About 50 teachers and administrators at one Pennsylvania school district attended a recent training session on Islam and Arabic culture, during an all-day in-service workshop that came at taxpayer expense.
The workshop in the town of Lebanon was led by a former district Arabic translator, Mohamed Omar, who “took time off from his new job as a case worker for the Department of Human Services in Philadelphia to share his knowledge of Islam with the staff,” the Lebanon Daily News reported.
Among the attendees: Superintendent Marianne Bartley and a handful of other administrators, EAGNews.org reported.
The training session included a comparison-contrast of U.S.-Arab education, as well as a visit to a local mosque to learn more about the Islamic religion – and to join in the congregation’s prayer service, the news outlet said.

“We have so many students from different Hispanic countries, but slowly but surely the Arabic population is growing,” Omar said, EAGNews.org reported. “With Hispanics you have the language differences and certainly cultural differences, but there are similarities in their religious practices. Of course, the Arab language and the religion are very much different, but we are learning that there are also many similarities.”
Teachers and administrators removed their shoes at the mosque and mingled with the congregation, discussing God, Islam and Christianity, the news outlet reported.
“We believe we will be judged by God,” Omar said, at the mosque, EAGNews.org reported. “The more good deeds we do, God will forgive us in the end. … You must work. Faith without work will not be accepted.”

What a load of PC bull. It has NEVER been a teacher’s nor a US education administrators place to use taxpayer monies and public schools to learn and teach the religions of foreigners and foreign nations to K-12 students. If teachers and education administrators want to learn this crap for their own development, fine but have THEM PAY FOR IT out of their own pockets and meet in private and OFF all publically-owned and taxpayer-funded properties.
Sounds to me like its time Judicial Watch is given a headsup and have them shut this crap down.
