Too often, american children are prohibited from learning the Christian principles America is founded upon. This is thanks to liberal teachers and political correctness. But schools seem to have no problem teaching Islam–and one student’s mother in Bakersfield, California is furious about it! Her son is in the 7th grade, and was given a hand out entitled “Islamic Beliefs and Practices” where students were taught to memorize the 5 Pillars of Islam and view a YouTube video. The mother made it clear that her son will NOT be participating. She first shared details of the assignment on KGET-TV 17 Facebook’s page, but it seems that they haven’t done a story on the controversial lesson:
Tara Cali was incensed by the lesson and made it clear her son would not be completing it.
Underneath a QR code for pupils to scan and hear the call to prayer from the Blue Mosque in the Turkish city of Istanbul, she wrote: “seriously?”“My son will not be a part of this in any sort of way. This is bad teaching material. He will NOT partake. If you have a problem with it, call our lawyer,” Cali wrote. She then listed several Bible verses.
Alongside it she wrote: “This is the seventh graders schoolbook here in Bakersfield for history. This is the assignment that accompanied it.” Her post was shared over 120,000 times, and sparked over 10,000 comments. [11]
Here is the video students were required to watch:
And here is one of the pages from the text book shared by Tara:
This is typical in today’s public schools. The values that have made America great are prohibited from being taught, while a religion that is incompatible with civilized society is required reading. Pathetic! And the lesson certainly did not mention the violence that has been committed around the world in the name of Islam.
