Public School Made Kids Pretend to Be Muslims

Massachusetts high school students pretended to be Muslims in the "Islamic" city of Jerusalem as part of a class assignment used in Newton Public Schools to teach about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a new report revealed.
One father was particularly upset when he discovered his daughter had been assigned what he described as an inflammatory pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel article, according to the report. The man was allegedly told by the school's principal that lessons the next year would be even more upsetting to him.
The class assignment, "Cities: Connecting the Islamic Word," was published in an excerpt from a book by CAMERA, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting.
"As our concluding project on the Islamic world, you will work in groups to simulate a historical hajj (pilgrimage) to Mecca in class," a teacher wrote in the assignment description. "Each of you will be part of a group of Muslim pilgrims from one of the following eight Islamic cities or regions, around a rough time period."
One of the eight "Islamic" cities is Jerusalem, and students are instructed to set up a "tent," which will display newspaper articles about "their" cities and cultural artifacts to represent their Islamic "hometowns."
