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.

Thanks. I just right clicked to get VIEW and printed that.
I have some liberal in-laws who have never believed me about such things. I will take Obama’s suggestion and bring it up at the next family gathering:)
and christianity is the enemy...................the mentally ill are worse than we thought
Or an assignment to memorize the Nicene creed.
Oh please, in no way is a protestant anti-baptism.
Coincidentally - or not - this is also how you call Beetlejuice.
+ to your tagline.
Or Beetlejuice...
They first declare the other mooslimes are really not mooslimes and they have committed shirk or some other penalty their shacrap law dictates a death sentence for. This is the main contention between the sunnis and shiites. Neither claim the other to be mooslime.
It that occured, would the MSM refer to it as "practicing speaking German" and "giving a traditional German hand gesture"?
It appears AMERICA has been invaded by muslims beliving in Islam for many, many years. Because so many people find it so easy to lie not just once, but over and over again. Are all liars muslims? Are all muslims liars?
Yes. Have Muslim kids practice their ancient Greek script by transcribing “I am the way and the truth and the light. Noone comes to the father but through me.”
See how that flies.
The government schools are a price-fixed monopoly cartel and they are a socialist entitlement. That's not reformable on any level ( federal, state, or local)>
Too right. The black street cred chick in the Trayvon Martin trial of Zimmerman said... quote “ I don’t read cursive” when asked to read handwriting.
Read it and weep. This country has gone nuts.
Most Muslims don’t have a clue what’s really in the Q’Ran, Hadiths etc., and stay with Islam because they’d be murdered if they try to escape.
What kind of a religion has to be propagated and maintained at the point of a bloody sword, anyway?
Yeah; I know the Catholic Church did that too, for over a thousand years... but they eventually got over it.
Islam, obviously, never did.
I suppose the "standard text" only had two lines in it and the other was Christian, which everyone knows is just plain wrong to force upon kids, with all that gooey love stuff and all....
btt
I agree .. the health of our schools is abysmal. Our children are not being taught what they need to know to succeed as a person; nor are they being taught about America, but what they are being taught is how to write Arabic; attend a Mosque; read the Koran.
I think the STATES would do a much better job. If a Governor had to be responsible for the content of our schools, they might pay more attention to who their superintendent of schools represents (America or Islam).
We have to stop this indoctrination of our children to HATE AMERICA .. instead of understanding how America came to be .. and how it developed over the years. And, not leaving out all the great accomplishments.
That national information has absolutely no relation to how Obama sees America. He was taught by Communists, Marxists and Socialists (his family members, and his college Professors). Why do people expect him to love America when he was never taught the truth about her ..??
Are people aware that Jihadists start teaching their children to kill at the age of two .. by showing them videos of people being beheaded; set on fire; etc., etc. This is why Trump is saying we have to go after the whole family .. because even a 2 year old is being taught to kill.
So, if you start with just a few little things (as I’ve described above), that’s how you change the minds of children, and they don’t even realize it until it’s too late.
That’s what I thought - those words are conversion words. I am NOT an expert on this, let it be known.
