After a Maryland high school teacher gave a student fails on a series of indoctrinating assignments for not making a profession of faith in Islam, school officials allegedly had her father threatened for voicing his disapproval, according to a federal lawsuit against the district.
The student’s father, John Kevin Wood, and his wife Melissa, are suing the Charles County Public Schools, its board of education, La Plata High School Principal Evelyn Arnold, and her vice principal, Shannon Morris, WND reports. The lawsuit was filed on behalf of the Marine Corps veteran and his wife by the Thomas More Law Center in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland.
According to the lawsuit, both Christian parents would not stand by as their daughter was being indoctrinated at La Plata High School in La Plata, Maryland, where a religious faith was being allegedly promoted that attacks their own religious beliefs.
“[John and Melissa Wood] refuse[d] to allow their teenage daughter to be subjected to Islamic indoctrination and propaganda in her high school world history class,†the prosecuting attorneys state in their suit. “[The school’s] curriculum, practices, policies, actions, procedures, and customs promote the Islamic faith by requiring students to profess the five pillars if Islam. [Students were required to] write out and confess the shahada, the Islamic profession of faith.â€
WND was told by a district spokeswoman that the principal and vice principal refused to respond to the allegations, even though they are fully aware of the complaint brought against them.
“The lawsuit charges that school officials concealed the curriculum by using two separate history textbooks, one of which contained the Islamic teachings and which students were required to leave at school,†WND’s Bob Unruh reports. “The other, which did not contain the teachings, was allowed to be taken home, the complaint explains. The school also excised the Islamic teachings from the course syllabus.â€
