Parents sue public high school for 'religious indoctrination' after their daughter was 'forced to convert to Islam in world history class'

The Daily Mail reports:
The parents of a Maryland teenager have launched a lawsuit against their daughter's public high school, claiming the district forced the 16-year-old to take classes that promote Islam over Christianity and Judaism.

John Wood, a former Marine, and his wife Melissa Wood, have filed a civil rights complaint against La Plata High School, alleging their daughter - identified only as C.W. - spent one day in a modern history class studying Christianity, followed by two weeks immersed in Islam.

According to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail Online, the 11th grader 'had to profess the Shahada by claiming ''There is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah''.'

'Such discriminatory treatment of Christianity is an unconstitutional promotion of one religion over another,' President and Chief Counsel of the Thomas More Law Center Richard Thompson said.



You really have to suspect the worst from some people running government schools. Maybe it's time to bring back the House Un-American Activities Committee .
