Con dad threatens sh*tstorm if daughters world history class includes Islam

I think you're talking about Don McLeroy, a member of the SBOE in Texas from 1998 to 2011, and named as chairman by Governor Perry from 2007 to 2009.

McLeroy was anti-evolution, anti-sex education, anti-old earth, anti-abortion, anti-science. One scientists described him as "breathtakingly incorrect." He was narrowly defeated for re-election in 2012.

 

"I have witnesses that have said I did not threaten anybody in any way shape or form,” said Kevin.

"He was threatening to cause a disruption or possible disruption at the school,” said Katie O'Malley-Simpson, spokesperson for Charles County Public Schools.


"possible disruption" is not threatening anyone.. What a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing shock another Rawstory propaganda fest.

Considering this is one of their posters i'm not shocked though

Are all ex-military CON's, cpiccy? Well...are they? Do you know this man? Have you proof he's a conservative? Because if not, your post title is as a huge FAIL....not unlike many of your others.
You're just making crap up (again), throwing it on PF and then ranting....geesh man, are you really that shallow?

 

Sounds to me like someone has over-reacted to a mis-understanding of the standard history curriculum, and the OP has over-reacted to this.

 

But most schools refuse to teach anything about Christianity. And if they do teach about Islam are they going to present it in it's true form?? It was NEVER the religion of peace but rather the religion spread by the sword!! And that's how it was taught when I was in school. Now, do you want it taught has it was or do you want to change history??

 

I am sure he is really gonna be pissed when he sees all the Christians stuff in their history books

sounds like dad needs to see a doctor, maybe they can give him some zanax or something

.

 

obviously he was scary enough that the school had to get the restraining order......

religion upsets people which is why all religion, even this guys, should only be taught as an ELECTIVE

which means no "under God" in the pledge, no religious teaching in regular classes.....

I think this Christian has proved why religion was taken out of the schools in the first place..... only back then it was cause of Christian infighting

.

 

Please detail this "scarey"...

 

Without even reading the article, I can tell you I would go ape shix if my children's school proposed teaching my kids about Islam IN A WAY WHICH SHOWED ISLAM IN A POSITIVE LIGHT.

We need to be giving them the information which will prepare them for the campaign being waged against ALL Americans as we speak. A campaign they can't see of feel now but one which is silently growing more and more virulent and dangerous and is going to explode in their faces some time in the future.

The data is all there.

Why do Muslims want to live here?

For the same reasons anyone else would.

Right.

AND?

And to perform Jihad in the very home court of the Great Satan.

Moderate and other Muslims in America are being on their best behavior now because they know we are watching them but still the infiltration goes on without stop. But on the surface everything is pretty much uneventful as far as Muslim terrorism is concerned, thanks to our men and women on duty around the clock watching out for all of us.

But the situation remains that when there are enough Muslims in any one place for them to begin agitating for their rights that is when you will start complaining about all the Muslim problems we will suddenly experience almost overnight.

Well the time to prevent those sorts of occurrences in America is BEFORE Muslim population numbers grow much beyond the 1% +/- saturation mark.where they are now.

 

threatening to come to the school and disrupt a classroom of children

 

How so?

 

The Pope just said the other day that Creationism and Evolutionism do not conflict with each other. So now the extremist zealots are the leftist science geeks who refuse to budge on their "religion" while the Pope himself said that it is essentially okay for you evolutionists to believe in your silly theory that still lacks that elusive Common Ancestor that you keep swearing once existed somewhere.

 

OMG did they really say that? Absolutely hilarious. Parents be vewy vewy careful about what your children are being taught.

 

Agreed, and a very reasonable balanced position. Thing is, I grew up in the very buckle of the Bible Belt, small town with 30,000 pop and over 100 churches, elem school in the 60-70s in public schools. Not one prayer other than the Lord's Prayer at sporting event, nada other than that. We said the pledge of allegiance, which I disagree with, but no prayers, no religion taught in class, none of that. Later in private school we had chapel, but it was nondenominational and opened with a vague prayer once a week. Before that in public HS, no creation or evolution either one was mentioned. We were too busy learning about difficult stuff like nephresis and the krebs cycle.

I feel bad for kids if they are brought up in schools that teach religion or creationism, it should be stopped (am an atheist btw), but where is it happening specifically? I'm skeptical that it even exists given the slant of the leftosphere. Sure it exists somewhere, but have a strong hunch it's anomalous.

 

That's almost always the nature of these articles from this particular poster. Essentially it's just leftwing generated flamebait but flamebait that's just barely inside the rules, and so it seldom results in a lockout.

 

I don't quite understand what you are saying. I know the Pope has said that evolution happened, probably pretty much as theorized (since the theory rests on the evidence), but that the scientific theory of evolution does not rule out the Pope's god both starting and guiding the process. In this view, science can see HOW the Pope's god works, even if it can't see the Pope's god directly. I have no problem with this - the god layer neither adds nor subtracts from the scientific substance.

The Pope said nothing about a common ancestor. Nobody expects anything ever found to be "the common ancestor", people only observe that common ancestry is a logical outcome of a set of many observations.

And certainly the Pope is not talking about American creationism, which regards the tales in Genesis as literal natural history. Certainly the Pope does not.

As for being willing to ignore evidence in favor of some arbitary misinterpretation of religious doctrine, I understand why science cannot afford to do this. You understand that the "leftist science geeks" are perfectly willing to consider any and all new evidence. What they won't budge on is discarding uncongenial evidence in favor of superstition.

 

Oh dear. B-But the OP didn't mention that! I mean it's not like this is a deliberately skewed OP actually MEANT to be flamebait, is it? Say it isn't so!

Meh . . . at least it can be fun deconstructing these ideologically-based trash stories from the Left.

 

Would that it were. Are you familiar with David Barton?

If not, I have a link here to a genuinely awful book, so I'll warn you on the off chance that you are interested. This book is VERY poorly written, it is boring and repetitive, written by an amateur who desperately needed a professional writer to make it bearable. But the substance, ah, this is what matters. And the substance is good even though the author goes into anal levels of detail...

If you present, as part of a history class, various prayers that various religions invoke, there is nothing illegal or reprehensible about it. Oddly enough, having children RECITE these prayers is also generally harmless, if the prayers are clearly foreign to the culture, because there is no danger of threatening the religion indoctrinated into the kids already. If we declare it forbidden for schoolchildren to read, for example, American Indian religious ceremonies in preparation for a hunt, we're being anal.

Most religions are inculcated very early in childhood, and are also deeply embedded in the growing child's cultural milieu. The only American teenagers we see running off to join ISIS are Arab-Americans, growing up in a strongly Islamic household, speaking Arabic around the house, reading Arabic books and texts, knowing what a caliphate IS and what it means. American teenagers raised in Western traditions (Jews, Christians, most atheists, even many Japanese) are not susceptible to such temptations.

If this guy's daughter isn't Arabic, can't speak the language, wasn't raised in the Islamic traditions, she's in no danger at all.

 

Oh puke! I've taught history and there are no educational benefit justifications for teaching prayers outside of a comparative religion class; and -- now this may shock you to the very core of liberal ideology -- but most comparative religion classes don't actually teach prayers either. What teaching Islamic religion prayers to students would amount to would be a social engineering attempt on the part of Christianity despising leftwing radicals disguised as legitimate education professionals.

 

Wait its a World History class and they likely cover the Crusades and other events where you kind of have to deal with Islam.

 

Thanks for the link, not up to 5xx something page pdf though. Where are these public schools where Christianity is taught? It's totally outside my experience, or anywhere I know in the Deep South. We have excellent public schools in my neck of the woods, small middle class town, and always have, which may have something to do with it.

 

Sshhh. Logic not allowed. It goes *whooooosh!*

 

I'm wondering if you are going to back up those statements with sources since there is no way to know if your have presented a true representation.

Oh wait of course as a conservative everything you post is gospel. At least to all the other conservatives around here.

 

"History is written by the victors" so says a person name Napoleon. This means that all history books are tainted with some sort of agenda. However, there are some history books that really should not be used. One is any history book by David Barton from Wallbuilders and the other is by Howard Zinn. But discussing Middle Eastern empires will involve Islam and Christianity in their discussions. For instance, the Ayyubid dynasty and its effect on the Crusades. Do you really think an over Christian textbook would be informative on this, or would there be a specific orientation on how that dynasty affected the Crusades in the Meddle East?
