Texas Principal Defies Order, Forces Kids To Attend CAIR Indoctrination Event
World Net Daily:
A public school principal in Texas who arranged for an Islamic instruction presentation for students by an organization whose leaders have been linked to terror groups apparently arranged for that indoctrination after being told not to by her district’s superintendent, parents have told WND.
The issue developed this week when public school students at Friendswood Junior High in the Houston area were herded into an assembly scheduled by Principal Robin Lowe that suddenly replaced a scheduled physical education class, according to reports.
There, two women from the Houston division of the Council on American-Islamic Relations instructed students that Adam, Noah and Jesus are prophets, announced “there is one god, his name is Allah,” taught the five pillars of Islam, told students how to pray five times a day, and instructed what Islamic religious rules require for dress.
Pastor Dave Welch, spokesman for the Houston Area Pastor Council, confirmed the indoctrination had taken place and called it “unacceptable.”
“The failure of the principal of Friendswood Junior High to respect simple procedures requiring parental notification for such a potentially controversial subject, to not only approve but participate personally in a religious indoctrination session led by representatives of a group with well-known links to terrorist organizations and her cavalier response when confronted, raises serious questions about her fitness to serve in that role,” the pastors’ organization said in a statement.
A parent, whose name was withheld, reported the presentation was 30 to 40 minutes long and handled by Muslims from CAIR, which, as WND has reported, is a spinoff of the defunct Islamic Association for Palestine, launched by Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and former university professor Sami al-Arian, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
It has a history of links to questionable activity. Among the convicted CAIR staffers are former communications specialist Randall Todd “Ismail” Royer, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison on charges he trained in Virginia for holy war against the U.S. and sent several members to Pakistan to join a Kashmiri terrorist group with reported ties to al-Qaida; and Bassem Khafagi, who was arrested in January 2003 while serving as CAIR’s director of community relations and convicted on fraud and terrorism charges in connection with a probe of the Islamic Assembly of North America, an organization suspected of aiding Saudi sheiks tied to Osama bin Laden. Also, in October 2006, Ghassan Elashi, a member of the founding board of directors of the Texas branch of CAIR, was sentenced to nearly seven years in prison for financial ties to a high-ranking terrorist.
Welch told WND today that parents have told him school officials confirmed to them that the principal in question had been instructed not to involve students in any such program.
A mother who had alerted some of the other parents about the situation when she discovered the circumstances told WND, “The superintendent told this principal that the children could not be part of this assembly. It happened anyway.”
“The school board member I talked to … he was outraged,” Welch told WND. “This is part of a nationally orchestrated effort to indoctrinate students through the school system,” he said.
School officials did not return WND calls seeking a comment.
WND previously has reported how public school textbooks used across the nation have begun promoting Islam, teaching even the religious doctrines.
WND also has reported on several other schools that have taught Islam as a required subject.
In the Texas case, a school e-mail to parents provided only a half-hearted acknowledgement that such mandatory religious indoctrination might not have been the best decision.
“In hindsight, a note should have been sent home to parents indicating the purpose and content of the presentation in time for parents to contact me with questions or concerns or requests to exempt their child,” the note from Lowe said. “This will be our practice in the future, should we ever have another presentation of a similar nature.”
The apparent goal of the “Islamic Awareness” presentation was “to increase understanding of the Islamic culture in response to racially motivated comments that have been made to students on campus.”
The pastors noted that the principal’s claim there were “comments” to students on campus was unverified. Nor does that excuse or justify “this infringement upon the religious beliefs of students and parents of the community nor the violation of school policy and possibly state and/or federal law,” they said.
“We do not believe that this unapproved action by Principal Robin Lowe represents the school district and certainly not the majority of students or parents in the Friendswood community. Our commitment is to support all appropriate administrative, legal and political remedies to assure that this will not happen again and these Islamic activist organizations are kept out of our schools,” the pastors said.
The parent reported Lowe told students her sister, niece and nephew were Muslim.
But the parent complained the Muslims “were given full attention of our kids, during academic school time, to present their religious beliefs. … This was put right at the end of the school year … which will most likely prevent a Christian response.
“The kids did not even know they were having an assembly or what topic it pertained to until they entered the gym,” the parent wrote. “I send my kids to school for academics. … I teach them religion at home.”
Noted a WND reader: “All I could think while reading this was what would have happened to this school had it been Christianity being taught?
“Then I thought, ‘So where’s the ACLU and the other complainers?’ … I guess some religions are more equal than others.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
first off its bad enough the kids in this country are endoctrinated on a daily basis by liberal theology and pretty much zero counter arguments to balance it out. now they are being ‘taught’ by a gang of jihadi sympathizing unindicted co-conspirators.
I find it completely outrageous that this group is still allowed to operate within the US, let alone allowed to speak to children.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:04 pmI am writing my local representative with a link to this story. I’d write my Senators but they’d be useless. (Feinstein and Boxer)
There is no way I’ll sit by while these pukes force-feed their cult down our childrens throats. This is wrong on way too many levels.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:19 pmThis is why I sacrifice to send my son to private school. The ACLU can kiss my white Ukrainian, Irish ass: Post haste…..
May 30th, 2008 at 11:20 pmIf the Dems get hold of Congress AND The White House, Dhimmihood For Dummies will be required reading for all of us.
May 30th, 2008 at 11:54 pmI’ve often wondered what the sane people did while hitler ramped it up in pre war germany. I hope I don’t get to see first hand.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:24 amTexas attitudes represent the USA’s strong backbone. The Left is now targeting Texas with indoctrination with extreme aggression in the last few years.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:43 amSome schools are REQUIRED to teach Islam
I thought we were not supposed to teach religion.
May 31st, 2008 at 2:13 amthey will never learn
May 31st, 2008 at 3:18 amIt’s time to institute some Haliburton run FREEDOM CAMPS.
May 31st, 2008 at 4:55 am
Mark. I believe we have been seeing it already 
May 31st, 2008 at 4:56 amThe whole “Islam is peace” bullshit needs to be nipped in the bud and fast. How many students in madrases or the ME are forced to learn the benign teachings of Christ? The hypocrisy is beyond stifling when secularist loathe and obstruct Christian thought and its massive contribution to the west and then go out their way to accommodate Islam’s malignant teachings.
For the sake of our children I say we adopt the Verona model™ and start bulldozing CAIR’s estates and raze what infrastructure it’s developed to poison current and future generations in the US. We can start by relocating CAIR’s headquarters and staff to the Git or better yet send the fuckers to some tiny abandoned atoll in the pacific as target practice for our f-22 raptors.
May 31st, 2008 at 5:03 amI was always taught and reminded of the separation of church and state, all the while prayer in schools was remoced and “under God” stricken from the pledge of allegiance. Now radical Islam is spreading in my own back yard like some parasitic infection. Friends return from Iraq and Afganastan with their reports of these “peaceful” people. So yes, I am pissed and confused when I hear about these groups “infiltrating” our children’s minds. I think we are long overdue in taking a stronger more “politcally incorrect” positon with CAIR and their supporters.
May 31st, 2008 at 5:11 amI wonder what the positions of CAIR and the ACLU would have been, had this been a Christian doing the speaking and proselytizing?
Hey, but I guess one kind of religion trumps another. It’s OK to teach beating of women and the subjigation of all non-Islamics all in the name of Allah the moon-god.
And all taught by the unindicted mouth -pieces for Hamas in America.
Nice move principal Victoria you useful idiot.
May 31st, 2008 at 5:36 amJail the principal…or allow prayer back in school for EVERY faith. After 9/11 not one muslim should have been allowed into this country until all muslims have been re-indoctrinated into the world of civilized behavior.
May 31st, 2008 at 5:55 amThis proves that Islam is not a religion, otherwise these secularist wouldn’t allow it a forum….Oh wait they mention Jesus
“There, two women from the Houston division of the Council on American-Islamic Relations instructed students that Adam, Noah and Jesus are prophets”
maybe that is the bait that they think will win over those “bigotted Christians.” But likening Jesus to a mere prophet and not the Son of God? That is like having a school text that glorifies the koran and gives only footnote status to the New Testament. The anti-christs in the school districts are more than willing to enable these bastards.
May 31st, 2008 at 6:58 amToo many adults just simply don’t understand that Islam is actually the religion of peace and that with greater understanding of Islam by the West we can learn how to simply have a meeting of the minds and use discussion and diplomacy to end all war. My friends, this sounds good but is sheer nonsense! At the same time that these pukes are teaching the religion of peace, the religion of peace is teaching their own children how to be suicide bombers and blow us up. (see memri.org for video proof) We are staring evil itself in the face and the only hope is to confront it with the truth. Meanwhile, CAIR and Muslim Students Assoc. is busy indoctrinating your college students. (see frontpagemagazine.com)
May 31st, 2008 at 7:25 amI take it Sharia Law and Taqiyya weren’t discussed at this event?
May 31st, 2008 at 7:37 amThis really pisses me off and I’ve already sent my emails stating such to the principal and the superintendent…I encourage you to do the same at the following email addresses:
- Principal Robin Lowe
May 31st, 2008 at 7:42 am- Superintendent of Schools Trish Hanks
Wow. So the unindicted co-conspirators mentioned Noah and Jesus in their lecture eh? Wow. Hiding under the rubric of religion really gives these lying jihadis real credence don’t it?
I suppose they also discussed the corruption of the Bible and the prophesies concerning Muhammed and other myths and fables associated with their iliterate bastard of a prophet too?
The Islamics no doubt were teaching the big lie: To wit:
“…Thus, these Judeo-Christian scriptures were relied upon to formulate and validate the arising Arab monotheism, and the Qur’an as a body of scripture saw its evolution impressed upon by the traditions and teachings of the Judaeo-Christian world which existed outside of Arabia. These traditions and knowledge entered into the consciousness of the Arabs’ new religion from the conquered Christian lands (along with the large Jewish populations) taken in Yemen, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. Likewise, the trace of Zoroastrian tales in the Qur’an most likely entered the Islamic realm after the subjugation of the revived Persian Empire under Yazdegird III, the last Sassanid Shah. Coming into contact with the higher civilisations of Constantinople and Ctesiphon, each with their own established monotheistic religion, it is not surprising that the Arabs would desire to invest their new religion with the same sort of traditions. As Ibn Warraq points out, the formulation of the Qur’an likely occurred out of a desire to provide Mohammed, said to be a prophet of the Mosaic model, with his very own Holy Writ. Just as Moses received the Word of God from God, so must Mohammed, to legitimise the Arab claims about his prophethood. In fact, it has been pointed out that Muslim philologists have systematically tried to manipulate the evidence from Arabian poetry so as to give a pre-Islamic appearance for such poetry (patterned along the lines of the Qur’an), for the purpose of giving the Qur’an a more Arabian flavour and thus substantiate the claim that the Qur’an was given to an Arabian prophet in pure Arabic, from God…”
Oh it gets worse. Read 10 Myths of the Qur’an:
May 31st, 2008 at 8:24 amhttp://www.studytoanswer.net/islam_myths.html
Anybody that has even a cursory knowledge of the Bible and has taken a look at a Koran can see that old Mo, while sitting on his 1st wife’s lap, must have been snorting heroin while reading the Torah because the Koran is a really bad ripoff, with the patriarchs and their offspring changed when and where required, history of anything Jewish snuffed, and no mercy shown by Allah.
Then for good measure, a little gospel included I suppose because the pedophile prophet, liking what Jesus Christ had to say, borrowed a few bits and pieces from the New Testament.
What bothered me most about this is I would guess this is a predominately black school with minds already full of useless mush with many of the children from completely dysfunctional homes - fertile ground for recruitment of the bankrupt and false religion of pieces.
The principal should be fired immediately and the parents should demand this. I can virtually guarantee little or nothing will happen; another reason neither of my two daughters ever saw a public school until college.
May 31st, 2008 at 9:05 amI hope you all have your “bug out plan” ready…..
May 31st, 2008 at 10:31 amFellow Dollardians,
May 31st, 2008 at 11:46 amTime to write to the principal: E-Mail is:
and the school top-dog: Trish Hanks at:thanks@fisdk12.net
Blast the principal a new one. Tell the admin that she needs to be fire R. Lowe asap.
I did, and it feels great to battle these yahoos here at home. This is one of the ways we will prevail and win this war on Islamic terror.
This is one of the beginning battles. We have to fight each and every time something like this happens. They will never stop.
May 31st, 2008 at 12:40 pmI sent an email to the superintendant. Thanks for the link.
