Dieringer School District in Seattle, Washington, is calling on its teachers to follow CAIR-issued guidelines regarding adherence to Islam. The school district is urging its teachers to bless Muslim students by reciting Arabic to them during Ramadan.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) issued an “Informative Letter on Upcoming Islamic Holidays and Religious Accommodations,” pressing school district officials to have their teachers recite “Ramadan Mubarak!” or “Ramadan Kareem” when welcoming Muslim students during Ramadan, according to the religious liberty advocacy group Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund (FCDF).
The letter also instructs teachers to monitor Muslim students’ Ramadan fasting, as well as to refrain from scheduling tests during the Islamic holidays Eid Al-Fitr and Eid, adds FCDF.
One school district has reportedly reacted to the letter by urging its teachers to follow the CAIR-issued guidelines. FCDF says that Dieringer School District superintendent Judy Martinson enacted the CAIR letter as official District policy by distributing the guidelines to principals, who then distributed it to all teachers and staff.

You liberal idiots have taken a hook line and sinker
I thought RELIGION was not allowed in schools ? Democrats are destroying America.
TREASON.
What moron would fall for this hypocrisy? It is just their (Muslim) way toss it out there and see who bites.Beyond Stupid. Can be allowed just after school prayer, Pledge of Allegiance, and Christ are brought back. If you don't like it, get on your camel and ride to another country. Try Mexico.
Well, isn't that so very nice. I wonder how many teachers will refrain citing their personal religious beliefs.
Nope, nope, nope... separation of church and state means no religion, at all! no prayer rooms for any religion, no catholic candles, no nothing provided by the school. They took away Christmas and call it Winter Holidays now, Blessings are not the teachers job either.
Why don't we stand up and so No. Go back where you came from. Blacks should be extremely worried because the future concerns will be Muslims only with blacks farther back on the burner.
Burn the whole damn state down
Were there any schools greeting students with, "He is risen," after the Easter break? Didn't think so. No, there will be no blessing them in Arabic during Ramadan. Isn't that a religious holiday? Separation of church and state and all of that happy horse sh*t that you all quote when you throw Christ out of schools. Same goes for Mohammed.
This when saying "Bless you" to a student is illegal?
This is pure and simple BULLS**T, We must say NO to this kind of thing. Don't let it get a toehold like Madeline Murray Ohare did with taking prayer out of school. This is how it starts.
