “eyes to see and ears to hear”.
Carolyne says
I’m sure that you believe all that and I am not denigrating you for it. However, it seems that this philosophy would have us do nothing about the invasion of our countries and just wait for Jesus to do it for us. That isn’t working out too well so far.

Indiana?! Are you sure you didn’t mean India?
Unbelievable!

Good to see informed parents speaking out.

““If I can shape something so that kids have to decide for themselves, once I get them involved in the situation, they never forget it,” she said…..”
That’s the essence of the stupidity that has gripped the West since the 60’s. People throughout the ages have understood that it is the job of parents and adults to teach children right and wrong, and mold their characters so that they grow up to be good people. Now we have a culture in which 5 year olds need to be permitted to decide that they want to change their gender and convert to Islam.
Alexius Comnenus says
The new administration will soon obliterate this kind of Islamic indoctrination of our children.
That teacher should go to Saudi to experience first islam and then to come back (if she is still in one piece) to teach about the beauty Sharia.
missinfidel says
My prayer is a return to freedom of speech in schools so that conservative and informed teachers like myself can do what needs to be done. At this point, we are removed from teaching for even posting a cross word about Islam on social media. I am pretty sure I would be burned at the stake for attempting to educate kids on Sharia law. Truth is the new hate speech. We have to turn that around to make progress in schools.

“That document by itself, it’s almost propaganda,” said Jon Baker….
Almost? It is propaganda! And as permanent as skate marks in wet cement.
And will the women marchers on the 21st have any of the hundreds of millions of oppressed Muslim women in mind? No, they will be thinking of one man – truly ironic.
And will Sharon Coletti, the author of this child mind polution, be marching?

ARE THESE PEOPLE INSANE? THE INHERITORS OF CENTURIES OF CIVIL AND HUMAN RIGHTS PROGRESS VIEW IT WITH SUCH DISDAIN , THEY CANT WAIT TO DISPOSE OF IT AND GO BACK TO OPPRESSION.
Carolyne says
Yes. They are insane.

And she’s a christian lady?!? writing this return to slavery???
PRCS says
Dean Hohl says (so typically, unfortunately) that “he doesn’t have a problem with Islam but with extremism, and he wants his daughter to understand the difference between “moderate Muslims” and extremists.”
Well, Dean, here’s what you should tell your daughters:
Every Muslim reads the same “version” of Qur’an, because there’s only one–amputations and all.
The “extremists” to whom you refer are true believers, each trying their very best to comply with Allah’s every word and those considered to be Muhammad’s own: wife beating, beheadings, and all the rest. Think Islamic State, and our Saudi “allies”.
So-called moderate Muslims are not true believers. They are pretenders who cherry pick selected passages from Qur’an and sunn’ah. Think most Indonesians.
Despite what you might have been told, Dean, those “extremists” are not twisting or perverting Islam. They’re doing just what Allah expects every able bodied Muslim to do.
Islam is defined by its texts, Dean, not by the degree to which individual Muslim comply.
So, I hope you’ll eventually understand why you, and your daughters, SHOULD have a problem with Islam.

There is a verse in the Bible, probably most Christians have read it. It says, there would be “Those who exchange the truth of God for the lie.” (Romans 1:25)
A true Christian will not do that, but this woman, who claims to be Christian, has done just that. She is promoting islam the same as any islamo terrorist. (islamo because they call all who tell the truth about them to have a phobia of islam o).
It is telling that she calls her business *inspirED education.* There is that *inspire* magazine that promotes islam and its terror and is run by terrorists. She’s doing what she can to help out with them taking over the world for satan’s beast. She is behaving more like a moslim that she is Christian. And there is a heavy price for liars to pay.
somehistory says
In my opinion, the code of islam which people regularly call *law* is not law at all. It is the most unlawful, lawless, code of tyranny ever invented by satan and carried on by his children who follow his evil example.
There are Divine Laws of the Universe…those Laws that people must obey if they are to live even one day…such as gravity, etc. There are other Divine Laws that our Creator has put in Word form for those who wish to have more than a brief, trouble-filled existence. People have a choice as to whether to obey, but each choice has consequences.
The evil code of islam is outside all of those Laws. It is therefore, completely lawless. It is better described as evil tyranny.

Perhaps we should help her author the next worksheet?
Lesson 2:
The next passage is written by Abdullah, who is Ahlima’s husband in Saudi Arabia.
“I thoroughly enjoy living as a Salafist Muslim in my home country of Saudi Arabia. I have six sons, who will someday grow up to be like me, the best kind of person on Earth. I had a seventh son who detonated a bomb inside an Shiite mosque killing 20 infidel men and some young boys. I am proud of his sacrifice and he was my best son. I work with the Morality Police where we are constantly arresting criminals for doing evil things, like a woman who was out walking without a male guardian, or a woman who attempted to drive a car, or even a woman who did not wear a niqab. Each of these women was taken back to her husband so that he could beat her to help her learn modesty and her place in life. Women are full of evil and the fiery lake is full of them and Jews, who are the worst evil. Yesterday we caught a Muslim man who converted to Christianity and he was executed by beheading today. I really enjoy seeing the blood spurt from the necks of these infidels after they are killed! Sometimes we get to torture them like Mohammed (peace be upon him) did, but often there just isn’t time as executions are up this year. Last month I bought a 9 year old Yazidi girl and I have enjoyed forcing myself upon her at least once a week while praying to Allah. She used to annoy me with all her crying, but she is always silent now. She is much younger than the Indonesian house servant that we keep in the closet. Lately, my income from the Royal funds has been reduced somewhat, so I have had to make sure my lazy worthless wives and daughters do not eat so much. I might have to put a lock on the refrigerator! Someday, I hope to live in America where there is more rain and young blonde girls that I might purchase, but there is still much struggle and Americans have been cruel and evil by not letting us Saudis, who are the best of peoples, live according to our ways when in their country. But soon, Allah willing, we will defeat and humiliate them all.

There is a movie named “The Stoning of Soriah M”. THAT should be shown in every school in our Country.
