If that was a Christian song they would have put all the teachers and administrators in jail...and sent the kids off for re-education in a nice summer camp.

My homeschooled daughter was accepted into all the schools she applied to as well.

But she didn't have nationwide exposure on a subject that would have Muslims on campus wanting to try to kill her, which was the actual thing I was worried about for him.

I believe that for a strict Muslim singing a song to allah would in itself be blasphemous.

we are expected to praise Islam and tiptoe around Muslims’ sensibilities, of course with libs leading the way.

And the first 'lib' who led the way was George W. Bush and his "Islam means peace" misstatement of the facts.

Public school choirs all over America are still singing religious songs. My daughter’s last concert included at least 5 religious songs. They’re chosen for their style and beauty, not for their message. This isn’t a violation of any court ruling.

Your friends make me want to move back to Colorado Springs. I imagine at some point, The Springs will be the last territory of Christianity.

But I am confused, did this kid quit the choir, or the school ?

More evidence to support what you knew instinctively:

Obama may have made the mistake of making his move to sharia a little too quickly. Between the dhimmi tax in Obamacare (basically, since it forces Christians to violate their own religion and imposes a fee for Christians that Muslims don’t have to pay), the food police telling a little girl in NC(?) that she couldn’t have the cheese and turkey sandwich, chips, banana, and apple juice that her Mom put in her lunch, and now the Islamist moves in CO followed by death threats to a high school boy who quit the choir rather than violate his own belief system.... I’m hoping people will wake up to where this is all headed.

The links I gave give some background as to where all this has come FROM. Serious charges, I know, but I believe the evidence supports what I’m saying.

I refuse to sing the song either. In the words of G.W., “Bring it...”

The kid quit the choir because he didn’t want to sing that song. He wanted them to change it; they refused so he quit. Now he’s getting death threats to the point that his family doesn’t believe he can be safe in a public school.

That’s a problem, wouldn’t you say?

If he’s getting death threats, yes, that’s a problem.

‘I refuse to sing the song either. In the words of G.W., “Bring it...”’

Don’t forget that same source of wisdom identified Islam as a religion of peace.

Really? Wow, I didn’t know that. At my niece’s “Winter Celebration” or whatever they call it (can’t have a Christmas special anymore), there were zero religious-themed songs. I just assumed that it was a public school thing.

Thanks for the info! :-)

Too bad he wasn’t closer to Colorado Springs. I know a few people there who would be most happy to assist the young man in dealing with these threats

Or, Lone Tree, CO. Someone there could definitely assist with these kind of threats ;)

When the day comes that Islam becomes the State Religion it will the day that I will take up arms.
I would rather die that deny my God.
Kneel before Allah....not this man.

What the h*ll has happened to this country? Muslims attacked us on 9-11, and ever since then we are expected to praise Islam and tiptoe around Muslims’ sensibilities, of course with libs leading the way. I just can't believe this chain of events. Attack our country, and in doing do commandeer the status of uber-protected.

Kinda like how after AIDS came on the scene, the libs worried about a gay backlash. Now, you are a bigot if you don't support gay marriage.

So public schools can't have prayer, can't sing Christmas carols or have plays about Jesus' birth, and have to call the Christmas vacation "winter recess", and so on. But they can sing songs glorifying Allah and then the one kid who has guts gets death threats? When is the pro-Muslim insanity going to end?
