FEDERAL LAWSUIT Filed Against San Diego School District’s Pro-Islam, Pro-Sharia Law Policy

A lawsuit was filed today to stop the Islamization of students in San Diego public schools. Parents have been fighting this policy for months, to the school board’s deaf ears. This policy amounts to another step in the Islamization of our society. Here is the latest.

“Parents sue SD Unified over Islamophobia bullying policy,” by Gary Warth, San Diego Union Tribune, May 23, 2017:

San Diego Unified is facing a backlash after some people have assumed an anti-bullying policy to protect Muslim students might mean all students will study the Koran and celebrate Muslim holidays.

A legal group and six parents have filed a lawsuit that challenges the constitutionality of a San Diego Unified School District plan to protect Muslim students from bullying.

“It’s our position that the anti-bullying policies should protect all students regardless of ethnicity and affiliation, and they shouldn’t be singling out any religious group for special treatment, as they seem to be doing here,” said Charles LiMandri, president and chief council for the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, which filed the lawsuit in federal court Tuesday on behalf of the parents.

In April, trustees in the districts voted to create a policy that would protect Muslim students from bullying by, among other steps, increasing lessons about Islam.

Students already learn about Islam and other religions as part of a social studies curriculum set by the state, but additional lessons could be added to create a better understanding of the religion, district staff members explained.

LiMandri and others who have objected to the policy said they are concerned the lessons could cross the line separating church and state.

The anti-bullying policy is part of a larger effort the district has adopted to make campuses safe for all students. Anti-bullying policies also have been created for LGBT students and students who are Native American and Latino.

The latest anti-bullying step was the first to focus on a religion and was sparked by a 2015 Council for American-Islamic Relations Report that found 55 percent of American Muslim students surveyed in California had said they were bullied because of their religion.

The district didn’t have data about how many of those incidents happened in its schools, but a report to the board in April did note that there were seven incidents of bullying between July 1 to Dec. 31, 2016, although it didn’t specify which religion was targeted.

“That’s a relatively small number and it does not warrant or justify a wholesale change in the school district or its curriculum,” LiMandri said.

“It appears to us that this is a politically correct type of solution looking for a problem,” he continued. “If Muslim students are being bullied, stop the bullying. But you don’t need to implement a program that is favoring Muslim students or one religion over another.”

LiMandri has been involved in other high-profile, cultural touchstone issues. He was vocal supporter of Proposition 8, the 2008 California initiative that banned same-sex marriage, which was later overturned in court. He’d also been defender of the cross on Mount Soledad.

No representative of the school district would comment on the lawsuit Tuesday, but others had previously addressed concerns with the policy some people had raised.

Stan Anjan, executive director of Family and Community Engagement at the district, has said the district is not favoring Muslim students, but trying to ensure they are given equal protection.

“San Diego Unified does not favor any religion over another,” he wrote in an e-mail to The San Diego Union-Tribune in February. “We welcome all students from all faiths within our school community.”

LiMandri said parents and his law firm have other problems with the district’s actions, including its partnership with the Council for American-Islamic Relations, which he said has a mission “to change American society and advance radical Islam.”

“Of particular concern is the School District’s active collaboration with CAIR, which has longstanding, verified ties to radical Islam,” LiMandri said in a statement released Tuesday.

LiMandri also wrote that several of CAIR’s top executives have been convicted of terror-related crimes.

Hanif Mohebi, CAIR San Diego executive director, said he had not seen the lawsuit and did not respond to a request to address LiMandri’s claims.

A CAIR website, however, did address what it referred to as a smear campaign against the organization.

“The short answer to this is guilt by association,” the site stated about claims that some members have been involved with terrorist groups. “CAIR has hundreds of board members and employees and thousands of supporters. It would be illogical and unfair to hold CAIR responsible for the personal activities of all these people.”

The CAIR website also argues that the organization repeatedly has condemned terrorism and is not associated with extremist, anti-American believes [sic]…..

It’s our position that the anti-bullying policies should protect all students regardless of ethnicity and affiliation, and they shouldn’t be singling out any religious group for special treatment, as they seem to be doing here,

No way, kafir- Islam is here to reign supreme, not to be on a legally equal footing with polytheists and the idolatry of descendants of apes and pigs. Followers of Allah will bully the infidels as they wish.

Sadly, many of them are poor refugees who wish us no harm. The same may not be true of their children, who bring the animus and supremacism of Islam to our shores.

Yes, many of them are “poor” male refugees who leave their families, come to the West and expect Americans to fight for the country that the refugee has vacated. NO MALE REFUGEE OF FIGHTING AGE SHOULD BE LET INTO WESTERN COUNTRIES. They should be protecting their own countries from ISIS. Why should Americans (etc) fight for them?

A public school has no business “increasing lessons about Islam.” However, they should be teaching kids about the violent history of Islam and the fact that it’s been a threat to Western Civilization for 1,300 years.

They should be teaching this as well.
WE ARE AMERICANS
The Founding Fathers and what they said and believed.

The facts of history illustrate the this nation never intended to be “God neutral.” Public displays of worship and subservience to the God of creation have always been made matter-of-factly. There can be no greater example of this than casual and unapologetic declarations concerning God in the constitutions of every one of the fifty states!

Muslim leaders have a history of lies. You cannot trust what they say because they will say something completely different behind our backs.

Islam does not belong in schools. It is not compatible with a free society.

As the author and historian Serge Trifkovic states:

“The refusal of the Western elite class to protect their nations
from jihadist infiltration is the biggest betrayal in history.”

what we need, our side needs- is an anti-ACLU group to sue the crap out
of schools that push this nonsense- IF the ACLU can sue for ‘separation
of church and state’ when it comes to the Christian faith in schools,
then surely our side can sue to keep the Evil of Islam from being pushed
on our kids?

Where is the Freedom From Religion Foundation?
Why aren’t they up in arms and suing the schools for not respecting the separation of church and state?
If the students were forced to study the Bible they would be right on it.
Is it possible that the FFRF is really just an anti-Christian group?

There is no reason that islam would be pushed on everyone. It is obvious that proselytizing muslims have control of the school bard and curriculum department. The Constitution indicates there will be no state religion, that will include no preferred religion in public schools. Private educational instituted financed with private money can teach what is within the law. shari’a is not as it demands the overthrow of the government and imposition of islamic law on everyone, muslim or not.

It should be the position of EVERY school and parent that the anti-bullying policies should protect all students regardless of ethnicity and affiliation, and NO one should be singling out any religious group for special treatment, as they seem to be doing in so many schools. This is so wrong on so many levels.

CAIR has condemned terrorism — how big of them. I’ll bet they finance it behind closed doors.

Islam is the mother of all bullies and is attempting to bully its way into American classrooms. Islamic religious sharia law advocates killing those who leave the religion which defines it as the epitome of bullying. Islam and its anti-Western indoctrination has no legitimate place in American classrooms.
