The worksheet, assigned to seventh-graders at Highland Hills Middle School, presents a passage written by a fictional 20-year-old Saudi woman named Ahlima, who feels “very fortunate” to live under Sharia law in Saudi Arabia. She writes about how she will soon become a man’s second wife and explains her modest dress: “I understand that some foreigners see our dress as a way of keeping women from being equal, but … I find Western women’s clothing to be horribly immodest.”
“That document by itself, it’s almost propaganda,” said Jon Baker, whose daughter also received the worksheet. “If you read that, you would think everything’s wonderful in that world.”
Bill Briscoe, a spokesman for the district, said the curriculum is being reviewed in light of the complaints, per district policy.
The same worksheet, created by InspirEd Educators Inc., caused a controversy when it was used at a middle school in Smyrna, Ga., in 2011. Sharon Coletti, the creator of the worksheet and president of InspirEd Educators, said she received death threats and was accused of “indoctrinating” children at the time.
Coletti, who is a Christian and longtime educator, said in an interview with the Courier-Journal that she wasn’t trying to indoctrinate anyone. She said she was just trying to create a lesson that was more engaging than dry, expository text pulled from a textbook.

“We have one poster here, who I won’t name, that thinks the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is wonderful.”
I read a description of SA written by that poster a few days ago. Made it sound like some kind of perfect place to live.
Ditto. No Christian would be promoting Sharia Law ESPECIALLY to young children whose world view is usually so narrow. Taqqiya anyone?
Or honor killed if she dares to date someone of another religion or gets pregnant before her arranged marriage.
>Just provide facts to the kids and let them draw their own conclusions.
Seems you’re missing the point of govt indoctrination centers, I mean schools. /s
Just wait until a few students decide to run off to some ME hell hole to marry some jihadist. Thought we had learned that lesson a couple years ago but apparently not.
Video: Saudi Arabia Beheads 19 People
“Saudi Arabia has beheaded 19 people in the month of August. Eight of these beheadings are for non-violent offenses. Seven are for drug smuggling and one is for sorcery...”
I think it’s part of “Common Core.”
My daughter has gotten a lot of it. Islam is responsible for equality between the sexes, it was the first religion in history to treat men and women the same. Really astounding nonsense.
Tell us how you really feel.
Tell me what your ideal Mideast looks like.
And the OUTRAGE and ANGST of the ‘Seperation of Church-n-State’\atheists? Sure the ACLU is *right* on the case, no?
Wait. What? No?! That can’t be correct.../s
VP Pence may want to call the school.
From the review:
"A swath of non-Islamic kingdoms and societies once existed in Central Asia, which 1,500 years ago actually enjoyed what Leftists, using the term to mean the opposite of what they say, call cultural diversity. Today no one remembers the names of those kingdoms and societies, for they have been swept into oblivion."
Sharia Law is strictly unconstitutional at the state or federal level.
There is only one way to Stop this crap,
Any Public Employee that teaches Sharia in any way, shall be Required to Live under Sharia in Saudi Arabia for 1 year or spend 20 years in Federal Prison.
Prison will be the better deal
“She didn’t want lessons to be dry.”
Well,,,,, piss on it!
Secular-nationalist authoritarian but ‘progressive’ (in the original non-leftist sense) systems would be my ideal for the muslim countries. Rather Assad than al-Saud.
As for Israel... it would be better if they were not involved in destabilizing neighboring countries (such as Syria) and collusion with radical sunni forces (Saudi Arabia, Turkey and jihadi rebels in Syria) just because it seems opportune at the moment for countering Shias.
It is funny... folks here (justly) trash Saudi Barbaria, but won’t dare looking at Israel’s sordid association with the odious Saudi terrorist ‘royal’ clan.
Coletti’s Facebook page has her favorite tv as “full frontal” - samantha bee. How bad can this woman really be is she admires samantha bee!! (I don’t need sarcasm mark, do I?)
“Coletti, who is a Christian and longtime educator, said in an interview with the Courier-Journal that she wasn’t trying to indoctrinate anyone. She said she was just trying to create a lesson that was more engaging than dry, expository text pulled from a textbook.”
Bull! This is going on all over. How do these addle brained teachers think this is a good thing? Who’s watching these idiots anyway?
Mussies are murdering cowards. But those Christian businesses are worse denying service to the GAYSTAPO - that’s what interests the MSMLSD and liberals the most.
