A Virginia school district is defending a classroom assignment that required students to practice calligraphy by writing the Muslim statement of faith, “There is no god but Allah. Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.”
Female students at Riverheads High School in Staunton, Virginia, were also invited to wear Muslim clothing -- a story first reported by The Schilling Show. The school district convened a meeting on Dec. 11th to discuss the assignment with outraged parents. “Neither these lessons, nor any other lesson in the world geography course, are an attempt at indoctrination to Islam or any other religion, or a request for students to renounce their own faith or profess any belief,” the district said in a statement provided to Fox News. The Muslim-friendly calligraphy assignment took place in a world geography class. The teacher had the kids copy the Muslim statement of faith, also known as the shahada. Parents told The Schilling Show that their children were not given the translation of what they were writing. In other words, there were more than likely a few Christian teenagers in that room who had no idea they were writing, “There is no god but Allah.” But the school district doesn’t seem to think that’s a problem. “The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief,” the district stated. They said it was all about the art — not about the theology. “They were simply asked to attempt to artistically render written Arabic in order to understand its artistic complexity,” they stated. And out of sheer coincidence -- out of all the Arabic words and phrases the teacher could have selected, she picked the Islamic statement of faith? The district said the assignment was consistent with the Virginia Department of Education Standards of Learning and the requirements for content instruction on world monotheistic religions. And what about having the female students dressing up in Islamic garb — is that consistent with the state mandates, too? The district said the students were taught about the “modest dress adopted by many in the Islamic faith and were invited to try on a scarf as a part of an interactive lesson about the Islamic concept of modest dress.” “The scarf used in the activity was not an actual Islamic religious hijab,” the district stated. The district said they also cover other religions -- including Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism and Hinduism. However, one parent told The Schilling Show that while the Koran was presented to students, the Bible was not. The teacher reportedly declined to provide a Bible because all the students have either read or seen a Bible. The district said there’s really not a controversy here. They just wanted students to participate in “hands-on activities intended to give them a better objective understanding of the region and its culture (including its religions and to allow for interactive learning.” Perhaps the next time the kids at Riverheads High School practice their calligraphy skills they can learn a new word — “indoctrination.” http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2015/12/15/students-practice-calligraphy-by-writing-there-is-no-god-but-allah.html?intcmp=hpbt4 If my child were at that school, they would be meeting my attorney really fast and I would have that teachers job. Imagine the outrage if a Muslim student were forced to write phrases from the Bible! |

Where is the source of the story? Is there something to verify this with? "" GREENVILLE, Va. – As a part of a world geography class, Virginia high schoolers practiced writing out the shahada, or Muslim statement of faith–and it was done under the guise of learning the complexity of the script. The Shilling Show reports: Parents of students at Greenville, Virginia’s Riverheads High School were shocked by a recent assignment given in World Geography class. Classroom teacher, Cheri Laporte, asked students to practice “calligraphy” by copying the Muslim statement of faith, also known as the shahada, which translates as: “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” Recitation of the shahada is a fundamental step in conversion to Islam. According to parents, students were not informed of the translation or of the specific meaning of the Arabic text the students were being asked to copy. In addition, parents confirm that female students were invited to don Muslim apparel and subsequently were photographed in costume by the teacher. According to Rob Shilling, an administrator has subsequently deleted the photos. “Neither these lessons, nor any other lesson in the world geography course, are an attempt at indoctrination to Islam or any other religion, or a request for students to renounce their own faith or profess any belief,” the Augusta County Public Schools district said in a statement to Fox News. School administrators defended the assignment, claiming it was more about the writing style , as opposed to what the students were actually writing. “The statement presented as an example of the calligraphy was not translated for students, nor were students asked to translate it, recite it or otherwise adopt or pronounce it as a personal belief,” the district told Fox News. “They were simply asked to attempt to artistically render written Arabic in order to understand its artistic complexity.” But parents weren’t buying the school district’s excuses. A parent tells Rob Shilling students were shown a Koran during the lesson, but not the Bible, because, according to the teacher, “all of the students already have read or seen a Bible.” http://eagnews.org/students-practice-calligraphy-by-writing-there-is-no-god-but-allah/ |

Imagine the outrage if a Muslim student were forced to write phrases from the Bible! Indoctrination of one sort, indoctrination of another sort, what is the big difference? It's amazing that the complaint isn't about the mass indoctrination, just small little tickles in the scheme of things. |

Don't know as if I would go that far but then Bing, Google, Yahoo; all massive invasions of privacy. so is just being on the WWW! lol.. i don't care who tracks me, i'm legal... Are you? There is always something for one looking, but then: What good does it do me, after all, if an ever-watchful authority keeps an eye out to ensure that my pleasures will be tranquil and races ahead of me to ward off all danger, sparing me the need even to think about such things, if that authority, even as it removes the smallest thorns from my path, is also absolute master of my liberty and my life; if it monopolizes vitality and existence to such a degree that when it languishes, everything around it must also languish; when it sleeps, everything must also sleep; and when it dies, everything must also perish?
There are some nations in Europe whose inhabitants think of themselves in a sense as colonists, indifferent to the fate of the place they live in. The greatest changes occur in their country without their cooperation. They are not even aware of precisely what has taken place. They suspect it; they have heard of the event by chance. More than that, they are unconcerned with the fortunes of their village, the safety of their streets, the fate of their church and its vestry. They think that such things have nothing to do with them, that they belong to a powerful stranger called “the government.” They enjoy these goods as tenants, without a sense of ownership, and never give a thought to how they might be improved. They are so divorced from their own interests that even when their own security and that of their children is finally compromised, they do not seek to avert the danger themselves but cross their arms and wait for the nation as a whole to come to their aid. Yet as utterly as they sacrifice their own free will, they are no fonder of obedience than anyone else. They submit, it is true, to the whims of a clerk, but no sooner is force removed than they are glad to defy the law as a defeated enemy. Thus one finds them ever wavering between servitude and license. When a nation has reached this point, it must either change its laws and mores or perish, for the well of public virtue has run dry: in such a place one no longer finds citizens but only subjects. ― Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America |
