Earlier this week, Truth and Action reported that “parents claim that subliminal Islamic messaging, in the form of a geography lesson, took place at Riverheads High School in Augusta County, Virginia this week. The students were given what the district described as an art project, an assignment to write, “There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah” in Arabic calligraphy.
The district saw no issue in the World Geography lesson saying, “There was no (sic) attempt at indoctrination to Islam or any other religion, or a request for students to renounce their own faith or profess any belief.”
However, much has changed in the past few days and the school 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.

Kids DO NOT need c**p like this…how about teaching honesty and ethics! !!!
good
good for parents to get idiot teachers fired
Teacher should be fired
Good. Not that I’m opposed to learning different languages etc but with what’s going on these days I think it’s better to send a message. It could be harmless but it could be something else.
It’s not just a calligraphy lesson! It’s a signed proclamation of conversion to Islam.
Fire the lot!
Some say its ok, some say it’s not.
It’s not ok to be teaching this cause if it was in “Calligraphy Class” then when are the students papers not done in the ink you use in Calligraphy?
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF TURNING YOUR KIDS TO BEING A MUSLIM!
Close them schools no funding to the schools state n government
Get these illegal anti american domestic terrorists out of the US.
