One of my readers(Darwin) pointed out another story of Islam being taught in our public schools, under the guise of history.
As much as "criminal invader" is not a race, Islam is not a people. It is a cult or religion or brainwashing tool, but it is not a people. If schools want to teach the history of the people of the Arab world, fine. But is you are NOT going to let kids pray or teach Atheism, Buddhism or any other religion then let's leave the Fatwa's at home.
Students in Sacramento are so lucky they get to read "History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond" book published by Teachers' Curriculum Institute.
"This book does not really go into Christianity or the teachings of Christ, nor does it address religious doctrine elsewhere to the degree it does Islam."
The book's one page referencing Jews "is only to convey that they were tortured by Crusaders to get them to convert to 'Christianity.' (It fails to mention that the biggest persecutors of Jews throughout history and still today are Arab Muslims). It gives four other one-liner references to the Jews being blamed for the plagues and problems in the land."
"....the company's website shows an entire unit called, "The Rise of Islam," including chapters on the Arabian peninsula, "The Prophet Muhammad," "The Teachings of Islam," "Contributions of Muslims to World Civilizations," and "From the Crusades to the Rise of New Muslim Empires."
The recommendations included that "students learn about the beliefs and practices of Islam" and "learn about the life of Muhammad and the rise and expansion of Muslim rule."
Nice.
Please feel free to contact the Sacramento School board and let them know politely what you think:
