A Breitbart News investigation reveals that mainstream media outlets incorrectly reported a key detail in the story of the 9th grade World Geography teacher in Virginia who sparked a national controversy over a "calligraphy lesson" that required students to hand copy the Arabic characters that comprise the shahada, the Islamic statement of faith.
According to news reports, the teacher said she "had not designed the assignment herself, but took it from a standard workbook on world religions."
That was how the News Leader, a Gannett daily newspaper headquartered in Staunton, Virginia, initially reported the story on Thursday. Gannett is the mainstream media giant that owns approximately 100 daily newspapers across the country, including such liberal stalwarts as the Des Moines Register, the Tennessean (Nashville), and the Courier-Journal (Louisville), as well as the national USA Today.
But when the News Leader updated the original story on Friday morning, teacher Cheryl LaPorte's "standard workbook" claim disappeared.

The teacher should be tried, convicted of child abuse, and sentenced to be publicly flogged. This demonicrat treachery has to be recognized and punished.
This should be easily resolved. Ask to see the calligraphy for Japanese, Chinese, Pali or Hebrew.
Bookmarking. Thanks.
What a difference.
Jesus said to love your enemies.
Mohammad and his followers love to murder anyone who is not a Moslem and even other Moslems sometimes.
It’s still astonishing that the school and the teacher don’t understand what the big deal is.
Maybe they don’t watch enough cable news.
Ping.
In that region, you may have as much push back for that as the Muslim assignment if the region is largely protestant.
Printed off for some in laws. Thanks
Interesting.
That information is apparently out there for anyone who wants to look.
Unfortunately you will never see it unless you look for it. The media sure doesn’t want you to know.
There’s another thread going where a public school educrat drone is calling concerned conservative parents and other FReepers *posers*, for calling themselves conservative.
This ping list is for the "other" articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
So, I guess the Principal or the District didn’t want it known that they were indoctrinated our children with Islam teachings.
ALL THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE FIRED. AND .. THIS IS WHY WE MUST GET THE UNIONS OUT OF OUR SCHOOLS. AND .. WE MUST INSIST THAT OUR CHILDREN BE TAUGHT THE TRUTH ABOUT AMERICA’S FOUNDING .. NOT SOME KOOKIE STUFF .. THAT HAS NO BASIS IN FACT.
They should start with the books written by Rush Limbaugh. They are really wonderful, and all the children call in to his program and say how much they enjoy reading the stories, and learning about American History.
Interesting too that there are no images of this La Porte woman with the story.....at Google images there is one likely candidate (and yes she looks like the DiC’s daughter)
Doesn’t Islam have some pretty strict rules about how any item with “Allah” written on it must be disposed of? Some teacher may get a head lopping if this homework assignment ends up in the dumpster with the leftover pork chops from lunch.
Yet they DO Teach “world religions”. Somehow, I don’t think so.
Text if that’s easier to print.

The financial idiot’s WSJ guide to the history of Islam in 5 easy sentences:
Islam was not originally meant to be practiced by humans. In its first printing the Koran was a manual for the care and feeding of great white sharks.But Mohammed found a copy in the desert and changed a few pronouns, went to reprint and presto - a religion of peace guide for the fin challenged.
When Big Mo passed away, some followers(shia)thought of the caliphate as a closed corporation and leadership thus should remain in the family and advocated Big Mo’s slightly incestuous cousin/son in law, Little Ali,taking the reins and leading them to the plankton while other sharks...I mean, followers (sunni) subscribed to the publicly traded corporation caliphate model that any unrelated random with enough shares could control the enterprise thus resulting in the world’s longest running shareholder proxy battle spanning 1300 years. This resulted in many from both shareholder camps dispatching each other as well as resistant non shareholders (otherwise known as Christians and all who marked the religion box “other”) to paradise resulting in a severe virgin shortage.
The End.
