Quote:Ron Wagner read from part of his son's world history book, "There is no god, but God. Muhamad is the messenger of God."

Wagner is not reading the Five Pillars of Islam from the Quran, but rather his son's 10th-grade world history book from Lyman High School.

"Students were instructed to recite this prayer as the first Pillar of Islam, off of the board at the teacher's instruction," Wagner claims.

Wagner, who is not religious, said he had no idea the public school was teaching so extensively about religion until he spotted a text on his son's phone from a teacher reminding him to complete a prayer rug assignment and study an Islam packet.

"For it to be mandatory and part of the curriculum and in the textbooks, didn't seem right," Wagner said.

Inside of the book is a chapter dedicated to the "Rise of Islam," including prayers and scriptures from the Quran. What's more disturbing for Wagner is that the first 100 pages discussing Judaism and Christianity are missing. The district blames a manufacturer defect in 68 books that are only a year old.

According to Wagner, Dr. Michael Blasewitz, who oversees the high school curriculum, said, "The Pillars of Islam are benchmarks in the state curriculum."

Quote:They did discuss a video played during class about the religion, but Blasewitz got frustrated and stormed out when 9 Investigates asked whether the district is considering changes to the curriculum.

"You're just going to walk away from our interview when we're trying to get information," said investigative reporter Daralene Jones.

Before Blasewitz walked out, he further justified the curriculum, saying students learn specific Judaism doctrine, the Bible and its scriptures, in earlier school years.

Quote:Federal law allows schools to teach aboutreligion, because it's part of history. But public schools may not teach religion.

"There's a difference between teaching of the significance or the impact of a religion and teaching the specific tenets of a religion," Wagner said.

This happened in Florida? LMFAO

Libs are everywhere creating mischief. Conservatives have to play whack-a-mole every time one of these stories pops up.

Do you even know how textbook adoption works?

I've seen many stories about it in the media, but I have never been involved in it personally.

Texas is one of the largest buyers of textbooks in the nation. Therefore, most publishers cater to what Texas wants. As you know, Texas is one of the most conservative states in the nation.

The Texas state legislature screens these textbooks to make sure they are alligned to Texas State Standards. Only a handful of these textbooks make the first cut. Then, these textbooks have to then be adopted by individual school districts.

The process is so expensive and time consuming, that many states simply go with whatever Texas decides.

It is very unlikely that another conservative state like Florida would allow a textbook that would teach Muslim religion.

I wonder how much Christianity/Judaism/Hinduism/Buddhism was included in the textbook/lesson plans?

Not sure but the quoted part of the article states the first 100 pages covering Christianity and Judaism were missing.

The school blamed it on a manufacturer's defect. I bet that's something like misremembering.

Yeah, if other religions were included, I'd have no problem with this. However, if it was just one, then that needs to be corrected.

Like I said, the likelyhood that Florida would allow a textbook that only teached about the Muslim religion is extremely unlikely.

I'm calling B.S. on this one.

Teached? My spell check now needs therapy.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our new world of incompetent teachers. LOL

I am not really sure what the big deal is. Texass and Kansas are promoting Christian indoctrination at the nations schools.

Robs, they're called madrasahs. Islamic schools. They teach three things:

1) Jews are pigs.
2) Jews are dogs.
3) How to blow yourself up.

Damn Robs, you think they are born hating and brandishing weapons or taught that.

Robbie, do you think there area more Klan loving teachers in the US or more Islamic teachers telling their kids to kill non-Muslims?
