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.
…………………“REQUIRED READING”!!??”…………….
*** Pro Islamic groups seeking to present a “less” violent interpretation of Islam …
*** Text being “adjusted” .. amazing cultural reorchestration… “losing” connotation of violence …
*** Sharia law: “inconvenient Truths” ?? What is an “inconvenient truth”? A LIE?
*** Properly “vetted and deemed appropriate” for classroom use ???
Will there “NOW” be EQUAL TIME for “prayer in the public schools” and Christianity, as well as Islam, taught to “everyone” attending these schools? Why all the disguising and covering up of certain things in this religion? Do they want to deceive our young people into thinking that this is a “good” religion so that they will be enticed to join in? Then, down the line, after it’s too late, will they learn that what was taught to them was not the complete truth, and their little lives will be ruined? Do they believe that they are destined for hell, and because of hated and jealousy, they are trying to take our Christian children to hell along with them? Too bad, so sad… let’s continually cover our young people in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit, our “Helper”, to guard and protect their hearts and their minds in Jesus’ name. Amen. Maggie
