Christianity Banned From the Classroom While Islam Is Celebrated

CBN News
2/23/2017

A New Jersey middle school refuses to allow the Bible in the classroom but is perfectly fine with teaching Islam to its students.

Nancy Gayers' son was just trying to get his classmates to donate to a good cause when he was shut down for "proselytizing" Christianity.

Gayers presented a PowerPoint to his fourth-grade class advertising his attempts to collect gloves and hats for poor children. Everything was fine until he showed a slide that included a Bible verse.

His teacher immediately stopped the presentation, and said it "belongs in Sunday school, not the classroom."

The Bible verse he cited was from Proverbs 19:17, "Caring for the poor is lending to the Lord, and you will be well repaid" (CEV).

Gayers took the incident to the school district, which defended the teacher's actions, saying it was in accordance with their "proselytizing" policy.

However, parents spoke up when that same policy was not applied to Islam.

and yet the article goes on to say:

"Gayers said her older son was taught about Islam in his seventh-grade class in an instructional video that included lines like "Allah is the creator of everything, the one true God."

"In my opinion, I call this proselytizing, for by definition of this word, it means convert or attempt to convert from one religion, belief or opinion to another...

The school refused to remove the course when questioned because, it says, "It is part of the New Jersey curriculum core content standards to teach students about the various religions of the world."

However, Gayers said the teacher only talked about Islam but would not touch the other two Abrahamic religions: Judaism and Christianity.

"We were labeled as bigots....Xenophobic, Islamophobe, I mean it went as far as the KKK, which I don't know what that has to do with this.
also called sad and ignorant at best"

Middle School Mothers with Objections to Islamic Curriculum Hire Law Firm

by Michael Patrick Leahy
30 Mar 2017

Two mothers of seventh graders who attend Chatham Middle School in New Jersey have hired the Thomas More Law Center, a public interest law firm, after their legitimate objections to pro-Islamic curriculum in their children’s classes have resulted in personal and social media attacks upon them within their community.

“Their crime: appearing on Fox TV’s Tucker Carlson Show to voice concerns about Islamic indoctrination of Chatham Middle School seventh graders,” the Thomas More Law Center said in a press release on Thursday.

“Libby Hilsenrath and Nancy Gayer were subjected to personal attacks throughout their campaign to stop Islamic indoctrination at the Chatham Middle School. They were defamed as “bigots” and “Islamophobes”, “hateful”, “ignorant”, “xenophobes”, “intolerant”, “racist”, “closed minded”, “sad and ignorant” in social media, and the list goes on. The attacks significantly intensified after their appearance on the Tucker Carlson Show,” the statement continued...
...

“The promotion of Islam is worse than what the mothers presented to Tucker Carlson,” Richard Thompson, President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center said.

“After viewing one of the videos which the seventh graders were directed to watch, I can’t imagine any objective person saying this is not Islamic indoctrination. Clueless school administrators across our nation are allowing this type of indoctrination to take place and it’s up to vigilant parents to stop it. Libby and Nancy should have been praised, not pilloried,” Thompson added.
