Prayer in School for Muslim Students (Where is ACLU?)

San Diego public school has set aside 15 minutes of classroom instruction time for Muslim students to pray, but where is ACLU?

Right now it has no plans to legally challenge the budding madrassa as endorsement of a religion by government. Apparently the establishment clause only applies to the practice of Judeo-Christian rituals in public places.

The special accommodations for Carver Elementary’s nearly 100 Somali Muslims don’t stop with organized prayer. The school cafeteria has banned pork and other foods that conflict with the Islamic diet.

In effect, Carver administrators have carved out a school within a school expressly for Muslims, elevating them above Christian and Jewish students. They’ve had 15 minutes of instruction time taken away from them, so Muslims can roll out their pray mats.

Seventh-graders at a San Francisco-area school were required, even after 9/11, to “become Muslims” for two full weeks as part of California’s world history curriculum. This included reciting the Muslim profession of faith — “Allah is the only true God and Muhammad is his messenger” — and chanting “Praise be to Allah” in response to teacher prompts.

There’s a stealth jihad under way in our schools, and school officials, wittingly or not, are aiding it. The ACLU, which operates from a double standard, refuses to step in. That leaves it up to parents to stand up and insist that the purpose of our tax-supported public schools is to educate our children in English as Americans.
