A West Virginia parent, Rich Penkoski, was displeased to see his seventh-grade daughter bring home a “calligraphy” assignment that asked students to write an Islamic pledge to Allah in Arabic last week.
He contacted the principal, Ron Branch, at Mountain Ridge Middle School — and wanted an explanation as to why his daughter was asked to inscribe the shahada.
The Arabic passage translates to “There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah.”
“I saw the assignment of writing the shahada in Arabic. [The school’s] excuse was calligraphy,” Penkoski told The Christian Post.
“I was like, ‘Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!’ First of all, calligraphy was invented in China 3,000 years prior to Muhammad. The fact that they were trying to get my daughter to write that disturbed me,” the father continued.
“I said, ‘That is not happening. My daughter is not doing that,'” Penkoski added. “My daughter told me that if she didn’t do the assignment, then she was going to get a [detention] slip.”
Penkoski said the school told him that the teacher, Katherine Hinson, had only added the calligraphy worksheet with the Islamic religion packet as an optional exercise. The dad believes he was given this line because he raised objections, according to The Christian Post.
"If it was optional, then why was there no option for comparison for Judaism and Christianity? There was no option to recite any of the Lord's Prayer and [the] Ten Commandments. There was no option to write Hebrew," Penkoski said. "Why [was] it only [about] Islam?"

Pay attention Christians. This is why you can't argue to ratchet religion into schools. Eventually one you don't like has to be included.
Paid for by Soros.
WTH WEST VA of all places????
Weird!
I thought religion was to be kept OUT of schools.
With this story in mind, is it time to bring Christianity back to school in full fashion?
Get religion out of schools completely.
This is the direct result of you people just complaining and not taking action!!!! Thinking it won't affect you until it does!!!!
This is how it works, they slowly creep this crap into the schools and govt and everywhere else, and they wait for you to complain and fight back, when you don't as usual, they know and think you want it and will allow more of it... Then instead of taking action in the proper way you get of Fagbook and post about it, getting everyone all stirred up to do nothing, still as usual...
But this is what you get, and I don't feel one bit sorry for you people, and quite frankly you deserve it!!!!
Islam, as a religious system, is entirely of Satanic origin. The Devil is behind every aspect of it. It is a "monotheistic" form of the ancient moon worship that Abraham left in Iraq 2000 BC, but which his descendents through Ishmael have continued. When Muslims circle the Kabah en mass, the Devil is the true object of their worship. The Bible teaches that the Devil and demons use religions like Islam in order to be worshipped by man as God. "the Gentiles sacrifice things to demons and not to God" 1 Cor 10:20; 2 Chron 18:21-22; Acts 17:16-23; Lev 17:7 ; Deut 32:17; Ps 106:37; Rev 9:20; Rev 16:13-14; Rev 18:2; 1 Ti 4:1-2; Gal 1:8. That Islam is clearly of satanic origin is seen in how vicious the theological and physical attacks are against Christians or anyone who believes that Christ was crucified at all, or that Christ is God's Son. Islam to pagan Arabs is an excellent satanic counterfeit that has influenced 1/4 of the earth's population. Islam is certainly the Devil's greatest challenge against the one true God and and Savior
What do you suggest we do. The father of this child stood up for his rights. How do we as a citizen stop Soros. Tell me.
1:10-You people? Here he goes again! Keyboard warrior troll, thinks he's better than everyone else. What a putz! His comments are good for a laugh. He really thinks he's awesome, and it's so pathetic! I deserve to have a teacher in West Virginia teach a kid a bunch of nonsense? Are you stupid or something?
And some people laugh at the thought of the invisible shadow government.
Exactly who allowed that to happen? Fire the boob!
Hang him.
