Aqua Dulce (Sweet Water) California allows the drawing of mohamed in schools

 Victory for basic first amendment in a California school board

 

ACTON — Members of the Acton-Agua Dulce school board voted unanimously (5-0) Thursday evening to allow students to choose to draw Muhammad–or not–in one of America’s smaller school districts.

The mother of a 7th grade student at High Desert School in Acton had complained when her 12-year-old son brought home a worksheet from his history class two weeks ago titled “Vocabulary Pictures: The Rise of Islam.” The worksheet listed words such as Quran, Mecca, Bedouins and Muhammad, and asked for students to draw images related to the words.

She then complained that the assignment, which turns out to be part of the approved curriculum, was inappropriate and suggested it taught children “how to insult a religious group.” The Los Angeles Daily News reported that district superintendent Dr. Brent Woodard told staff permanently to prohibit the drawing of all religious figures in order to prevent the offending of all religious groups.

(“There are times in history where ordinary people are called upon to do extraordinary things” Chris Burgard says in this video. This is a phrase I think all of us need to keep close to the chest for the next long while)

  1. Wow! That was on a par with any speech I have ever heard, including Winston Churchill, Ronald Reagan and JFK. He explained the situation perfectly and eloquently and convincingly, but all in this amazing everyman cowboy style that sounded real because the guy is real. I hope this goes viral and I hope a few soft leftists stop screaming “racist!” for just one second and listen for a change…

  2. That is one smart guy. He was able to explain sharia, CAIR and the MB in a short concise message that I think even those that don’t know much about the topic would understand.
    I started wondering if he frequents any of the sites I do on the net!
    BTW, I was reading the comments on Yahoo News to this story and one poster kept claiming that there was no relationship between MB, CAIR and the Holy Land terrorism trial.
    He said repeatedly that we just wanted it to be true because we are bigots…

    • I have had the chance to speak with him a couple of times and it is my opinion at this time that he is truly a stand up guy. I am honoured to know him.
