“Islamic hand sign” sounds a lot like street gang signs...

Simple assault? I believe I would file a civil suit- there is a whole string of civil rights violations in this story...

That sounds like some sort of gang hand signage. The dimwit Latino and Amish gangbangers are always going around making bizarre finger signage that simply makes them look like what they are, dumb a-sh-les, to the rest of us.

It's not just dimwit latino and Amish gangbangers.
Imagine the discomfiture of a normal mainstream American family which discovers that their son is marrying a 30-something seemingly normal woman who, together with her childhood closest friends are flashing the moron signs at their wedding.

A lot more common than most of us realize. There's no explaining the clueless' attraction to the dysfunctional definition of "cool..."

Wow. You know, if I ever hit the lottery I could just sit home and spend probably 6 hours a day calling up various people, organizations, entities, etc. and asking them “what’s wrong with you?”

So does this fall under “reading”, “writing”, or “(a)rithmatic”? No wonder we (the US) score so poorly in education.

From the article above :
'...she stayed on this issue for two days straight during their reading and math class,” she said.'

So the answer must be "reading and math"

If Vegas ever gave odds on certain ‘assumptions’ they wouldn’t be able to afford all those shiny lights and tall hotel towers and such.

A crime happens and the perp’s race, affinity for islam and/or political persuasion is omitted? Place your bets! You won’t win every time, but it’ll pay well in the long term.

Sad that things have devolved this far. And we all knew what to expect when we clicked the link.

...I am guessing, but is the school teacher a member of the heretical Nation of Islam and is she actually teaching gang signs or some other crap she made up like the new agers do by calling their own fantasies “American Indian” tradition?

Interesting point.
Sounds like the tribal tendencies that made ebonics almost possible as a civilized language.

This is more than disturbing it is further evidence of the norming of the deviant in mass popular culture. Take a look at my comment in this posting: Child Abuse: Sandusky, the Catholic Church, and the Education Establishment.

The general culture of the country is being corrupted from the top down and as a people we are becoming our own enemies.

It would seem the answer is “reading” and “arithmetic”.

As a former educator I am absolutely appalled at reading this but I am not surprised. Incidents like this are happening across our country, but we are not hearing about it!

Thank you, Randita, for the ping as I will also ping my Virginia Freeper list here.

Please, Virginia Freepers, do everything you can to make sure this FR link goes to everyone on your email lists, and ask them to do the same. Contact your local School Board and make them aware that you want to be assured that nothing like this happens in your local schools! Contact EVERY media outlet in your state and demand they report this!

The ONLY advice I can give any parent who reads this is to ALWAYS be involved in what is going on in your child's classroom and education! And I mean from Pre-K through college level!

So why are local media not covering the story involving Harris, who has been with the school since September, allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old student and forcing her class to learn Islamic hand signs?

The story is covered everyday on local WAVY TV news.

“So why are local media not covering the story involving Harris, who has been with the school since September, allegedly assaulting a 10-year-old student and forcing her class to learn Islamic hand signs? What makes this story different?”

The same reason why they wouldn’t report on the beating of two white people in Norfolk (reporters no less!!) The leftmedia in tidewater is horrible.

And pull your kids from these lousy schools. The Chesapeake schools are supposedly “good.”

According to the article at WAVY tv, there might be some problems with the story. This is a “special needs” class, the teacher isn’t Muslim, and she’s been teaching for 23 years. I think I’ll wait for more information before I get too excited about this.

“...traditional Islamic hand gesture...”

We used to call that giving someone the “Windex finger”.

No Christian prayers allowed, but Islamic prayers are! Sure makes my blood boil.

“Butts Road Intermediate School”

.
What an imaginative name for a school.

We have a school in our neighborhood that could be renamed using this as a guideline:

How does “Road behind the old lumberyard Elementary School” sound?
