Separation of Church and State! Separation of Church and State!
Maryland Textbooks on Islamic Teachings Dumbed Down
A textbook monitoring group said that Maryland middle and high school students will be required to read about Islamic teachings that have been dumbed down and are products of political correctness.
According to the New York Examiner, a new report issued by the American Textbook Council said that administrators who approved books for use in the Montgomery County school district caved into pressure by pro-Islamic groups seeking to present a less violent interpretation of Islam.
Gilbert Sewall, director of the council, stated that, for example, the definition of jihad has gone through “amazing cultural reorchestration” in textbooks, losing any connotation of violence, the Examiner wrote.
Other terms, such as sharia law, have been adjusted or removed from lessons to avoid what he called “inconvenient truths.”
Montgomery County Public Schools defended the decision to use the books, saying in a statement that all texts used by teachers had been properly vetted and were appropriate for classroom uses.
Hello? Anybody on the left wanna complain about this? Didn’t think so. We all know ‘separation of church and state’ is code for ‘remove all Christian elements from school’.
I think if Obama gets into the White House he will push the teaching of Islam! We better stand up for our children and fight or they will be converted into muslims by these far left nuts like Obama! First step, do not vote for Obama!

Yup. Several of his associates are friendly with Farrakhan too. Either the left is extremely blind or they are in cahoots with this plan of his.
I’m not sure how you can see it as delusional while your head is buried in the sand.
You’d have to be blind, ignorant or in cahoots not to see the bias with the ACLU. Any sign of a cross or christianity and the ACLU is there to get rid of it. But Islamic materials are popping up and no sign of the ACLU to stop them? Are you that blind? We’ve stopped calling it ‘Christmas Break’ and ‘Easter Break’ and changed it to ‘Winter Holiday’ or some crap like that. You can’t have them teaching about Christianity, but Islam is ok?
How is this NOT a violation of the Church and State that the left screams about so much?
“Get with the program, daddy-o!”
When you can actually address the issue, then I will.
“How is this NOT a violation of the Church and State that the left screams about so much?”
Well? All you did is have a nice pretty love fest with the keyboard praising the ACLU. But you didn’t address how this religious stuff is being allowed. Teachers can’t even have a Bible on the desk without people having a fit. And you don’t even have to open it or read from it! Just the mere presence is bad. But you can put Islamic stuff in the books to teach. And yet you cannot see the difference? In case you haven’t noticed, I am asking for equal rights between the two. Either both can or both can’t! Not one or the other! It is fair no matter how you slice and dice it.
