Teachers are claiming that parents who are taking their children out of Religious Education classes because they don’t want them learning about Islam are racist, it’s been reported.
There is a difference between teaching children and indoctrinating them with lies. For the sake of truth and sensitivity, it is best for everyone involved that young children not be taught about Islamic law and tradition in the school system. Some reasons why:
- It sanctions violence against disbelievers, and teaches the supremacy of Islam.
- It refers to Jews as accursed and having earned Allah’s anger, and Christians as having gone astray.
- It teaches the inferiority of women and requires that women be covered lest they be abused (Quran 33:59).
- Beheadings and the murders of gays and apostates are also sanctioned, as well as death for blaspheming Islam.
But it is virtually certain that schoolchildren will be taught none of these things. Instead, they’ll be given a rosy and whitewashed picture. Yet if the schoolchildren ask questions about rampant Christian persecution in Muslim countries, or about the Islamic abuses they see happening globally in the news, or about whether jihad and other atrocities are sanctioned in Islam, how will the teachers answer? If they answer no, they are lying to the children. If they answer yes, they are going to frighten the children and raise other difficult questions.
Parents have every right to pull their children from classrooms where teachers will likely lie to them about Islam, causing them confusion as to why there is a global jihad and resistance to Islamization in the West.
The “ability to explore big questions and critical thinking” is grossly lacking among the teachers, yet they portray themselves as being able to impart such virtues upon the children.
Let’s hope that parents revolt, as citizens’ rights and freedoms continue to be attacked in the UK.
“Teachers blast ‘racist’ parents pulling children from RE classes because they don’t want them to learn about Islam”, by Danya Bazaraa, Mirror, April 12, 2018:
Teachers are claiming that parents who are taking their children out of Religious Education classes because they don’t want them learning about Islam are racist, it’s been reported.
Concerns have been raised about mums and dads reportedly misusing their right to pull their kids out of classes at school, inhibiting their ability to explore big questions and critical thinking.
The Association of Teachers and Lecturers’ annual conference was told this was tampering with schools’ attempts to prepare youngsters for modern society in the UK.
It was told of instances where parents with prejudices including “including Islamophobia and antisemitism” wanted to remove their children from certain lessons or visiting places of worship – as apposed to instances where parents object based on religious beliefs.
