NY SCHOOL ORGANIZES ‘HIJAB DAY’ FOR NON-MUSLIM STUDENTS

“As a high school teacher for over 30 years, let me say that this is wrong on so many levels.”

ROCHESTER, N.Y. –
Officials at Rochester’s World School of Inquiry spent last week fielding dozens of calls from parents angry about a “World Hijab Day” event that encouraged girls to wear the Muslim religious head covering.

Sophomore Eman Muthana wears a hijab to school and wrote a letter to principal Sheela Webster asking if the school can put on its own World Hijab Day at the school last Friday,WHAM reports.

Webster approved the event – designed to educate students about the religious purposes behind the hijab – but did not inform parents until after the media reports of the event sparked backlash online, and angry calls to the school, according to WHEC.

12:14 My problem is that the school is "promoting" it. Would my son be allowed to wear a "Trump" baseball cap? I doubt it.

How about a day promoting ham as the only thing served in the cafeteria or a day where all the boys wear those little jewish beanies. What the hell why don't we just nail someone to a cross,like whoever made that stupid decision.

I thought religion has been taken out of schools? If so, it's NO!

Indoctrination.
They don't really care what you think.
Further, this just scratches the surface of the things that are being taught in our schools regarding the muslim religion, beliefs, practices, history, etc., to impressionable children.
Are the new teaching models supposed to find SOME WAY to associate the lesson with muslim this or that??
As Mao once said "Let the brainwashing begin!!".
Ok, maybe he didn't, I don't know. But he COULD have.....
Keep cheering!!
