Christmas break came early for the students in the Staunton, Virgina school district when their classes were canceled due to the controversy surrounding the Islamic calligraphy lessons given to the ninth grade World Geography class. As reported by Truth and Action, the “district closed schools the Friday before Christmas holiday as the media covered the complaints regarding the assignment, resulting in an onslaught of phone calls and emails. An increased police presence was felt necessary, as well as the closure, as some of the tweets and emails raised concern.”
More has been uncovered since the original story about the forced writing of the shahada-the Islamic statement of faith took place.
Not only were the students forced to practice Islamic calligraphy, that said, “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah”, but the Koran was circulated and girls were forced to put on a hijab and photographed for the yearbook, as well. One student in particular refused the headdress but ultimately felt forced to comply.
The teacher, Cheryl LaPorte, and the district seem to have no qualms regarding the one-sided exercise in religion and claim it lines up with state standards.
No where in the lesson were other religions, that are part of the Arab culture, brought in; nor did LaPorte pass around a Bible or Torah as a comparative pieces of literature.
The Virginia Department of Education curriculum framework for the World Geography lessons demonstrate that LaPorte’s Islamic indoctrination is not compliant with state standards.
Read about the standards on page two and evaluate for oneself LaPorte’s subversive intentions.
Teachers have a moral duty to teach and should themselves be protesting this requirement. By the time parents find out, it has already been taught.
Kick her$#%&!@*out.
If I was a teacher I would resign if I was being forced to teach this! What has happened to our country!!!
Fat cow
Communist$#%&!@*
Fire her immediately. Muslim is not a race it is a religion and not allowed in public schools
And this is exactly how$#%&!@*indoctrinated his evil plan. He slowly divided the school age children against their parents then taught them his indoctrination. Parents beware. This is the same pattern Obama is following. He is the master divider. Save your children. Pull them out of school and teach them at home even if it means giving up some of your luxuries like the big house multiple cars, etc.
This requires this woman be deported to an Islamic country!!!!maybe there she can reach the Quran
Internet trolling
Fire this incompetent teacher
