Too disgusted to even comment on this


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.

“By urging teachers to bless Muslim students in Arabic, the District is running roughshod over the First Amendment’s mandate of government neutrality toward religion,” said FCDF executive director Daniel Piedra.

“A school district would never order teachers to ‘welcome’ Catholic students during Easter with ‘He is risen, alleluia!'” added Piedra, “Singling out Muslim students for special treatment is blatantly unconstitutional.”

FCDF sent a legal memo to Martinson on Monday, warning the superintendent that the school district is likely violating the United States Constitution by favoring Muslim students, and that the advocacy group may take legal action if the district does not “rescind the Ramadan Policy within a reasonable time.”

“To be clear, nothing in the Constitution prohibits public schools from accommodating students’ religious exercise to the extent it would not interfere with educational interests,” states the memo, “‘But the religious liberty protected by the Constitution is abridged when the State affirmatively sponsors’ religious practice.”

“Here, by issuing the CAIR Letter to District employees, you acted under color of state law to create an official policy that has a primary effect of advancing religion,” adds the advocacy group, “The Ramadan Policy, in both adoption and implementation, plainly imposes liability on the District under the United States and Washington Constitutions.”

The letter also warns Martinson about CAIR’s anti-Semitic advocacy, as well as its ties to Islamist supremacists.

“CAIR is notorious in public policy and national security circles for its ties to Islamic supremacism, including its founding by the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas,” affirms the legal memo.

“These facts are not anti-Muslim conspiracy theories,” adds the letter, “Federal prosecutors have acknowledged that Muslim Brotherhood leaders founded CAIR and that it has conspired with Muslim Brotherhood affiliates to support terrorists.”

“CAIR is also noted for its anti-Semitic activism,” continued FCDF, citing a the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which had published a “Profile” two years ago regarding CAIR and its chapters partnering “with various anti-Israel groups that seek to isolate and demonize the Jewish State.”

FCDF says that the CAIR-issued Ramadan guidelines are “yet another attempt by CAIR to infiltrate uninformed school districts so it can advance its subversive agenda.”

“CAIR must not be allowed to indoctrinate impressionable schoolchildren under the guise of ‘diversity’ and ‘cultural awareness,'” states the advocacy group, “FCDF is committed to keeping CAIR out of our America’s public schools.”

On Good Friday, did these same teachers greet Christian students with “He is Risen”?

I'm not saying this isn't fucked up but it isn't in Seattle; it's not even in King County. Pierce County is Tacoma turf.

Dieringer School District—An Overview

Established in 1890, Dieringer School District consolidated with Lake Tapps School District in 1936. The District's three schools, Lake Tapps Elementary School, Dieringer Heights Elementary School and North Tapps Middle School, provide Pre-School through 8th grade education, and serve as hubs for community activities. The majority of Dieringer School District #343 is located in unincorporated Pierce County, bounded on the east by the White River, on the west by the Stuck River, on the north by the city of Auburn, and on the south by the cities of Bonney Lake and Sumner. The District surrounds the northern two-thirds of Lake Tapps and covers approximately 5.5 square miles.

They're just sucking up to the muslims in the hopes that they won't be decapitated when the muslins take over the country. (just partly tongue-in-cheek)

makes me want to puke

That's my only complaint with it, that it's surely a double standard.

I don't care about saying that to a Muslim kid if they want, but you can be sure that those teachers were not guided to say similar to their Christian students two weeks ago or the Jewish students last week.

I will say that our Muslim students asked their teachers the other day to say "Ramadan mubarak" to them in the halls, but, again, that was the kids themselves who wished to have it said. I'm fine with that: their faith, their request.

I'd bless them with a piece of bacon

I prefer that a public school district is kept clear from any religious upbringing of my children.

Those asshats are simply out of their minds..

The Muslim kids in Philly get to sing about chopping off your head.

I’m guessing that would be a NO. It should be even across the spectrum. I have no issues with learning about any faith. Participation, however, should stay at home.

The hell with all that! How about the damn schools focus on teaching so their kids can read, write, and do math at or above grade level. If the school system tried to accommodate everyone's religion to everyone's satisfaction, the schools wouldn't have the time to teach their students anything of value. Wanna celebrate camel jockey day? Do it on your own time at home.

Just another reason. Am glad I moved from there.

Here’s a letter from the district:

“May 7, 2019

Good Afternoon:

Fox News has released a news story regarding the Dieringer School District that is totally false. The Dieringer School District has not and would not violate the First Amendment by endorsing any religious observations. Be assured that we respect the personal beliefs of you and your family.

We are very disappointed that a national television network would broadcast a story based on no facts or information.

Regards,

Judy Martinson, Supt.”

This pegged my BS meter

I live right up the road from there, and work for a school district that is worse than that!
From what we’ve heard, the superintendant sent out guidelines telling employees what they were being asked to do by this hamas frontgroup.
She apparently didn’t tell them not to comply, which is the same as saying you need to do this.
These schools around here are a liberal mess and getting worse by the day.
Off to hell with all of these ass kissing anti-American fools.

not in this country

they're the epitome of evil

they don't belong here, none of them

ever

I know its a lost art for a huge majority of this country, but critically examine the super's comments for specific content.

Did the Super....

1 - Refute the FCDF claim that she (Martinson) had "enacted the CAIR letter as official policy by distributing the guidelines to principals?
2 - Refute that the CAIR letter, once distributed by her office to principals, was "...further distributed to teachers and staff"?

Sooooo, if the super (Martinson) had no intention of adhering to CAIR's demands and requirements, why was the CAIR letter distributed at all?

Simple extrapolation....the super is a liar. Once this story aired in the media and the temper and ire of a large majority of the country came to bear on this nitwit and her willingness to bend to CAIR (i.e. enemies of this country), her knees began to shake and she started looking for a way out. Sorry sweetie, but you're a moron, who shouldn't be anywhere near a school or children.
