"This is not just a class of history of examining culture," she said. She sees it as a tool, not only to engender sympathy and support for the Muslim cause, but for recruitment. Lemings' mother is disturbed by the "fun" description. Joseph Lemings, 12, said, "The Jihad was like playing a video game," even though the true violent nature of Jihad was well concealed. All of them felt that "it was fun," while others described Islam as "a pretty culture." This included a pastor's son. This is hypocrisy!"Įven more disturbing students are to pretend that they are Muslims, wear Muslim clothing to school, stage their own Jihad via a dice game, and pick out a Muslim name (to replace their own) from a list of 30.ĪNS asked some of the students what they thought about this course. "But when it comes to furthering the Islamic religion in the public schools, there is not one word from the ACLU, People For The American Way or anybody else. "Can you imagine the barrage of lawsuits and problems we would have from the ACLU if Christianity were taught in the public schools, and if we tried to teach about the contributions of Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the Apostle Paul?" teacher Elizabeth Lemings lamented.
There are 25 Islamic terms that must be memorized, six Islamic (Arabic) phrases, 20 Islamic Proverbs to learn along with the Five Pillars of Faith and 10 key Islamic prophets and disciples to be studied. There are many verses in the Koran that must be memorized in this Public School course and students are taught to pray, "in the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" and to chant, "Praise to Allah, Lord of Creation." A vast body of historical accounts will refute this image. Muhammad is portrayed as an extremely moral man who wanted a society of purity. They include a history of Islam and the life of Muhammad its founder. The handouts used in this course, obtained by ANS, are considerable. However, there is not one negative to be found about Islam in this one-sided account, such as the wars, massacres, cruelties against Christians and other non-Muslims that Islam has consistently perpetrated over the centuries. This is proper for a complete study of history. Everything Christian is shown in a negative light, with events such as the Inquisition, the Salem witch-hunts, etc. In it, Islam is presented broadly in a totally positive manner, whereas the restricted references to Christianity, is centered on The Reformation, Martin Luther and The Catholic Church. It is described as a Social Studies/History book and has been adopted by the California School System. The textbook used for the Islamic course, "Across The Centuries," is published by Houghton-Mifflin (Boston, Ma.). She quickly learned that God and Christianity are out (forbidden) but that Islam is in. The government school system requires that she teach evolution in her science class with no reference to creationism or any contrasting viewpoint to Darwin's theory. Lemings, in her second year of teaching in the Byron (Northern California) Union School District, has been a Christian since 1987.

"We can't even mention the name of Jesus in the public schools, but over there," she pointed to the building next to hers, "they teach Islam as the true religion, and students are taught about Islam and how to pray to Allah."
"We could never teach Christianity like this," Lemings said to ANS during an on site interview.
The public schools in California so stealthily slipped this course into the 7th grade curriculum that even another 7th grade teacher, Elizabeth Christina Lemings, was totally in the dark that this was being taught until her son, Joseph, who is a 7th grader in the same school where she teaches, brought home the handouts. Their complaints to the school principal not only were ignored, but officials of this public school, funded by tax dollars, essentially fluffed them off. In Byron, Calif., parents were outraged when students came home with handouts and were told what was being taught. Seventh graders in a growing number of public schools, who are not permitted to wear a cross or speak the name of Jesus, are being required to attend an intensive three-week course on Islam - a course in which students are mandated to learn the tenets of Islam, study the important figures of the faith, wear a robe, adopt a Muslim name and stage their own Jihad.
