San Diego Schools Bow to Islam

The battle has finally been lost, for the time being, in San Diego.  Groups like We the People Rising, and concerned parents, have been fighting to stop the submission to Islam that has been going on in San Diego.  While the liberal left in the United States claim they support "separation of church and state", what they mean is "keep Christianity inside the four walls of the church."  However, when it comes to Islam, whose teachings include world domination and "Death to America," Muslim kids in San Diego can now freely celebrate their faith in public schools.  The California school board voted unanimously to start incorporating more Muslim-themed lessons into classrooms, and the officials of the San Diego Unified School District are running with it, saying it will help combat "Islamophobia."

For a moment, let's talk about Islamophobia.  A phobia is an irrational fear, so the claim is that there is an irrational fear of Islam that has gripped our nation, making us like the Nazis were to the Jews.  The fix is for us to learn more about Islam, so that our fears are disproved and then we can all be one big happy collective society.  However, I have studied Islam, and my fears are very rational.  Allah is a god of anger and rage, and Islam, through the Koran, and the Hadiths, teaches violence and for Islam to convert the world at the tip of the sword.

We are not the Nazis.  Islam is.

Islam is not a religion, it is a political ideology that fully encompasses all parts of one's life, and non-compliance results in violent actions against the guilty, or death for daring to stand against their mandates.

In America, the Islamic invasion has established their own organizations and military bases, like the radical Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).  With the propaganda assistance of CAIR, the San Diego school district has established a broad plan to promote Islam through training materials, the school calendar, curriculum, and even "safe spaces" for Muslim students, like good little dhimmis.

As the protests and disagreements reached their ears, they claimed they were not "endorsing a particular religion."

So, if that's the case, where's the accommodating bend over backwards policies for Christians and Jews?  When my daughter was in high school just a jaunt up the road from San Diego, she was told to put her crucifix necklace inside her shirt because it may be upsetting to some students.  When I confronted the teacher, she had a statue of Buddha on her desk, and a flowery rainbow peace symbol on her bulletin board.  When I talked to her, she then tried to explain to me how the cross around my daughter's neck could be misconstrued as the school endorsing a particular religion or belief, and that is not allowed.

I pointed at her Buddha and flowery rainbow peace symbol, and she said, "But those are uplifting, and are not judgmental like your daughter's religious symbol.

After I visited the principal and threatened it would go to the school district or a lawyer, they "made an exception" for my daughter.

Now, the poor Muslims must have their place to pray, and a safe space away from any possible bullying by the Nazis of Islamophobic beliefs.

I wonder what the outrage would be like if Christian parents asked for "safe spaces" for their children allegedly bullied for their biblical beliefs.

As for those poor Muslim students, being offended, or being surrounded by people who may not agree with you is a fact of life.  That is what freedom is all about.  In a system of liberty, freedom of speech and expression is given to all members of the society.  The handling with kid gloves for Islam is not freedom.  What is happening in San Diego is not surprising, and the idea hasn't exactly been a popular one with local families. In fact, some parents are very upset about the  preferential treatment for Muslims.

Preferential treatment does not fit in with the "all are created equal" mantra of the United States.

My message to the poor, sad Muslims?  Suck it up, or leave the country if you don't like the reality of a free society.

You can't offend me.  Why would I allow someone to have that kind of power over my emotions?

"Students of all faiths face daily bullying, but instead of protecting all religious students, the school district has selected Muslim students to receive special protection and resources," said a spokesman for one of the two nonprofit organizations joining a lawsuit against San Diego's decision. 

The Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund also let out a statement.  "Plaintiffs do not wish for their children, as non-Muslims, to be accused of bias and bullying by the school district and CAIR if they express viewpoints or beliefs that may conflict with the School District's and/or CAIR's arbitrary, de facto interpretations of 'bias' and 'bullying.'".

San Diego ruling elite school officials, regardless of what parents desire, are infusing "Islamic heritage" into lessons.  Meanwhile, Christianity is being quarantined like a deadly disease from U.S. schools. 

Added note: Christian values and principles, and the Israeli governmental framework from the Book of Deuteronomy, was the foundation of our country.  Islam's contribution was to declare war on the United States shortly after we became a country, hence, the reason for the two Barbary Wars fought during the presidencies of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

While the liberal left Democrats have absolutely no tolerance for the Christian faith or Judaism in the public square, they are using the government to endorse (and establish) Islam as the preferred religion, despite the 1st Amendment's warning and prohibition against doing so.

So, in short, the government has kicked Christian prayer out of school, and are taking down any public display of Christianity like crosses on public land; yet, the liberal left in places like San Diego are doing all they can to endorse Islam, which carries with it a long history of hate, rage, violence, and terrorism.

Diversity.  Multiculturalism.  Unless you are a Christian or a Jew.  Then, get out, be silent, or (coming soon in a mosque infected city or school near you) be killed.
