It’s as if they’re telling her, “You’re going to get your mind right young lady.”Astonishingly, for asserting her right not to profess the Islamic faith as part of her public school’s curriculum, Wood was also forced to view a series of pro-Islam PowerPoint slides—including one casting aspersions on Christians, which said, “Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian’s.”
You have heard of “picking your battles wisely “It will be interesting to see which way it goes when the Moslem parents object to LGBT-friendly sex Ed and transgender ideology and mixed-sex locker rooms in the public schools.
This is true.“Most Muslims’ faith is stronger than the average Christian’s.”
Apparently in England, Muslim parents continue to object to them despite the attacks and ridicule from the Left while the majority of Christian parents continue to submit to Almighty State.It will be interesting to see which way it goes when the Moslem parents object to LGBT-friendly sex Ed and transgender ideology and mixed-sex locker rooms in the public schools.
This is, however, clearly not true. See here, for example:Wood refused to take part in a school exercise she felt would deny her faith “by making a written profession of the Muslim conversion prayer known as the shahada —‘There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah’.”
The words I have highlighted in bold are the words that had to be filled in on the worksheet (indicated by underlining in the article).Wood also had to complete a worksheet that required students to fill in the blanks. One of the questions was the statement: “There is no god by [sic] Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah.” This statement is known as the shahada.
Quite plainly, she was not asked to make “a written profession of the Muslim conversion prayer”. She was merely asked to demonstrate that she knew the text of the prayer and that she knew what it was called.The panel reasoned that writing two words in a fill-in-blank assignment falls far short of a compelled speech violation.
I filled in the blanks. Did I make a written profession of the Canadian citizenship oath? Have I just become a Canadian citizen?“I swear that I will be faithful and bear true _____ to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors, and that I will faithfully observe the _____ of Canada, and fulfil my duties as a Canadian citizen.” This is called the _____ of Citizenship.

If a student is knocking on the door of Supreme Court Justice…probably not an isolated case.The article present nothing more than anecdotes.
Huh??? There’s no mention of any student in your Lifesite link. Or any Supreme Court case? And this article, too, was an anecdote. It’s about a teacher training program, not a Supreme Court case. Lifesites spin does make my head . . . spin!If a student is knocking on the door of Supreme Court Justice
I’m sorry if Lifesite is hearing this for the first time, but Muslim women wear hijabs. There’s no point in going out of their way to mention that she was wearing one.The hired Muslim consultant was Huda Essa, a resident of the Dearborn area and of Arab descent. She appeared before the Novi teachers in a hijab, the Muslim headscarf,
Whether or not LS questions her expertise, yes, teachers frequently undergo training on how to work with students of other cultures. I’m still saving my outrage.billing herself as an expert in “cultural competency” and “culturally responsive teaching.”
Maybe because LS is making a bigger deal out of this than it was? Maybe because we should trust 400 people over LS and TMLC that it wasn’t really as terrible as it’s being portrayed?Most disappointing was the fact that of the more than 400 teachers attending the workshop, not one teacher challenged Essa’s denigration of Christianity or attacks on America.
It’s true. Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, just as Westboro Baptist Church and abortion clinic bombings have nothing to do with Christianity.All references to terrorism were dismissed as having nothing to do with Islam.
Within the U.S., white men with guns have killed more people than Middle Eastern terrorists.White Christian males, she suggested, are more dangerous than Islamic radicals.
Sure, I disagree. But that’s to be expected. I’m a Catholic Christian. Muslims are going to give the Muslim perspective and teach what they believe at a cultural sensitivity workshop. No shock there.Under the banner of promoting diversity, inclusion and a multicultural approach to education, Essa sets about comparing Islam to Christianity, calling them “mostly similar.” The one big difference, she claims, is that Islam is the world’s “only purely monotheistic religion.”
We all face the horror of abortion.Catholics are facing issues like the slaughter of unborn children, public bigotry when we run for office, and attacks and our freedom of conscience.
