High School: Islamic vocabulary lesson part of Common Core standards

Parents in Farmville, North Carolina want to know why their children were given a Common Core vocabulary assignment in an English class that promoted the Prophet Muhammad and the Islamic faith.

“It really caught me off guard,” a Farmville Central High School student who was in the class told me. “If we are not allowed to talk about any other religions in school – how is this appropriate?”










The Islamic vocabulary worksheet was assigned to seniors.

“I was reading it and it caught me off guard,” the student told me. “I just looked at it and knew something was not right – so I emailed the pages to my mom.”

I asked the school district to provide me with a copy of vocabulary worksheets that promoted the Jewish, Hindu and Christian faiths. The school district did not reply.

“In the following exercises, you will have the opportunity to expand your vocabulary by reading about Muhammad and the Islamic word,” the worksheet read.

The lesson used words like astute, conducive, erratic, mosque, pastoral, and zenith in sentences about the Islamic faith.

“The zenith of any Muslim’s life is a trip to Mecca,” one sentence read. For “erratic,” the lesson included this statement: “The responses to Muhammad’s teachings were at first erratic. Some people responded favorably, while other resisted his claim that ‘there is no God but Allah and Muhammad his Prophet.”

Another section required students to complete a sentence:

“There are such vast numbers of people who are anxious to spread the Muslim faith that it would be impossible to give a(n)___ amount.”

I spoke to one parent who asked not to be identified. She was extremely troubled by what her child was exposed to in the classroom.

“What if right after Pearl Harbor our educational system was talking about how great the Japanese emperor was?” the parent asked. “What if during the Cold War our educational system was telling students how wonderful Russia was?”

The parent said the material was classwork disguised as Islamic propaganda.

“It’s very shocking,” she said. “I just told my daughter to read it as if it’s fiction. It’s no different than another of fictional book you’ve read.”

A spokesman for Pitt County Schools defended the lesson – noting that it came from a state-adopted supplemental workbook and met the “Common Core standards for English Language Arts.”

“The course is designed to accompany the world literature text, which emphasizes culture in literature,” the statement read.

The problem is it’s emphasizing a specific culture and religion – and the school district acknowledged there were concerns “related to the religious nature of sentences providing vocabulary words in context.”

“Our school system understands all concerns related to proselytizing, and there is no place for it in our instruction,” the statement goes on to say. “However, this particular lesson was one of many the students in this class have had and will have that expose them to the various religions and how they shape cultures throughout the world.”

I asked the school district to provide me with a copy of vocabulary worksheets that promoted the Jewish, Hindu and Christian faiths.

The school district did not reply.

I also asked for the past or future dates when the students would be given those vocabulary worksheets.

The school district has yet to reply.

I told you folks this muslim crap was coming three years ago in my thread , I Take My Stand, You?
We have active , determined opposition to take any vestige of Christianity or reference to go, Jesus out of schools yet they now actively place this ffing muslim shit in!!
IMHO, those engineering this ffing crap should at least be jailed and I'd go so far as saying even worse done to them....
for they are true traitors seeking the absolute destruction of we infidels.. --Tyr

It's been coming, I always thought it would be a black white race war but those in charge are going to make sure they get the most for there buck and throw the Muslims in and make it a race war/ Religious war.

The same folks that brought them to Europe ( liberals ) yes the poor libs are so busy worry about the poor mistreated Muslims and blacks and worrying how they can do away with Christmas that these idiots don't even see what they are doing to there own country, we keep bringing them here giving them special rights because hell maybe they will like us if we do and the entire time they are trying to figure out how they can kill the most the quickest way, and no that isn't all of them, there are good blacks and even some Muslims, but the good Muslims don't run around with there prayer rugs hell they are Muslim because they where born into it. Gabby speaks of her neighbors that are Muslims ( I dont know them so I cant say for sure ) but the way she speaks of them they seem like great folks, and yes this country was built on foreigners, and we have had the right to practice any religion we want always ( that is why others hate us ) so why now do we have to allow one particular religion that is hell bent on killing all others even exist, it's time to annihilate these POS , we don't just allow it we help them, our Government is bending over backwards for these murdering POS. It's kind of like the school yard bully ( hell if I give him my snack maybe he will leave me alone ) nope he will happily eat your snack and then bust your ass for a thank you , Time to take our Country back !!!

And no doubt many will read this ( most will glance and not even bother to read it ) but there are people like me all over this country that are typing articles just like this today, after having two police officers executed for doing nothing, just because a bunch of race baiters pushed for it and a liberal mayor pushed it, it is time to show there yard apes what we are really made of and we have had enough of if ya break the law and the cops do there job then you will burn the Bitch down !!! We aren't quite as stupid our neighborhoods wont burn but what is left of the ghettos are going to become a bomb fire, maybe not today but it is about there.

This comes across as a more covert version of the actual school TAKEOVERS we've had happen over here (Birmingham, W Midlands, was especially bad). I'm betting that Islamists thought it safer to try something bolder here, because of the 'PC' climate over in the UK which is extremely tough on anything that can be interpreted as racism, or racial profiling.

They found out otherwise.

This sort of infiltration, I'm sure, is being, will be, tried wherever in the world Islamists think they might be able to get away with it. My guess is that in your country, you'll see a lot more of such attempts at education subversion.

[red state]

Displacement......pure and simple.

I see a fading away but it would be nice to see the USA go our in a blaze of glory. We shall see. I'll feel much more opptimistic (IF) we get reasonable candidates and not the ilk we've been forced to vote for (and seem to be forced to vote for in 2016). I have been chastised for my take on a third party and I've respectfully conceded to those rebuttals toward my 'former' stance on the subject but I'm beginnin to rethink all that has been debated. We simply can not continue to allow them to continue with all the McSHAMES, Mittens and doughnut boys. Too much is at stake now.

The USA go out? Are you nuts? Things will get to a tipping point, the citizens will say "enough" and things will start to improve. I read an interesting article about "Peak Left" in the US that I intend to post shortly.

This presupposes a constancy in peoples' attitudes. I can tell you from my own society, that Left-wing social engineering can have a big impact on that.

One is the 'Islam is a religion of peace' lie. Here, there are Conservatives who cannot hope to get elected unless they parrot that lie to the media. Those choosing to see things otherwise - and remember, this is AFTER such outrages as 9/11 and 7/7 - can be, and are, demonised as intolerant and racist.

I'm sure this would have been different had our Socialists not done their utmost to chip away at social standards over the years.

[red state]

I, sir, am not the one to be labeled blind, ignorant or 'nuts' simply because I know history, the nature of men or can distinctly see the course we ARE taking. One could label those who do not see such things and merely take for granted that which we WERE as weak, blind, ignorant or "NUTS". I'll be content to have the members explain who falls into which category but I'm certain of one thing: two lefts to every right only leaves you going LEFT with no forward motion. Try it....I'm as right as two RIGHTs and a left keeping you FORWARD.

Thankfully, our small "tipping points" to the right has kept us afloat but a boat can be tipped just so far or so rapidly that physics takes over. The "tipping" we've seen has been a steady tipping to the left that has been more of an overwhelming JOLT within the past 14 years. Considering attacks on Christians, the Constitution (overwhelmingly written by Christians) and the degrading of our military that has always been primarily Christian, it is easy to see or predict an atmosphere that is forever anti-American and WILL tip the boat COMPLETELY over. The recipe for certain disaster is made worse by catering to, or even aiding, our enemies. lump those who willfully ignore the 'writing on the wall' and you have the key components found throughout history that resulted in the fall of nations.

There have been many who have said; [THIS can NEVER happen to me or my nation] but history proves otherwise. When observing our own "progress" within the past century, one can quickly see that we've had drastic turns to the left with, ever so slight, counter maneuvers to the right. Such GOOD/RIGHT counters rarely, if ever, outweigh the evil we allow from the LEFT, the commies and NOW the iSLUMists. While navigating, we've taking many large LEFT deviations within our FORWARD goal that a few, insignificant RIGHTS will never allow us to reach our destination.

In closing; aiding, Ignoring or simply underestimating the enemy and/or overestimating the resilience of this great Nation founded and KEPT by a majority of CHRISTIANS is a big mistake........so is trying to label me as 'nuts'. I have found that the "nuts" response is usually a simplistic response from a simplistic mind.

Spot on and worthy of quoting.....if I may, I'd like to place an emphasis on your use of the words "chipping away" mentioned within your excellent post. Your accurate depiction of how we lose our freedom (one chip at a time) is based on personal experience, facts and was presented with civility rather than lowering the bar by SIMPLY labeling one as NUTS.

I'm sure that Brits, Aussies and others of such fine nations have asked themselves WHAT HAPPENED?! It is true that you are not a citizen of and/or under the protection of the US CONSTITUTION but it seems that any one of us fall under your state/fate when considering all the attacks and "chipping away" of our rights and freedoms (under BUSH, B.O. and those before them). They haven't been the first, last or worse; they just happen to be the current day poster children for the CHIPPERS.

You cannot give Reputation to the same post twice.

WHAT A GREAT TRUTH you have just given for consideration my friend!
Yes, we are in a fast increasing downward spiral and I suspect that tipping point will be reach far sooner than anybody imagines. Gaffer and I used to discuss this exact same thing often. He knew that there were Terrorists cells within this nation operating and some waiting for the signal when the time is right.
Damn, I miss him coming in about right here to teach some the error of their thinking.
This nation can ill avoid to lose men of his stature and principles. Yet time and age takes its toll. I'll be hitting the big 61 in about 11 weeks.
I can remember a time when if you had described this nation being (in the future) as it is now , you would have been locked up for mental treatment!! And if you described a President acting as Obama now does your ass would have never gotten out of treatment!
That my friend is just how deeply messed up we are!!! --Tyr

Being overly negative makes people stop trying. I will keep putting up signs and working the phones to defeat the left irrespective of the mood. After the huge victory last month, the pessimism is uncalled for.

No sir, the truth needs to be told.
This pretending that we are NOT in this totally messed up condition by lying about how bad it ISN'T is in fact a deep folly..
It is also going along with the propaganda the big G puts out as it destroys more and more of this once great nation!
You are yielding to the lies and stating we should not tell others the truth of it.
That this man can not abide and will never do...

If most decent Americans knew just how close to total collapse and/or civil war we are now they'd take drastic action --but they don't so the terrible , dreaded future will come to be... A sad reality. Letting the boat sink due to being to busy sleeping and pretending all was well and no big deal.. That's what Obama and the media are both preaching..
Are you sure you want to go with them on that path?
I oppose them on every damn thing they do and know its the correct path to take..
Why help those worse than the Nazi's ever were , just because they haven't reached the extermination stage yet???--Tyr

[gabosaurus]

I fail to see how any student could be provided with an "Islamic vocabulary lesson."
First of all, Islam is a religion. It is not a language.

`Islam is not a religion, Islam is a cult. For anyone to think otherwise, they are not familiar with Islam or cults. There is a big difference between religions and cults. The basic difference is freedom. You are free to practice a religion if you choose. Free to go to church. Free not to go. This is not the case with Islam. This is because those who do not practice Islam in Islamic countries are put to death. There is a great deal of pressure to practice Islam in western countries as well.`

EXACTLY! After the so-called huge victory, the pessimism is absolutely called for because such leaders as McCain are still in power, voice little in our favor and will more than likely continue to appease B.O. with the cherry on top being their shoving another worthless candidate down our throat! Yeah, that was some big victory that we can be proud of. We're gonna need many more and much more of TRUE leadership like a WEST to truly make a difference.

Here are the real monsters with a Holy book in one hand and a gun in the other and strangely enough the lousy Dem party/liberals takes very little notice and make even less criticisms! Yet they scream about conservatives Christians being bible toting gun fanatics when they are not out waging war and murdering innocent women and children to advance their religion!!

Seriously, Gabby ?

Surely, vocabulary consist of two components? One ... the inclusion of a word. Two ... what the word actually means / is associated with .. (!!) .....

In the case of Islamist propaganda ... kids being programmed to adopt Islamic attitudes can be told to associate particular words with biased definitions. 'Westerner' to a militant Islamist might be taken to automatically mean an enemy of Islam located in the West, whereas to us, the Islamic 'hate' connotation would be absent.

Consider the word 'Rubber'. To a Brit -- it means nothing more than 'pencil eraser' ... or, the material 'Rubber'. We in the UK don't use that word in other ways. Now, according to an American vocabulary - distinct from a British one - it also means ... ?

[aboutime]

Everyone should already know. There are only TWO WORDS in the Islamic Vocabulary.


and those TWO WORDS are: "ALLAH SNACKBAR".

I learned that from an authority who no longer visits DP from Australia.:laugh:
