Forced hijabs, the passing around of Korans and the writing of the Islamic statement of faith, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”, in a ninth grade World Geography class, have created quite the December ruckus in Riverheads High School in Augusta County, Virginia. So much so, that Christmas break came a day early for students as the district felt the need to close the school for safety reasons.
Truth and Action reported
After the massive wave of protest through phone calls and email, the school got the message and felt the need to close the schools on Friday.
“Following parental objections to the World Geography curriculum and ensuing related media coverage, the school division began receiving voluminous phone calls and electronic mail locally and from outside the area,” wrote the Augusta County School Board in a statement. “Based on concerns regarding the tone and content of those communications…schools and school offices will be closed on Friday, December 18, 2015.”
Brietbart reports that the framework for World Geography was not followed in this ninth grade lesson. Islam was the exclusive focus and participation forced. Sounds a lot like Islam. Convert or get an F.

It is hard to see how the three Islamic-centric exercises LaPorte assigned her students comply with this standard to show “religion as a unifying force.”
LaPorte was intentional in her lesson planning and not only disregarded the guidelines of the Virginia Department of Education, but also the consciences of her students. She was bent on indoctrination and the exclusion of other religions.
This was apparently the only exercise she used from a “non-standard compliant” World Religions workbook she selected for use on her own. Also, LaPorte apparently did not assign lessons from that workbook that demonstrated how the other four religions specifically identified in the curriculum framework for the standard–Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, or Buddhism–served as a “unifying force.”

The anti Christians are coming out of the closet
This is WRONG with a capital WRONG !!!! Should NEVER be allowed in schools in the United States.
For the past several decades, we’ve heard constant screaming from the left anytime a Bible or prayer is mentioned in schools. Every time, the left will cite the “separation of church and state” as the reason for this. Apparently, their anger over religion in schools only applies to Christianity, as our Most Tolerant Left refuses to say anything at all about Islam being taught in schools. Just another reason to cite Article IV, Section 4, of the Constitution in the way that the left would read it, and declare the Democrat Party unconstitutional and disband the entire party.
Another crazy teacher who is muslim
Obama has alot to do with it. He is bringing these Muslims here. He is forcing this culture down our throats. At the same time he is destroying our culture. Now this c**p being taught in ours schools. Why? So they will be in compliance for Sharia Law?!!! Obama is a closet Muslim and he means to alter America to be sharia compliant. That I will not stand for EVER!! How about you Eric?
