The U.S. Department of Education has proselytized in our public schools on behalf Islam for many years through its "Access Islam" program. Federally funded, it is directed at children in grades 5 through 12. The Christian Action Network recently demanded that President Trump's recently confirmed Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, terminate the program.
According to an article at Breitbart, a predecessor program began during the Bush administration in 2005. It
"simply taught students about the traditions, culture, and holidays of Islam. Then, it became greatly expanded under the Obama administration. It has continued to develop, and now has had a greater, broader outreach.”According to the linked Breitbart article, "Access Islam" is not only funded by DOE. It is also
"being promoted on various websites," Martin Mawyer, president and founder of CAN, tells Breitbart News. “So, PBS Learning Media is one of the websites that is promoting it. The Smithsonian also promotes it, the Indiana Department of Education promotes it, and even the United Nations promotes it.”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDgxoiW1EEc
Here is the blurb following the video:
The United States Department of Education has developed an Islamic indoctrination program for public schools called, 'Access Islam.'DOE provides no even remotely comparable promotion of any other religion. Nor should it, because for any federal (or for that matter state) agency to do so is inconsistent with the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.The lesson plans are written for grades 5 through 12. They include worksheets and videos to help students perform the 5 Pillars of Islam - prayer, fasting, alms giving, pilgrimage to Mecca and the proclamation of Muslim faith. [Emphasis added."
This short video contains excerpted clips taken from the "Access Islam' program which not only teaches children how to perform a Muslim prayer, but asks students such questions as: 'What does a Muslim prayer sound like?' 'What do the movements look like?' and 'What are some of the things Muslims say during prayer?'
Children are also expected to memorize verses from the Quran and give the meaning of those verses.
Taken as a whole, the U.S. Department of Education's 'Access Islam' program is nothing short of a Sunday school class on Islam.
Here is a video of an interview with the founder of the Christian Action Network:

President Reject Obama's affinity for Islam -- "the religion of peace" which shall not be spoken of truthfully and whose prophet shall not be "slandered" -- got us into this mess along with many others.
Will any of the many major "civil rights" organizations with which America is "blessed" take legal action against state entities which use Access Islam? They have been quite active in opposing even the display of Nativity scenes and the Ten Commandments on public property.
When will Betsy DeVos, President Trump's recently confirmed Secretary of Education, repudiate the "Access Islam" promotion and insist that all video and other presentations of related materials it provided be returned? The DOE apparently remains a big swamp, very much in need of draining.
Another example of America kissing Muslim ass.
When I just mentioned a scripture while teaching in TN and related to a point I made, all hell broke loose. And, that was years ago too. Someone or some organization HAS to be paying for this to happen. Need to find the source, try them for treason and execute them. Period.
So where are all the “separation of church and state” activists?
But Christians praying before a football game has the nitwits of the left crying out in rage....
INSANITY!
And it will continue to do so because absolutely nothing has changed since obongo
You can be sure there is a ton of Saudi money behind this. Betraying your culture and country pays really well!
I hope Trump ends this travesty immediately.
Can we really blame Muslims for thinking the advances they’ve experienced since 9/11 are from the hand of Allah?
The west has caved to the self-declared enemy!!!!
Now we know the source and cause of homegrown jihadis.
#DOE-ChildAbuse
This is absolutely true.
They have Junior High kids study going on the Haj and writing a fake diary about it, as if they were going on the Haj.
Eight years after 911, Muslim Brotherhood took possession of the White House and executive branch. It was an example of geopolitical judo like none other in history.
If you will notice, the Saudis have purchased Europe and are taking possession. They are in the process of doing the same thing here. Most politicians of note, both here and in Europe, are on board with the Saudis. The people have already been sold out and are irrelevant at this point.
...”The west has caved to the self-declared enemy!!!!”...
Indeed yes, however much of this nations congressional leadership, and the past 8 yrs of Obama supports and or appoints them to powerful positions in our government and national security. Therefore they have an operational base still ‘inside’ this country and with far too much political and financial support.
When the press accuses Trump of being owned by the Russians, what they really mean is, he is *not* owned by the Saudis. They want to investigate ties to Russia but they most assuredly do not want to investigate ties to Saudi Arabia on the part of any US politicians current or recent.
Dag Jr. got a supplemental lesson plan at home.
...” Muslim Brotherhood took possession of the White House and executive branch. It was an example of geopolitical judo like none other in history”.....
But they had help from inside...Which ties in with the Globalist agenda to use Muslim Brotherhood throughout the worlds political frameworks and this in all nations.
PING!!!

“Access Islam” is not only funded by DOE. It is also

Thanks, DanMiller
Government “educating” citizens is a thought so horrific words fail me.
No, seriously.
Yet they have the nerve to talk about Russian involvement in our elections...
Same thing here.
How did you like the phrase “Then they went into” when describing their invasions of other nations and cultures.
It was so dishonest.
